What Causes Broken Blood Vessels on the Face?
These visible red, web-like vessels are common in adults, particularly between the ages of 30 and 50. Studies show that 88% of women and 79% of men may experience spider veins on their legs. Women, especially those with multiple pregnancies, are more prone, while factors like being overweight, smoking, or having a genetic predisposition can also increase the risk.
Facial blood vessels can become visible due to several factors, many of which are out of our control. Some of the most common causes include:
- Aging: As we age, blood vessels naturally become more fragile and prone to dilation.
- Genetics: Family history often plays a role in the formation of burst facial blood vessels.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy and other hormonal shifts can increase the likelihood of developing visible blood vessels.
- UV Exposure: Extended time in the sun can weaken the blood vessels over time, making them more visible.
- Weather Variations: Extreme cold, heat, or sudden changes in temperature can exacerbate facial blood vessel issues.
- Alcohol and Lifestyle Factors: Alcohol, smoking, and certain medications can also contribute to broken blood vessels.
- Skin Conditions: Conditions such as rosacea often lead to an increased appearance of facial blood vessels.
Laser Treatment for Broken Blood Vessels on the Face in NJ
Dr. Onumah’s expertise allows us to safely treat a broad range of skin types, prioritizing comfort and optimal outcomes for each patient. Our laser treatment works by emitting a precise beam of light that passes through the top layers of the skin to reach the targeted blood vessels. This laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, converting light into heat, which then damages and ultimately eliminates the problematic blood vessels.
The treatment is safe for a range of skin types and tones, and each session is planned to provide optimal results with minimal discomfort.
Your Facial Blood Vessels Treatment Journey with Dr. Onumah
At your first consultation, Dr. Onumah will assess your skin and discuss your goals for treatment. Her experience and expertise as a skin specialist allow her to offer customized solutions to address each patient’s specific skin concerns. Here’s what you can expect At O Medical And Aesthetics In Princeton:
Personalized Skin Assessment
During your consultation, Dr. Onumah examines your skin, focusing on the location, size, and depth of the broken blood vessels. She also considers contributing factors like skin sensitivity, sun exposure, and genetic predispositions. This detailed assessment guides a treatment plan that addresses your unique skin profile effectively and safely.
Treatment Plan Development
After assessing your skin, Dr. Onumah collaborates with you to create a treatment plan. Laser therapy is often preferred, but for larger or stubborn blood vessels, she may recommend sclerotherapy, which can be more effective for such cases. The plan includes the number of sessions needed, treatment areas, and expected results.
Unique Treatments for Every Skin Type
Dr. Onumah’s knowledge of laser technology allows her to safely treat various skin types. She selects lasers and settings based on your skin type and tone, minimizing the risk of pigment changes or skin irritation. Research shows that specific laser wavelengths and pulse durations can be safely and effectively used across different skin types.
Comprehensive Treatment Solutions for Facial Blood Vessels
Broken blood vessels can affect more than just appearance—they often impact how you feel about yourself, causing self-consciousness and discomfort. Dr. Onumah’s treatment provides a path to regain confidence and comfort in your own skin.
- Laser Treatment for Broken Blood Vessels: Safe, quick, and highly effective for reducing the appearance of burst facial blood vessels and spider veins, laser treatment achieves impressive, long-lasting results with no downtime. During the process, the laser emits a beam of light that selectively targets the hemoglobin in blood vessels while sparing surrounding skin structures. The absorbed light energy is transformed into heat, effectively destroying the blood vessels without affecting nearby tissue. This precision allows for optimal results with minimal risk to the skin’s surface.
- Sclerotherapy for Larger Vessels: The procedure involves injecting a sclerosing solution that causes the targeted vessel to collapse and be reabsorbed. This method is particularly effective for blood vessels that do not respond well to laser treatments, offering an alternative option for challenging cases. While it’s typically used for leg veins, sclerotherapy can also address stubborn facial vessels.
However, depending on the severity and location of the issue, Dr. Onumah may recommend complementary treatments to further enhance your results. For example, topical retinoids may be suggested to improve skin texture and resilience, reducing future vessel formation. Microneedling can also be an option for boosting collagen, which helps to reinforce vessel walls and improve skin tone. Combining treatments like these can optimize your skin’s appearance and prevent recurrence.
Who Is the Best Candidate for Facial Blood Vessel Treatment?
If visible blood vessels are affecting your self-confidence, you may be a good candidate for laser therapy. The ideal candidates for blood vessel removal typically experience superficial veins, spider veins, or broken capillaries that they would like to minimize.
Certain medications, such as those for acne, may need to be paused before treatment. During your initial consultation, Dr. Onumah will provide comprehensive guidance on how to prepare for and follow up after your treatment for optimal results.
Treatment Recovery and Results
Following laser treatment, most patients experience minimal redness or swelling that resolves within hours to a few days, with visible improvement in broken blood vessels after a single session. Sclerotherapy recovery may involve mild bruising at injection sites, with gradual fading of larger blood vessels over several weeks for optimal results. Dr. Onumah’s empathetic, patient-centered approach ensures each patient feels supported throughout their treatment journey.
Risks and Side Effects
Potential risks like pigment changes or prolonged redness, are rare but possible. Side effects are expected, temporary reactions such as mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. Dr. Onumah customizes treatment settings and techniques to minimize both, planning each treatment session for maximum effectiveness and patient safety.
