Broken capillaries, or spider veins, are tiny, dilated blood vessels visible near the skin’s surface. These red, purple, or blue lines can appear on the face and body, affecting your complexion and confidence. Our advanced treatments target these visible vessels, improving your skin’s appearance and creating a smooth, even tone. Quick and effective, our broken capillaries treatment offers minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we offer advanced treatments to address broken capillaries. These targeted solutions focus on visible blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. The result is clearer skin with a more even tone and reduced redness.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy targets visible blood vessels with precise light energy, reducing redness and improving overall skin tone.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin condition and discuss your goals to develop a customized plan for you. Avoid certain skincare products, excessive sun exposure, and blood-thinning medications for a few days before treatment.
The procedure typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, but most patients find the procedure comfortable.
Post-treatment, you may experience some light redness and mild swelling, which will then subside within a few hours. Protect your skin from the heat of the sun and follow our recommended gentle skincare routine. You can typically resume normal activities immediately.
The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of your broken capillaries. Many patients see improvement after 1-3 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart. We recommend a customized skincare regimen and periodic maintenance treatments to maintain results and prevent new broken capillaries from forming.
Patients who undergo treatment often see an immediate improvement in the appearance of their broken capillaries. The treated vessels gradually fade over the next few weeks as the body reabsorbs them. You can significantly improve skin clarity and evenness by following a series of treatments and properly caring for your skin.
There is usually little discomfort experienced during the procedure. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.
Treatment times range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the specific area(s) being treated.
Some improvements may be seen immediately after the treatment, with continued enhancement over the next few weeks as the body reabsorbs the treated vessels.
While the therapy primarily targets existing broken capillaries, it can also improve overall skin health, potentially reducing the likelihood of future vascular issues. Consistent sun protection and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for maintaining results.
