Why Do Capillaries Become Visible?
The appearance of visible capillaries on the skin surface (telangiectasia) can develop due to various factors such as genetic predisposition, sun damage, aging, rosacea, and hormonal changes. They commonly appear on the cheeks, around the nose, and on the legs. Dr. Nuriyya Guliyeva offers expert treatment options for visible capillaries, including both laser therapy and sclerotherapy.
Treatment Methods
- Nd:YAG laser treatment
- KTP (532 nm) laser
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy
- Diode laser treatment
- Sclerotherapy (primarily for leg veins)
Capillary Treatment with Laser
Laser energy is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin within the blood vessels, causing controlled heating and coagulation of the targeted vessels while preserving the surrounding tissue. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes and usually does not require local anesthesia. In most cases, 1–2 sessions are sufficient.
After the Procedure
- Mild redness and swelling usually subside within 24–48 hours
- High-SPF sunscreen use is essential
- Treated vessels generally fade within 2–4 weeks
- Triggering factors should be avoided to help prevent the formation of new vessels
