Broken capillaries are tiny blood vessels just under the surface of the skin that have become enlarged and more visible. They often look like fine red or purple lines, sometimes called “spider veins.” While they’re not dangerous, they can be frustrating—especially when they appear on the face, around the nose, or on the cheeks.
They can develop for lots of reasons: sun damage, skin trauma, genetics, aging, or even lifestyle factors like alcohol or heat exposure. People with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea are often more prone to them.
The good news? Broken capillaries don’t usually go away on their own, but there are safe, effective treatments—like laser therapy—that can help reduce or clear them, restoring a smoother, more even skin tone.
If you’ve noticed those fine red or purple lines on your face—often around the cheeks or nose—you’re not alone. Broken capillaries are a very common skin concern, and while they’re harmless, many people find them bothersome or feel they draw attention away from their natural skin.
The most effective way to treat broken capillaries is with laser or light-based treatments. These target the tiny blood vessels under the skin, gently heating them so they collapse and fade away, without harming the surrounding skin. Most people notice clearer, more even skin after just a few sessions.
While creams and skincare products can soothe redness and protect the skin, they can’t remove broken capillaries once they’ve formed. That’s why professional treatment is often the best option if you’d like lasting results.
Our advanced vascular laser treatments are designed to effectively address a wide range of vascular lesions across different skin types. Each laser treatment is customised to the patient’s unique skin needs, ensuring precise results, enhanced skin health, and an even, clearer complexion for all skin tones
Non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance. It targets fine lines, pores, uneven texture, and redness, and is suitable for all skin types and regular skincare routine.
Primarily to target superficial vascular issues, pigmentation, and redness in the skin. The KTP laser specifically absorbs hemoglobin and melanin, making it highly effective for treating conditions like spider veins, rosacea, cherry angiomas, and sunspots.
Powerful and versatile laser used to address deep vascular lesions. Its 1064nm wavelength allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to other lasers, making it ideal for targeting deeper blood vessels. The Nd Yag laser is also safe for a variety of skin types, including darker skin tones, due to its lower melanin absorption.
At Parkwood Skin Clinic, your comfort and confidence come first. From the moment you step into our clinic, our caring team takes the time to listen to your concerns and carefully examine your skin. We explain every step of the treatment process so you know exactly what to expect. Using advanced laser technology, we gently target broken capillaries beneath the skin’s surface. The procedure is precise, quick, and designed to minimise discomfort while delivering noticeable results.
Our focus is on safety, effectiveness, and a natural-looking outcome. Most patients describe the treatment as a mild warming or tingling sensation, and there’s little to no downtime—meaning you can get back to your day soon after your session. Over the following weeks, the treated capillaries fade, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin. With our expertise and personalised approach, we make the journey to calmer, healthier skin as smooth and reassuring as possible.
