Spider Vein Treatment with IPL Photofacial

Facial telangiectasia, spider veins, and broken capillaries are visible red blood vessels that are thread like in nature. These blood vessels are not exactly broken. Walls of blood vessels that are nearer to the skin surface expand and weaken, eventually becoming more visible. Spider veins or broken capillaries are usually caused by sun damage, extreme temperatures, rubbing, irritation, and harsh skin care treatments among other environmental trauma. They worsen when combined with other conditions, such as pregnancy, rosacea, and genetic factors. The gold standard to treating minor spider veins on the face is IPL Photofacial. IPL is a highly effective treatment option or removing spider veins. It works better on light brown or white skin as compared to black skin. The kind of device used by the healthcare professional is another factor for the efficiency of the treatment. Broadband Light (BBL) technology is the most effective in case of spider vein removal. Everyone responds in different ways to IPL Photofacial. You may need multiple rounds of therapy before you can begin noticing results.

Your skin tone will develop a more even look when redness disappears and spider veins fade away.

Recovery Following IPL Photofacial

It is possible that the treated area looks red or pink immediately following the treatment. The redness may last for 4 to 8 hours.
