Vascular Lesions & Facial Redness

Facial redness, broken capillaries, and other vascular lesions can affect both appearance and confidence. These visible blood vessels or red and purple spots often develop on the face but may also appear elsewhere on the body. They may be linked to genetics, sun exposure, aging, or underlying skin conditions such as rosacea. Although typically harmless, they can be persistent and difficult to manage without treatment. 

We offer advanced, evidence-based treatments to help restore a clearer, more even complexion. 

What Are Vascular Lesions? 

Vascular lesions are small, visible blood vessels or pigmented spots caused by abnormalities in the skin’s blood vessels. These include: 

• Broken capillaries (telangiectasia) 
• Spider veins on the face 
• Venous lakes (dark purple or blue spots, often on the lips) 
• Persistent facial redness from conditions such as rosacea or chronic sun damage 

Common Causes 

• Genetics – Family history of vascular skin changes 
• Sun Damage – UV exposure weakens blood vessel walls over time 
• Aging – Natural thinning of the skin and loss of elasticity 
• Rosacea – A chronic skin condition that causes facial flushing and visible vessels 
• Hormonal factors or medications – Can lead to blood vessel dilation 

Prevention Tips 

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to prevent sun-induced blood vessel damage 
• Avoid hot temperatures, alcohol, or spicy foods if you’re prone to flushing 
• Treat rosacea promptly with appropriate skincare and prescriptions 
• Practice gentle skincare and avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants
