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 

How to Treat Vascular Lesions & Facial Redness 

We offer safe and effective treatments to visibly reduce unwanted redness and vessels: 

Photorejuvenation with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) 

A non-invasive light-based treatment that targets red pigment and broken capillaries. IPL helps fade redness, reduce visible blood vessels, and improve overall skin tone. 

Sclerotherapy for Venous Lakes 

For dark blue or purple vascular spots—commonly found on the lips—we offer sclerotherapy, a precise injectable treatment that helps collapse and fade these lesions over time. 

Professional Skin Care 

We recommend medical-grade skincare to soothe sensitive skin, reduce inflammation, and support skin barrier health, especially for rosacea-prone skin.
