Broken capillaries are small, damaged or dilated blood vessels that become visible near the skin’s surface. They can appear anywhere on the body but are particularly common around the nose, cheeks and other areas of the face.

Broken capillaries may be caused by:• Sudden changes in temperature• Pressure or trauma to the skin• Frequent skin flushing• Environmental factors, such as prolonged sun exposure and harsh weather

At Optimal Medi-Spa, we treat broken capillaries using the advanced Excel V laser, which precisely targets visible blood vessels and redness. Depending on your skin’s needs, we may also recommend radiofrequency therapy. Treatments are generally quick, involve minimal discomfort and require little downtime.

The number of treatments depends on the number and severity of the broken capillaries. In many cases, you can treat individual capillaries in just one or two sessions.
