Rosacea and visible facial veins are more than just skin issues. They can affect how we feel in everyday interactions, from social events to professional settings. At RESTOR Medical Spa, we understand that managing these conditions isn’t just about appearance, it’s about helping you feel your best. With targeted laser treatments, we offer a safe, effective way to reduce redness, diminish veins, and restore skin clarity.
Why Rosacea and Facial Veins Develop and What’s Triggering Them
-
Rosacea
This chronic skin condition commonly shows up as persistent redness, flushing, visible capillaries, and acne-like bumps on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. Though its exact cause isn’t fully understood, common triggers include sun exposure, heat, stress, alcohol, and spicy foods. Over time, flare-ups can become more frequent and more difficult to control.
-
Facial Veins
Often called broken capillaries or spider veins, these appear as small red or purple lines on the surface of the skin. They are dilated blood vessels that can form due to sun damage, genetics, or skin trauma. While not harmful, they often contribute to an uneven or blotchy complexion.
How Laser Therapy Targets Redness and Veins
We use laser technology that delivers concentrated light energy to target blood vessels beneath the skin. This energy heats and damages the vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body over time. The surrounding skin is left unharmed, resulting in a more even skin tone and a reduction in redness and visible veins.
At RESTOR Medical Spa, we offer two specific treatments to address these concerns:
-
IPL Photofacial
This treatment uses intense pulsed light to target redness and pigmented lesions. It is especially effective for rosacea, broken capillaries, and sunspots. IPL gently heats the skin, stimulating collagen production while breaking down unwanted pigment and vessels.
-
Laser Vein Removal
This treatment is designed for small, visible facial veins and uses a precise laser to shrink and fade the vessels. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the blood in the vein, causing it to heat up and close off. Over time, the vessel is naturally removed by your body.
Both options are noninvasive and offer minimal downtime, making them ideal for those with busy lifestyles.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your treatment journey starts with a personalized consultation. We assess your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your goals to determine which treatment is right for you. Whether you’re targeting rosacea, facial veins, or both, we’ll create a customized plan that aligns with your skin’s needs.
During the procedure, you may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snap as the laser pulses against your skin. Treatment sessions typically last between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed. Afterward, you may notice mild redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a day or two.
Post-Treatment Care
Taking care of your skin after treatment is essential for healing and long-term results. Here’s what we recommend:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks following treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent new damage.
- Keep your skincare routine gentle. Avoid exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids and glycolic acid for a few days post-treatment.
- Stay cool. Try to avoid hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation.
- Schedule follow-ups. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. We’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits your skin’s response and goals.
