Removing burst blood vessels with laser – safe and effective treatment

What causes burst blood vessels?

Broken blood vessels (also called telangiectasia) can be caused by genetics, sun damage, hormonal changes, or increased pressure in the blood vessels.

They often occur on the face (nose, cheeks, chin) or on the legs and feet, and can be aggravated by heat, alcohol, or prolonged sun exposure.

How are burst blood vessels removed?

Laser treatment is the most effective method for removing broken blood vessels.

The laser light heats up the blood vessel so that the blood coagulates and the vessel wall contracts. It is then removed naturally by the body's own system.

• Thin vessels and spider veins are removed with laser
• Larger varicose veins are often treated with sclerotherapy.
• The result is smoother skin and a fresher appearance.

How many treatments are needed?

Most people achieve good results after 1–2 treatments. For more prominent veins, 3–4 treatments at 4–6 week intervals may be necessary.

Is the treatment painful?

The treatment feels like a slight prick or warmth, but is generally well tolerated. No anesthesia is necessary.

After treatment

You may experience slight redness and warmth in the skin on the same day. Avoid sunbathing, hot baths, and exercise for the first 24 hours.

Use sunscreen (SPF 50) to protect your skin during the week following treatment.

Results and duration

The results are often visible immediately, and the full effect is achieved within 2–4 weeks.

Removed blood vessels disappear permanently, but new ones may appear over time due to sun damage or hormonal causes.
