Dilated blood vessels on the face are not only an aesthetic problem, but also a health problem. The so-called. “Spider veins” are the domain of vascular skin, but they can also form for many other reasons. Fortunately, cracked capillaries can be effectively combated today. One of the most effective methods is laser therapy, which can quickly reduce the red bifurcations covering the face.
Cracked capillaries – what are they?
Cracked blood vessels are otherwise known as telangiectasias. Because of their distinctive appearance – branching strands – they are commonly called spider veins. They are visible just under the skin, and are usually bluish or red in color.
Causes of the formation of “spider veins” on the face:
- Genetic conditions, vascular skin,
- Aging of the skin, then the blood vessels become weaker and burst,
- Hormonal changes (puberty and menopause),
- pregnancy,
- obesity,
- Excessive tanning (both in the sun and in tanning beds).
Laser vascular removal – what does the Dye-VL laser do?
The laser’s action is based on rapid pulse delivery and affecting only the problem areas on the skin. The laser does not affect the healthy tissue surrounding the vessel. The patient may feel a gentle warm sensation during the laser beam, which does not cause any pain. The comfort of the treatment is further enhanced by the use of a cooling head. During the procedure, laser light is accumulated in hemoglobin, the blood pigment, and converted into heat energy. This process leads to damage to the vessel wall and closure from the inside. A single treatment, depending on the size of the treated area, takes between 20 minutes and an hour. During its performance, special protective goggles are worn over the patient’s eyes.
Postoperative recommendations
For 4 weeks after treatment, do not sunbathe, protect your skin and use UV filters. Physical exercise and saunas should also be avoided.

The best results are obtained after a series of Dye-VL laser treatments. When this happens, a significant improvement and a reduction or complete removal of cracked blood vessels in the area is noticed. If you are prone to spider veins, the procedure should be repeated prophylactically once in a while.
