Broken Capillaries Treatment: What Can CoolView Laser Do for Your Broken Capillaries

Broken capillaries or spider veins are a commonly treated skin condition. Whilst they don’t pose any health risks, people with visible veins might be concerned about their appearance. This is where a broken capillaries treatment can help.

Amongst the different options for vascular treatments, the CoolView Laser is a popular and non-invasive approach. It specifically targets issues with skin tone, providing a reliable treatment option for people concerned about discolouration. A treatment plan may consist of multiple sessions, depending on your goals and the amount of veins or pigmentation you wish to reduce.

To learn more about this broken capillaries treatment, contact our trained team at Ascension Clinic. We discuss and plan our treatment approach with each client to help them get the most from their broken capillaries treatment at our New Farm clinic in Brisbane.

What causes broken capillaries?

Broken capillaries are blood vessels that are enlarged or sit just below the skin, and they don’t typically go away with time. Often, these veins appear as a network of red blood vessels that resemble a spider’s web, hence the common term ‘spider veins’. Since they often appear on areas such as the nose and cheeks, people might wish to have them treated and reduced.

Although these visible veins can occur at any age, some things may make them more likely to develop, such as:

  • Natural ageing
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Consumption of spicy foods
  • Sun exposure
  • Medication
  • Allergies

What is the CoolView Laser?

The CoolView Laser is a popular technology that targets and reduces pigmented lesions. Whilst it treats a variety of skin concerns, it can be a great option as a broken capillaries treatment.

What sets CoolView apart from other similar treatments is its heightened ability to address multiple skin issues at once. It treats a wide range of vascular issues, such as redness, pigmentation, and deeper skin problems. It can be used for pigmented areas on the face, hands, neck, and décolletage, and can address problems such as:

  • Pigmentation
  • Redness
  • Rosacea
  • Broken capillaries
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Skin textural issues

Things to consider

1. Candidates
CoolView is suitable for a wide range of people and skin conditions. However, to know if you’re a good candidate, you’ll need to check with a medical professional. Our team at Ascension Clinic meet with each client prior to their treatment to ensure they are a candidate and that we can provide a suitable treatment plan for their unique needs.

2. Aftercare
The CoolView Laser is a non-invasive treatment, meaning there is little downtime required afterwards. But despite this, it’s still a good idea to take care of your skin and avoid things that may cause irritation after treatment, such as sun exposure and smoking. You might also need to apply sunscreen regularly to help protect against further sun damage.

We will provide more instructions on how to help your skin effectively process the effects of treatment. You should pay attention to these instructions and use any topical creams recommended by your dermal therapist.

3. Number of treatments
Commonly, patients might get two to three treatments, depending on the extent of their skin concerns. If your skin is very sun damaged, you might require additional treatments. CoolView can also be combined with other treatments such as Healite to help achieve the desired skin smoothness.

4. Results
Generally, brown spots and pigmentations might flake off or fade within a few weeks, and red capillaries might gradually diminish.

This being said, another to consider about any cosmetic treatment, including broken capillaries treatment, is that results will vary. Every person is unique, with their own skin needs and desired outcomes, which means that results too will be unique. It’s important to discuss the possible results with your cosmetic therapist to ensure you know what to expect.

5. Risks and side effects
Although the risks are lower than invasive procedures like surgery, there is still a risk that things can go wrong. Side effects like redness and temporary darkening of pigmented spots are normal. If you notice any concerning symptoms, however, such as pain or prolonged side effects, you should contact the clinic.
