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. CoolView Laser is one treatment option that may be considered for this condition.

A treatment plan for broken capillaries may consist of multiple sessions depending on individual circumstances, the extent of visible veins or pigmentation, and the degree of change that may be achievable.

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’. They frequently appear on areas such as the nose and cheeks.

Factors that may contribute to the development of broken capillaries include:

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

What is the CoolView Laser?

CoolView Laser is a light-based device used to target pigmented and vascular lesions in the skin. It may be considered as a treatment option for broken capillaries and a range of related skin conditions. 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 concerns 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 does not involve incisions or surgery. 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
The number of treatment sessions required varies between individuals depending on the extent and nature of the skin concerns. CoolView can also be combined with other treatments such as Healite.

4. Results
Results from CoolView Laser treatment vary between individuals. It’s important to discuss the possible results with your cosmetic therapist to ensure you know what to expect.

5. Risks and side effects
As with all cosmetic treatments, CoolView Laser carries risks and potential side effects. Common side effects include temporary redness and temporary darkening of pigmented spots. If you experience concerning symptoms — such as pain or side effects that do not resolve within the expected timeframe — contact Ascension Cosmetic Medicine promptly.
