Broken capillaries, also known as telangiectasia, are tiny visible blood vessels that sit close to the skin’s surface and often appear as fine red, purple, or thread-like lines. They commonly develop due to sun exposure, genetics, rosacea, ageing, or frequent temperature changes. While medically harmless, they can make the skin look persistently red and may affect comfort and confidence.
At Hawthorn Medical and Wellness Hub, we offer personalised assessment and treatment for facial redness and visible capillaries. An initial consultation with Dr Marina is essential to confirm the diagnosis and create a treatment plan tailored to your skin and concerns.
Depending on the type and extent of the redness, we may recommend IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or VeinGogh treatment. IPL can be especially effective for more general or widespread facial redness, while VeinGogh is ideal for targeting individual enlarged vessels with precision.
VeinGogh is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of unwanted fine veins quickly and effectively. Using a very fine probe, the device delivers a controlled pulse of heat to the targeted vessel, causing it to coagulate and disappear. The results is a clear skin with no spider-web veins with minimal disruption to your day.
