Why Broken Blood Vessels Happen
Tiny capillaries sit just beneath the skin’s surface. Sun exposure, high blood pressure, heat, alcohol, and inflammatory skin concerns like rosacea break down their elastic walls, causing them to dilate and stay visible. Genetics determine how easily this occurs; lifestyle triggers decide how often.
What we solve
Treatment Journey
Comprehensive Skin Analysis – Advanced imaging, oil mapping, lifestyle review
Personalized 90‑day roadmap – Combines at‑home actives with in‑clinic visits every 4–6 weeks
Progress check‑ins – Side‑by‑side images & capillary count at each appointment
Long‑term maintenance – Annual BBL® touch‑ups plus daily antioxidant & broad‑spectrum SPF
Results & Expectations
Surface redness: noticeably calmer after one BBL®
Rosacea‑linked vessels: continuous improvement; plan for quarterly maintenance to stay clear
Severe vascular lesions—such as dense telangiectatic matting or underlying venous malformations—may require referral to a dermatologist or vascular specialist for prescription medication, sclerotherapy, or other advanced care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I see improvement?
Many clients notice reduced redness within a week of their first BBL® or laser session; full clearance usually takes multiple treatments.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
We always tailor settings and products to your skin tone and sensitivity.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most describe a brief elastic‑band snap and mild warmth. Topical numbing and integrated cooling keep discomfort minimal (about 2 / 10).
Will the veins come back?
Treated vessels collapse permanently, but new ones can form. Sun protection and gentle skin care minimize recurrence.
What does it cost?
A full-face BBL® session is $600. Packages are customized to extent and depth.
How do I care for my skin afterward?
Keep the area cool, apply the soothing gel we provide, avoid alcohol & spicy food for 48 h, and wear SPF 50 daily.
