Broken capillaries are definitely one of the most challenging skin types to care for. Extremely sensitive, prone to the effects of harmful external factors, they require special protection, but sometimes even that isn’t enough to shield against visible spider veins. Think you’ve tried every possible method to remove them? Discover professional vascular closure treatments and see that you still have a chance for smooth skin!
Laser Vessel Closure – Effective and Modern Solution
Laser treatments have long been a hit in aesthetic medicine. The procedure involves directing a laser beam onto dilated vessels, which raises their temperature and significantly contracts them, ultimately closing them and permanently eliminating the problem. At our clinic, we use two methods of laser vessel closure.
The first such treatment is Thunder MT, which uses a device with two laser beams: an Alexandrite (755 nm) and a Neodymium-YAG (1064 nm). This allows precise adjustment of treatment parameters to suit each patient’s needs. Additionally, the head is equipped with an advanced Qool-Air cooling system, greatly increasing comfort during the procedure. This treatment is most often performed once, though it can be repeated after six weeks if necessary. One session lasts from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.
The second laser-based vessel closure we offer is Harmony XL Dye-VL. The procedure is performed using a Neodymium-YAG device with a 1064 nm laser beam. It utilizes a series of three filters that focus the light within an extremely narrow range. This not only provides better results but also enhances the safety of the procedure.
Both procedures practically require no recovery period. Patients can return to their daily activities the same day. The only side effects are swelling and small scabs at the treatment site, which last at most two weeks and disappear on their own. It is also important to remember certain contraindications for laser vessel closure, such as pregnancy and breastfeeding, use of photosensitizing medications and herbs, epilepsy, certain skin diseases, blood clotting disorders, predisposition to scarring, or kidney failure.
Blood Vessel Closure with Radiofrequency
Another treatment we offer for broken capillaries is ThermaVein. This procedure involves using radio waves that cause thermal coagulation in the skin. Very fine needles are used for precise action, allowing energy to be directly delivered into the vessels. Up to 15 cm of dilated blood vessels can be treated in one session. Most often, a single 15-minute session is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Afterward, only mild redness or swelling may occur, which quickly and spontaneously resolves. Of course, you should also be aware of contraindications for this facial vessel closure method: primarily pregnancy and breastfeeding, metal implants, fresh wounds at the treatment site, history of cancer, skin inflammation, or certain cardiovascular conditions such as phlebitis.
How Long Does the Vessel Closure Effect Last?
Although the results of each vessel closure treatment are permanent, there is always a risk of the problem recurring. This is because, in skin prone to telangiectasias, other vessels may dilate. Therefore, maintaining the treatment effects depends heavily on appropriate skin care. It is also crucial to follow post-procedure recommendations carefully. The most common include proper hydration, avoiding pools, gyms, and saunas for four weeks, and refraining from sunbathing. Patients will receive all details during a medical consultation.
