Vascular skin is a type of very delicate, superficially blood-circulated skin with inelastic blood vessels. In normal skin, capillaries contract immediately, and the redness is no longer visible. However, when our blood vessels lack elasticity, the contraction process becomes more difficult, leading to persistent redness.
How to care for sensitive vascular skin?
Sensitive vascular skin reacts strongly to internal and external stimuli, such as exposure to changing weather conditions, sunlight, and stress. Vascular skin can also be triggered by strong emotions, stress, spicy foods, hot beverages, and alcohol.
Vascular skin requires gentle care, especially during cold and windy winter months. It needs delicate, protective, and soothing skincare products as well as a long-term and preventive approach to treatment. With the right products, redness in vascular skin can be controlled.
Basics of caring for vascular skin:
- gentle cleansing product
- soothing and protective lotion designed for vascular skin
- concealer neutralizing skin redness
Vascular skin should be cleaned without further irritating or damaging the already sensitive skin. Choose a product that does not contain alcohol, fragrances, or soap. You can also try a no-rinse cleanser, as tap water may irritate sensitive skin.
Which laser treatments are recommended for vascular skin?
Laser treatments for vascular skin help achieve beautiful skin. What procedures can be performed in our clinics?
- Vessel closure with Harmony XL Dye-VL Platform laser – Vascular and pigmentary skin changes are not only a cosmetic issue but also a health concern. It is worth considering the possibility of closing blood vessels with laser, which destroys them and blocks the pathway for further branchings, often called “spider veins”. This allows effective reduction of red bumps that usually cover the face and cause skin redness, which is difficult to hide. Besides the effect of evening out redness caused by vessel dilation, the laser also has other properties, from skin rejuvenation, through hyperpigmentation reduction, to smoothing the skin surface by eliminating fine wrinkles. It is worth emphasizing the laser’s effectiveness in reducing erythema, which has previously been unsuccessfully treated in most patients.
- Closing vessels with Thunder MT – more and more people are choosing laser vessel closure on their face, which often is accompanied by unsightly erythema or even rosacea. There are many technologies on the market offering spider vein removal. The latest is the Laser Thunder MT. This laser differs from previous technologies because it has two laser beams – Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, significantly increasing treatment effectiveness. Additionally, the device’s head includes an integrated cooling system, making the procedure more comfortable compared to other technologies. The laser beam precisely targets blood vessels, minimizing recovery time. The procedure is usually performed in one session, with additional treatment possible for extensive telangiectasias. It can be repeated after about 6 weeks.
Treatment of vascular skin should be performed with great caution, which is why it is essential to seek help from experienced specialists.
