Telangiectasia: Banishing Broken Capillaries | Dr Ruhil Badiani & Azaiba Kara

At Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai Marina, our experts use the most advanced laser technology to treat facial spider veins, also known as telangiectasia, which are small dilated blood vessels that can occur near the surface of the skin. The laser used for the procedure emits light wavelengths that will be absorbed by the blood in the targeted veins without damaging the surrounding areas. As a result, the blood coagulates and the veins collapse so they can be easily reabsorbed, leaving the skin clear.

 

WHAT CAUSES FACIAL SPIDER VEINS

For the most part, facial spider veins appear on the side of the nose, cheeks, and around the eyes or chin. On the body, which is also popular amongst women, they generally appear on the legs. The cause of this condition is unknown, as many factors can contribute to its appearance beneath the surface of the skin. This includes a genetic predisposition, environmental causes, sun exposure, pregnancy, rosacea, alcohol consumption or a combination of these factors.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK

The removal of facial spider veins is obtained with a painless laser treatment where the laser explicitly targets the widened blood vessels and seals them. The procedure is well tolerated as it requires a few minutes with no anaesthesia, and more specifically, there is no downtime once the treatment is over. The results can be seen immediately after the treatment. Our doctor and skin experts will determine how many sessions are recommended depending on each patient’s needs.
