Telangiectasia, characterized by small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin or mucous membranes, often appears on areas like the face, legs, and chest. These vessels, which can be red, blue, or purple in color, are typically harmless but may pose cosmetic concerns. In some cases, telangiectasia can be linked to medical conditions such as rosacea, scleroderma, liver disease, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Identifying any underlying causes is critical to determining the right treatment approach.
At Skin & Laser Dermatology Center, state-of-the-art laser technologies are utilized to treat telangiectasia effectively and safely. Laser therapy works by emitting light that is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be gradually reabsorbed by the body, resulting in a more even and clearer skin tone.
Dr. Amir Bajoghli, founder of Skin & Laser Dermatology Center, explains, “Telangiectasia can be a source of frustration for many, but with modern laser treatments, we can significantly reduce their visibility. Our goal is to help patients feel more confident while offering safe, minimally invasive solutions with minimal downtime.”
The center offers various laser treatment options, including Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL), Nd:YAG laser, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). PDL is particularly effective for targeting red spider veins on the face, while the Nd:YAG laser addresses larger, deeper vessels, often found on the legs. IPL, a broad-spectrum light treatment, targets superficial blood vessels and enhances overall skin tone. Treatment selection depends on the size, depth, and location of the blood vessels, as well as the patient’s skin type.
For those seeking treatment, Skin & Laser Dermatology Center provides a personalized approach. During a consultation, a thorough assessment will determine the severity of the condition and a customized treatment plan will be created. Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results, and patients are advised to maintain sun protection to prevent new blood vessels from forming.
