Vascular Lesions and Veins
Condition Overview
Visible veins and vascular lesions, including spider veins, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, and rosacea-related redness, are common concerns that develop on the face and body. These conditions often arise due to genetics, aging, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or underlying vascular issues. While vascular lesions and visible veins are generally harmless, many individuals seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, as they can cause persistent redness or uneven skin tone.
At The Face Institute, we specialize in advanced laser and light-based treatments that safely and effectively target unwanted blood vessels, restoring a clear and even complexion. Our non-invasive treatments break down vascular lesions without surgery, providing long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
Understanding Vascular Lesions & Veins
Vascular lesions occur when small blood vessels become dilated, weakened, or damaged, leading to visible redness or vein-like patterns on the skin. Common vascular concerns include:
- Spider veins (telangiectasia): Thin, reddish or blue veins, often appearing on the face and legs
- Broken capillaries: Enlarged blood vessels caused by sun exposure, aging, or rosacea
- Cherry angiomas: Small, raised, red blood vessel growths typically found on the body
- Port-wine stains: Congenital vascular birthmarks causing reddish-purple skin discoloration
- Rosacea-related redness: Persistent facial flushing due to dilated capillaries
Vascular conditions often worsen over time due to continued sun exposure, skin irritation, or genetic predisposition. Early treatment helps prevent worsening and improves skin clarity.

BBL HEROic is an excellent choice for treating widespread vascular concerns, such as chronic redness or facial flushing.

To enhance and maintain results, we recommend medical-grade skincare designed to strengthen blood vessels and reduce future vascular damage. These products include:
- Vitamin K-based creams to support capillary repair and reduce redness
- Niacinamide serums to calm inflammation and improve skin barrier function
- Daily SPF 50+ sunscreen to prevent further vascular damage from sun exposure
Scientific Credentials and Studies on Vascular Laser Treatments
A 2022 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that laser therapy with the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus achieved a 90 percent clearance rate for spider veins and broken capillaries after a series of treatments.
A clinical trial in the Journal of Dermatological Science confirmed that BBL therapy significantly reduces rosacea-related redness and broken blood vessels, with patients reporting long-term improvement in skin clarity and vascular health.
