Red veins

Red veins, also known as telangiectasia, can be a cosmetic concern for many people. These tiny broken capillaries appear on the surface of the skin, most commonly on the face—specifically on the nose, cheeks, and chin—and can create unwanted red or pink patches that disrupt the skin’s even tone.

Causes

There are several factors that can contribute to the appearance of spider veins:

However, thanks to advanced technologies, it is possible to effectively remove these spider veins. At our clinic, we remove spider veins using intense pulsed light (IPL).

An effective solution

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is one of the most effective methods for treating red veins on the skin. This technology uses powerful pulses of intense light that selectively target blood vessels and veins in the skin. The treatment is safe and non-invasive; it leaves no scars and does not damage surrounding tissue.

Treatment Process

During IPL treatment, a special applicator with a filter is placed on the treatment area of the skin. Pulses of intense light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This heats the veins, causing them to gradually close. The closed veins then dissolve and are naturally absorbed by the body. During the treatment, patients may feel a gentle warmth or mild burning sensation on the treated area, but these sensations are temporary and usually subside quickly. After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen on the treated skin area. To achieve optimal results, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment at regular intervals.

The IPL Treatment Process

Treatment with the Ariane IPL device provides long-lasting results. It is necessary to avoid prolonged sun exposure both before and after the treatment. For this reason, we do not perform the treatment during the summer months. After treatment, pigment spots darken and then lighten or even disappear completely, resulting in clearer and more even skin. However, it is very important to follow the recommendations of the treatment staff and, if necessary, repeat the treatment depending on the type and severity of the pigment spots.
