How to treat broken capillaries near lash line? (photo)

Question

I am a 42 year old femal with broken capillaries near my lash line and I was hoping to get information on how to treat.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Treating broken capillaries near the lash line can be delicate due to the sensitive nature of the area. Here are some options to consider:

Laser Therapy: Treatments like pulsed dye laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) can effectively target and reduce the appearance of broken capillaries. These treatments are performed by dermatologists and are generally safe for sensitive areas.

Electrolysis: This method uses a fine needle and electrical current to treat broken capillaries. It can be effective but requires precision, especially near the lash line.

Topical Treatments: While topical treatments are generally less effective for broken capillaries, products containing ingredients like vitamin K or arnica might help improve the appearance over time.

Gentle Skin Care: Avoid harsh facial treatments or products that can exacerbate the condition. Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers.

Protect Your Skin: Always apply sunscreen to protect your skin from further damage, which can worsen the appearance of broken capillaries.

Consult a Dermatologist: Since the area near the lash line is very sensitive, it's best to consult with a dermatologist. They can provide a precise diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate and safe treatment options for your situation.

It's important to approach treatment carefully, especially around the eyes, to avoid irritation or damage.
