Thank you for your question. There really aren't great options to reverse redness due to broken capillaries. You can prevent them from getting worse by daily sunblock and prescription creams Laser is the treatment of choice for rosacea. Be sure to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in laser surgery for the best and safest results. I hope this helps.
Topical creams are not likely to get rid of broken capillaries. Long pulse lasers and IPL are better treatments for telangiectasias of the face.
Various laser (e.g. VBeam) and light devices (e.g. IPL, BBL) can be used to remove or fade broken blood vessels and capillaries, but there are NO creams on the market that can achieve the same results.
There is no cream that will get rid of facial broken capillaries, and certain environments (heat, sun) or foods (caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, spicy foods) can actually aggravate them. The best treatments for getting rid of broken capillaries are electrosurgery (where they are superficially cauterized) or laser treatments. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist to discuss topical medications and creams that can help control the rosacea and then discuss the possibility of treating the capillaries more aggressively.
Topical and oral medications for rosacea primarily work on the inflammatory component, that is papules and pustules. Once the broken capillaries form, topical medications usually do not help. With avoidance of rosacea triggers, such as hot showers, spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol, sun exposure, saunas, and the use of topical medications, one can slow down or even stop the progression of rosacea, but the broken capillaries that are there will remain. Laser treatment, such as pulsed dye or YAG, is excellent for broken capillaries. Diffuse redness from rosacea responds very well to IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments.
There is a cream called Redness Relief,which can be purchased in a doctor's office that does help. The gold standard is still the pulsed dye laser or intense pulsed light source.
No doubt there will likely be some degree of bruising or pinpoint needle marks after injection therapy with Aschlera . We suggest maintaining the compression tape used during the procedure or to wear support stockings for 3-4 days afterwards. The use of ARNICA is useful in speeding up the...
Thank you for your question. There are complications after Sclerotherapy such as Deep Vein Thrombosis or clot. I would recommend seeing your doctor or going to ER to assess and confirm the diagnosis. If it is, an anticoagulant therapy should be started. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. Yes, this is a normal side effect of the KTP laser. The vessels can change from a red to a more bluish appearance which is a good response to the treatment. The vessels will slowly dissipate over the next few days and should improve or disappear. Keep the areas sun...
I would discourage you from treating your arm and hand veins with sclerotherapy as these are functional veins.
Sclerotherapy and microligation both work to eliminate these bulging temple veins. The veins can be removed permanently.
After undergoing sclerotherapy treatment for leg veins, it's very common for patients to experience leg swelling, especially if they do not continue to wear their compression garment as advised. Typically, compression garments should be worn around the clock for the first several days. I do not...
