Can Broken Veins and Redness Be Removed?

Visible facial veins are one of the most common reasons patients seek treatment.
They may appear as:
Thread veins
Red capillaries
Diffuse redness
Flushing
These vessels do not resolve with skincare alone.
Why Do Facial Veins Appear?
Common causes include:
Rosacea
Chronic sun exposure
Genetics
Ageing
Skin thinning
Once a vessel becomes permanently dilated, it requires targeted energy to collapse it.
How Light Targets Blood Vessels
BroadBand Light targets haemoglobin within the vessel.
The process:
Light is absorbed by haemoglobin
The vessel heats selectively
The vessel walls collapse
The body reabsorbs the treated vessel
This leads to:
Reduced redness
Fewer visible capillaries
More even skin tone
Is It Permanent?
Treated vessels are removed.
However, new vessels can form over time, particularly in rosacea-prone skin.
Maintenance treatments may be required.
Why Precision Matters
Overheating can cause inflammation.
Undertreating leads to poor results.
BBL HEROic allows controlled pulse duration and energy levels to treat vascular lesions safely and effectively.
At Laser & Skin Belfast, treatments are customised rather than delivered using fixed generic settings.
