Widened capillaries, spider veins and brown spots are unaesthetic facial blemishes. Fortunately, modern medical techniques offer the solution.

WIDENED CAPILLARY BLOOD VESSELS

Genetics, extreme temperatures or climatic change, sun exposure and even vitamin shortage can lead to widening of the small blood vessels on cheeks and nose. With modern laser or radio-surgical equipment, the burst vessels can be effectively sealed in one or several sessions, depending on the severity of the condition. You will have to be prepared for a few days of swelling and light scabbing, which can be adequately dealt with by cosmetic camouflage. Both after care and prevention center around the daily use of a special skin crème that suppresses the tendency to develop further lesions.

SPIDER VEINS

Micro-sclerosis remains the treatment of choice for these small-widened blood vessels, superficially on the lower limbs.

With a very fine needle, barely visible to the naked eye, the spider veins are injected with a sclerosing agent that seals them. It may take 6 weeks until the last traces of treatment have disappeared. Depending of the degree of severity, one or more sessions may be required.

BROWN SPOTS

Sun exposure, aging and genetics all contribute to the presence of superficial brown spots. They can be removed by laser, radio-surgery or chemical peeling. After treatment, a small scab will develop, which will drop off within 2 weeks. The small pink spot that is left initially needs to be guarded against sun exposure until it has resumed the normal skin color, usually within 6-12 weeks.

When you suffer from widespread superficial blemishes, you may benefit most from a Tel Aviv Mask. Apart from long-term efficacy, it will also dramatically rejuvenate aged skin.
