Facial Telangiectasia Treatment

Facial Telangiectasia (Broken Capillaries / Spider Veins)

Overview
Facial telangiectasia, commonly known as broken capillaries or spider veins, is a frequent cosmetic concern caused by dilated small blood vessels on the face. Yoskarn Clinic in Bangkok has over 40 years of experience in diagnosing and treating vascular skin conditions safely and effectively.

Causes

Facial telangiectasia often develops due to:

• Chronic sun exposure

• Genetic predisposition

• Skin trauma or surgery

• Liver disease

• Radiation therapy

• Long-term steroid use

• Aggressive chemical peels

Fair-skinned individuals are more likely to develop this condition.

Types

Telangiectasias are classified as:

• Spider or Star-shaped: Common in children and teens

• Linear: Fine red lines, often on cheeks or nose

• Arborizing: Tree-like branching vessels, usually in adults

They appear most often on the face (60%) and legs (20%).

Laser Treatment at Yoskarn Clinic

Yoskarn Clinic uses the Copper Vapor Laser (Yachroma-Med) — one of the most precise “vascular” lasers — for selective photothermolysis. This method:

• Targets abnormal vessels without damaging nearby skin

• Provides microsurgical accuracy

• Requires no anesthesia in most cases

• Has minimal pain and downtime

After treatment, mild redness may appear for a few hours. Small scabs, if present, heal naturally within 3–7 days.
