Vascular Removal

Skin redness, particularly on the face, can stem from a variety of conditions, including spider veins, capillary dilation, bursting blood vessels, or rosacea. Understanding the underlying triggers is crucial for effective treatment and symptom relief.

At CMC, we specialise in comprehensive laser vascular removal tailored to your specific needs. Our team has experience identifying the cause of redness. By addressing these underlying factors, we aim to provide effective treatments that alleviate redness and restore a clear and vibrant complexion.

Laser Vascular Removal

CMC provides treatments for vascular skin conditions in the face and body. These include facial redness, red vessels, spider veins, rosacea, telangiectasia and port wine stains.

IDAS Laser

Spider veins, typically found on the face or legs, occur as a result of blood vessel dilation. The IDAS wavelength delivers powerful and versatile treatment for these vascular skin changes, effectively targeting them while preserving the surrounding skin.

This laser energy targets the vein patterns, breaking them up. Over time, your body absorbs these broken veins, causing them to fade away. It’s often possible to visibly reduce red vessels in just one session.

Genesis

The Genesis laser treatment offers a range of skin benefits, such as skin rejuvenation and texture improvement. It can also reduce the blood vessels that cause facial redness.

Pulse 570

The Pulsed 570 laser treatment is considered the gold standard for removing facial veins and broken capillaries. It works by using focused pulses of light that target the blood vessels below the skin. Over time, these vessels absorb the light, disrupting their structure and reducing facial redness and blemishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes facial redness?

Facial redness can either be a temporary or acute condition. It can also be a chronic condition that constantly resurfaces from time to time. Redness can be caused by a variety of things besides those initially mentioned. Allergies, psoriasis, chemical burns, or a reaction to medication can all be potential causes.

Rosacea – This is a chronic skin disease characterised by symptoms of flushing, redness, red bumps, and dry and sensitive skin.

Burns – Redness on the skin can have various causes. These include sunburn, burns from hot objects, chemical reactions, and irritation caused by friction or rubbing.

Superficial Veins – These are vascular changes in the skin caused by dilated blood vessels.

Acne – Acne, which is the most common skin condition, often leads to breakouts and skin spots. These can cause redness, swelling, and irritation on the skin, affecting many people.

What triggers skin redness?

Sun exposure – Excessive exposure to UV rays triggers the blood vessels to dilate and grow.

Alcohol – Alcohol consumption can cause inflammation in the body, including the skin. Inflammation causes the blood vessels in the skin to widen and more blood to flow. This increases the flushing and reddening of the face.

Stress – Stress affects our health in various ways and can also worsen facial redness.

Spicy foods – Spicy foods can aggravate facial redness, especially for those suffering from rosacea.

What causes Rosacea?

Rosacea typically affects the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead. It arises from the dilation, or enlargement, of the blood vessels (capillaries) located close to the skin’s surface. This dilation is what imparts the red, flushed appearance characteristic of rosacea.

Although the precise cause of rosacea remains unknown, it’s important to seek treatment as untreated rosacea symptoms usually worsen with age. It can have severe consequences, such as rhinophyma, which is marked by redness, enlargement, and fibrous thickening of the nose.

Many environmental factors can trigger rosacea or cause it to worsen including:

Alcohol
Coffee and tea and hot drinks
Spicy foods
Over-exposure to sunlight
Anxiety and emotional stress
Overheating, especially in bed at night

What are the symptoms of Rosacea?

Common signs and symptoms of Rosacea include:

Enlarged capillaries (telangiectasis)
Frequent and lasting flush across the nose and cheeks
Yellow-headed pimples on the forehead, cheeks and chin
Non-tender lumps under the skin
Swollen cheeks and nose (hyperplasia)
Frequent blushing
Burning or stinging sensations
Facial rashes

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are a result of blood vessel dilation, typically on the face or legs. They appear as small red or purple veins that twist and turn, resembling spider webs, as the name implies. These veins generally measure around 0.5 and 1 millimetre in diameter that lie close to the skin’s surface.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Various factors can lead to the appearance of spider veins, with genetics being a primary cause. Hormonal fluctuations during significant life changes such as pregnancy, puberty, and menopause can also trigger them. Also, sudden changes in weather or high-pressure outdoor activities can cause blood vessels to burst. Age is another significant contributor, as elderly individuals are more susceptible to this condition.

It’s noteworthy to mention that these vascular issues are more likely to affect women than men.
