Visible veins and broken capillaries can be caused by various factors, with the main causes being genetics and environmental factors.
The natural ageing process can cause veins to become more visible over time, as can stress, fatigue, pregnancy and the taking of certain medications.
Wind and sun damage to the skin can also lead to broken capillaries that cause redness on the face and other exposed areas.

The benefits of IPL for broken capillaries include:
Intense pulsed light (IPL) can be used to target broken capillaries and visible veins in various areas of the body. Specific areas that can be treated with IPL include:
At The Greville Clinic, we offer laser vein treatment using IPL, which stands for intense pulsed light.
The treatment works by targeting the affected area with controlled light pulses, which penetrate to the second layer of the skin without causing damage to the top layer.
Unwanted visible veins and capillaries can be targeted in this way, with the blood within them absorbing the pulsed light, causing them to heat up and become inflamed. The body then safely breaks them down and disperses them through the lymphatic system.
Broken capillaries, also known as telangiectasia or spider veins, are small, thread-like veins that occur as a result of the dilation of blood capillaries. When a capillary expands and contracts too quickly, blood can seep out and stay visible. Often appearing on the face, these blemishes do not cause pain and are not harmful but can contribute to an uneven skin tone, leading many people to seek out IPL for broken capillaries.
During your treatment for IPL for broken capillaries and visible veins, you may experience short bursts of warmth that are accompanied by a sensation of tingling or light pinching. Our clinicians will adjust our device settings as required, to ensure your comfort during your treatment.
