Can laser treatment remove broken capillaries?
I am 27 years old and have some visible facial redness or broken capillaries. I would like to remove them and want to know if laser treatment can effectively eliminate facial redness or broken capillaries.

In general, laser treatment can effectively remove red blood vessels. Lasers of specific wavelengths can penetrate the epidermis and are preferentially absorbed by hemoglobin in the dilated capillaries. After absorbing the laser energy, hemoglobin converts it into thermal energy, which damages the vessel walls, causing coagulation and necrosis. This process leads to the closure of the abnormal dilated capillaries, which are then absorbed and metabolized by the body. This not only reduces the appearance of red blood vessels but also promotes collagen regeneration in the skin, aiding in the repair of the damaged skin barrier. Additionally, laser treatment for red blood vessels is considered highly safe, as it typically does not damage normal skin tissue or leave scars.
However, although laser treatment for red blood vessels is highly effective, not all patients are suitable candidates for this procedure. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and individuals with certain skin conditions may need to avoid laser treatment. Therefore, before deciding to undergo laser therapy, patients should consult thoroughly with a qualified dermatologist to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. During the treatment process, patients should follow the doctor's recommendations and properly care for their skin and apply sun protection to ensure long-lasting treatment results.
