In general, photorejuvenation can treat telangiectasia (redness and visible blood vessels). The intense pulsed light emitted by photorejuvenation is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin in the small blood vessels. After absorbing the light energy, hemoglobin converts it into heat energy, which heats and coagulates the dilated capillaries, causing them to gradually close. During the treatment process, photorejuvenation can also stimulate collagen regeneration in the dermis layer of the skin, increasing skin thickness and density, which helps improve skin elasticity and resistance, further reducing the appearance of telangiectasia.
However, it should be noted that the effectiveness of photorejuvenation for treating telangiectasia may vary from person to person, depending on the severity of the condition, skin type, and other individual factors. Usually, multiple treatment sessions are required to achieve optimal results, with several weeks between each session. Additionally, after treatment, direct sun exposure should be avoided and appropriate sun protection measures should be taken to protect the skin and maintain treatment outcomes.
When choosing a treatment method, patients should consult with a qualified physician to develop an individualized treatment plan based on their specific condition. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and proper skincare, avoiding excessive cleansing and the use of irritating cosmetics, can also help prevent and alleviate telangiectasia.
