Cracked veins and coils on the face definitely do not add to the beauty and do not look aesthetically pleasing. Fortunately, they can be effectively combated.
Individual coils are removed purposefully by electrocoagulation. We use an electrosurgical device for this. An electric needle with heat destroys the tissue of the blood vessel and it closes. Immediately after the treatment, a small scab remains in the area, which heals in two weeks with a small scar. Electrocoagulation is also suitable for the removal of skin growths and spider marks. This method is mainly used when removing small, point coils.
If it is not just an aesthetic problem, but an inflammatory skin disease of the face – rosacea, we treat it with intense pulsed light therapy (IPL).
Rosacea is first manifested by reddening of the skin, mostly on the cheeks or nose, and dilated veins. It most often affects people belonging to light phototypes. Gradually, red inflammatory pimples or blisters may appear. The disease can be provoked by heat or excessive sun exposure. In this case, activities that are irritating to the disease, such as sauna, direct sun, hot thermal baths or heating with an infrared lamp, should be avoided.
IPL therapy reduces the coils and gradually removes the redness through the action of an optimally selected program. The walls of the coils coagulate and the choroid becomes invisible. After the procedure, the redness may become even more pronounced, but this will disappear after a few hours. Some coils may reappear, so the procedure needs to be repeated.
For better results, it is advisable to use creams or gels designed for reddened skin, which improve the reactivity of skin blood vessels, in synergy with the treatment and to achieve long-term results. The most suitable periods for the procedure are autumn and winter.
