If you have facial telangiectasia, it’s time to visit an experienced electrolysis clinic in Garforth.

Telangiectasias are the broken blood vessels near the skin’s surface. They usually show up as red or pink lines that whiten under pressure. Once telangiectasias appear on your skin, the lines could range from red to blue and even purple.

They are usually anywhere between 1mm to 3mm wide and are pretty harmless. However, they could lead to itching and can be painful due to the pressure on the tiny veins.

Telangiectasias usually occur on the nose, face, cheek and chin. Telangiectasias can cause facial redness when the blood vessels are broken. Telangiectasias can also be found on the chest, legs, arms and back. Those appearing on the legs are known as spider veins.

Telangiectasias are usually a visual concern rather than being a health concern.

What Causes Telangiectasias?

Telangiectasia occurs on the bodies of people who are fair-skinned and those who suffer from long-term sun damage. Typically, telangiectasias don’t lead to any symptoms. There are a variety of aspects that can cause telangiectasias including

  • Sun exposure
  • Wind exposure
  • Pregnancy
  • Genetics
  • Medications that result in the widening of the blood vessels
  • Skin trauma
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Acne
  • Surgical incisions
  • Excessive use of topical or oral corticosteroids

How to Treat Facial Telangiectasia?

Facial telangiectasia is a common occurrence in healthy people and is usually a result of aging or sun damage. If your facial telangiectasia does not have a serious cause, it can be easily treated using electrolysis.

Facial telangiectasia can be easily treated at an electrolysis clinic in Garforth. At Luxe Clinic, we use electrolysis to reduce the appearance of all signs of telangiectasia from your face.

We will eliminate the coagulated capillary using phagocytosis where the white blood cells will eat them up. Small scabs could appear on the face after treatment, but they will eventually heal in a span of 3 to 21 days. You won’t have to worry about scarring. The eliminated capillary would over time be replaced by a healthy and fresh capillary thereby improving your skin’s health.

Electrocoagulation is a non-invasive and extremely safe treatment for removing the appearance of telangiectasias. This treatment is usually a lot more effective and far less painful when compared to a laser or liquid nitrogen treatment.

At Luxe Clinic, our fully qualified and experienced electrologists will take care of you to eliminate all appearance of these unsightly red lines. Get in touch with our electrolysis clinic in Garforth today to make an appointment.
