Facial vessels, also known as spider veins are blood vessels that have dilated due to weak blood vessel walls. The weakened walls expand, allowing more blood to pool into the vein, making them more visible from the surface of the skin.
When they are red they are known as telangiectasias and when they are blue, they are known as reticular veins. Facial Vessels are generally smaller veins that often form on the cheeks, nose and chin. Reticular veins are larger, less common types of facial veins, often appearing on the temples and forehead. Facial Vessels typically form in people with lighter skin and become more common as people age, often due to excessive sun exposure, alcohol intake or genetic reasons.
Your Murrieta facial vessels treatment practitioner will ensure you are as comfortable as possible; most patients are reclined or lying down depending on the area being treated. Both the patient and the practitioner will be wearing protective eyewear.
When treatment begins, the laser will be calibrated and parameters will be set based on the specific condition being treated, each condition and each individual is unique and these settings maximize the results you will see following treatment.
Typically, there is mild to no discomfort associated with IPL.
It is recommended to avoid sun exposure before and throughout treatment to maximize results. A sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher should be worn daily during this time. Post treatment care guidelines depend on the condition treated, and should be discussed with you practitioner.
Following facial vessels treatment Murrieta patients may experience redness or mild swelling in the treated area, this usually goes away in a few hours. Occasionally purpura, a laser bruise, may occur. Purpura is transient and usually disappears in three to five days.
Most patients notice beneficial results right away, and often times feel a firming or tightening of the treated area. The results of laser therapy vary depending on the condition that is being treated and the number of treatments required for clearance.
Permanency of results depend on many factors, like the condition being treated, or lifestyle of the patient. For example, if a patient has sun spots removed, and continues to spend time in the sun without adequate skin protection, it is likely that the sun spots will return. Talk with your practitioner about your goals and expectations for treatment.
