Many men and women experience increased facial redness and visible blood vessels as they age. Common reasons for this frequent skin concern include rosacea, extensive sun exposure, or the natural aging process. 

As a chronic skin condition, rosacea requires regular treatment to keep symptoms at bay. Fortunately, Jordan V. Wang, MD, MBE, MBA and his team of board-certified dermatologists offer a variety of rosacea treatments at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania in the greater Philadelphia area on the Main Line in Devon.

Whether you have a chronic condition like rosacea, unexplained redness, or visible blood vessels, we have an array of topical treatments, state-of-the-art lasers, and non-surgical procedures to target your concerns.

Broken blood vessels often don’t respond well to topical treatments. That’s why Dr. Wang and his team of board-certified dermatologists offer expert laser treatments for broken vessels and facial redness.

Telangiectasias are enlargements of blood vessels that can develop anywhere on the body, but are most frequently found on the face. Several factors can cause telangiectasias, including:

• Hormonal therapy
• Sun exposure
• Certain underlying medical disorders
• Hereditary predisposition

These enlarged blood vessels take the form of red or purple vessels that resemble tiny lines on the skin. A reddish complexion often accompanies telangiectasias.

Treatments for Telangiectasias

In most instances, telangiectasias require laser treatment, as the condition rarely responds to topical solutions alone. 

A number of laser devices can help to reduce the appearance of blood vessels and redness, but our board-certified dermatologists have seen the most significant improvement with the Vbeam® Prima laser. This new and powerful laser can eliminate unwanted blood vessels and redness.
