Getting rid of broken capillaries

Rachb · ‎10-07-2012

Are there any topical treatments that you've tried? I know laser/light treatments are best but I'm looking for a less expensive alternative.

I don't know but would like to hear what others suggest too.

Unfortunately I'm going to say no. Any topical application would not affect what's under the layers of skin. I had them around my nose very bad and had them removed. They did it with a needle and it hurt but that was years ago. They may have a better way to do it now. Some of them did return. I do know that exteme temp cause them. I used to wash my face with wam/hot water and then splash with very, very cold to close the pores and give my skin a glow. Little did I know that could be what caused my problem.

The only topical that I can think of that would reduce the appearance temporarily is make-up.

NO, there is nothing and even laser treatments can be iffy.

I have a few around the bottom of one nostril and asked my doctor about getting rid of them. She said they can inject a saline solution (sort of like treating varicose veins?) and it makes them disappear. I don't know the cost of such a procedure but she said she had it done herself and that it was quite painful.

If expense is your major concern, try searching diosmin or diosmin/ hesperidin on amazon or health sites. Some people find this supplement fades spider veins.

I've had both treatments done. The injection did nothing at all and was extremely painful. The laser worked but if you exfoliate the broken capillaries will return. I had a few pop up after exfoliating. I use philosophy's miracle worker foundation and it covers all my sins. A little goes a long way if you decide to try the foundation. Hope this helps. Also my dermatologist didn't charge as much as I thought. It was a little over $100 per treatment and they only allow it to be done once a month.
