Target facial veins and broken capillaries for enhanced skin luminosity
Broken capillaries, commonly known as facial veins, are small, damaged blood vessels that become visible on the skin's surface. These vessels typically appear as fine red, blue, or purple lines, most commonly on the face and legs.
Although broken capillaries are generally harmless and do not cause any discomfort, they may present a cosmetic concern for some individuals. Fortunately, they can be effectively treated with laser therapy.

What our Clients are Saying
Broken capillaries are often hereditary and more common in individuals with a strong family history. However, several factors can increase the likelihood of developing broken capillaries over time.
These include:
- Aging
- Pregnancy
- Smoking
- Weight fluctuations
- Sun exposure
- Certain medications
- Standing for long periods of time
The laser light targets the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, causing a controlled heat that gently damages the vessel walls. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, helping to form a small clot that works to reduce redness and repair broken capillaries.
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive technology which gently heats the upper dermis of the skin to stimulate collagen production in order to rejuvenate the skin.
Laser Genesis is also known to improve skin redness as the skin reaches the desired temperature in order to coagulate the microvasculature network in the dermis. This decreases redness, dilated capillaries and inflammation.
Green Genesis is a new variation of the traditional Laser Genesis procedure utilising a 532nm KTP wavelength which is absorbed by superficial microvasculature and melanin.
We generally recommend between 1-3 treatments for broken capillaries, however this may differ from person to person depending on health conditions, medication, lifestyle factors and hereditary factors.
Some broken capillaries will show an instant clearance, others may darken or constrict over 1-10 days depending on the original size and colouring of the capillary.
