Telangiectasia Treatment

Telangiectasia is the enlargement of thin, red or purple veins that appear on the surface of the skin. It usually appears on the face, nose and cheeks and can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetic factors, sun damage and chronic inflammation of the skin.

At Elit Klinik, laser therapy is primarily used for the treatment of telangiectasia. Laser beams target the enlarged vessels and cause them to shrink, reducing the red appearance of the skin. Other treatment methods such as sclerotherapy may also be used in some cases.

Yes, laser treatment is very safe and effective for telangiectasia. The laser technologies used at Elit Klinik are FDA approved and the treatment is performed by experienced dermatologists. Patients can usually return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.

There may be some mild discomfort during telangiectasia treatment, but this is usually very mild and of short duration. Most patients tolerate the treatment well and do not require anesthesia.

It is important to use sunscreen after treatment because the treated areas may be more sensitive to the sun. Also, using skin care products recommended by the doctor and keeping the skin moisturized promotes healing.

Treatment for telangiectasia usually offers lasting results, but in some cases the veins may enlarge again over time. Regular skin care and sun protection help to ensure long-lasting treatment results. Repeat treatments may also be needed over time.
