At Glo Skin & Medspa in Edmonton, we offer expert solutions for broken capillaries, a common skin issue where small blood vessels become visible on the skin’s surface, often caused by sun damage, aging, or rosacea. Those with fair or sensitive skin are especially prone to this condition. Our IPL Photorejuvenation treatment is a safe, non-invasive option that uses pulses of light to target and break down the capillaries, reducing redness and improving skin tone. The treatment also stimulates collagen production for enhanced skin texture. With minimal discomfort and downtime, IPL is customized to your skin's needs, helping you achieve a clearer, more radiant complexion. Consult with our Edmonton specialists to learn how IPL can work for you.
Broken capillaries, also known as "spider veins," are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the skin's surface, often resulting in red, web-like patterns. While they can appear anywhere on the body, they are most commonly found on the face, particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin.
