Facial Veins

In many cases, general rosacea can be accompanied by the appearance of spider veins (or facial veins). Known by the medical term telangiectasia, these broken capillaries can appear anywhere on your face. While generally considered harmless, many patients choose to address them for cosmetic reasons. They develop due to a venous deficiency and have been linked to high blood pressure and obesity. This deficiency can also be caused by non-medical factors, such as excessive sun exposure and rubbing or washing your face too hard. They can become more prominent as you get older.

Treatment options

Capillus RX 312

Capillus laser therapy devices use red-light therapy clinically proven to promote hair growth. Capillus' independently reviewed, double-blind clinical trial showed an increase in hair thickness when using Capillus, compared to a placebo device. Of those that observed hair regrowth, there were also no reports of adverse effects during their participation. The trial concluded that Capillus' laser technology is safe for use and effective at helping stimulate hair growth for treating androgenic alopecia. *only available at Physician offices
