Broken blood vessels (also called dilated capillaries) are visibly enlarged blood vessels that appear on the face. When capillaries in the blood vessels break, they often show as clusters with red, purple or pink hues. This is similar to spider veins or varicose veins found on the legs. When a large number of capillaries are clustered together, they can appear as a red patch or a bruise that does not heal.
Laser photorejuvenation is an effective treatment for broken blood vessels. Photorejuvenation is a pulsed light treatment used to improve the appearance of broken blood vessels and other discoloration issues.
