Burst capillaries are actually capillaries that have dilated, causing red spots on your face. They are most common in people with light, thin, or sensitive skin. Laser therapy and IPL therapy are the most effective techniques for getting rid of broken capillaries; one treatment is usually enough to permanently remove the capillaries. Natural remedies and precautions can also help keep your skin free of broken capillaries.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Undergo laser therapy

1. Consult with a dermatologist about the different treatment methods. Laser treatment uses a concentrated beam of energy to heat the capillaries under the skin, each individually engaged and removed. IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy works similarly, but it covers a larger area. Your dermatologist can help you decide which treatment (or a combination of both) is most effective for you.
   • If you have an appointment with the dermatologist, ask a lot of questions. Make sure that he / she has performed this procedure with satisfactory results before.
   • It's best to go to a dermatologist who has recommended it to you. Make sure you can trust him / her to choose the best procedure for you.
2. Prepare your skin for the treatment. Do not undergo this treatment if your skin is tanned or irritated; laser and IPL targets the pigment in the capillaries and brown spots, and if your skin is brown, the laser doesn't "see" the spots it is supposed to treat. So make sure your skin is as light as possible and follow your dermatologist's other instructions before going to the appointment.
3. Be aware of possible side effects. Both laser and IPL therapy can make the skin a little red or swollen for a few days after the treatment. Make the appointment several weeks before you have an important day so that your skin can return to normal.
   • In rare cases, laser or IPL therapy can lead to skin damage and hyperpigmentation. This is more common in dark-skinned people than in fair-skinned people. Be sure to discuss any possible side effects with your dermatologist before proceeding with treatment.
4. Stay out of the sun after the treatment. Your skin needs to recover from the treatment, so stay out of the sun for a few days. Follow the instructions the dermatologist gives you for the after-treatment carefully so that your skin can heal properly.
5. See if you see any more broken capillaries. Sometimes you need more than one treatment to get rid of all burst capillaries. The capillaries removed by the laser will never come back, but if you are prone to burst capillaries, several treatments may be needed to get rid of them all.

Method 2 of 3: Natural solutions

1. Take vitamin C and lysine supplements. There is no conclusive evidence that vitamin C and lysine can repair broken capillaries, but some say they suffer less from taking these supplements daily. Before taking any supplements, you should check with your doctor to make sure this is a healthy choice for you.
2. Spread grape seed oil on your face. This is a home remedy that could reduce broken capillaries. You probably won't get rid of it completely, but it will soften dry, thin skin and can reduce broken capillaries over time.
3. Apply vitamin E oil to your face. Vitamin E nourishes the skin. It helps skin repair itself, which can reduce broken capillaries and other signs of damage. Apply vitamin E oil, or any product containing it, to your face to reduce the appearance of broken capillaries.
   • Vitamin E oil targets dry skin, so even if the broken capillaries don't disappear, it can keep you from getting more.
   • Apply it to your skin at night as the substance is too thick and greasy to have on your face all day long.
4. Hydrate your skin with aloe vera. Aloe vera naturally soothes sunburn, but it also helps against other skin ailments. If you've been out in the sun, put some aloe vera on your face to moisturize your skin and help repair the damage the sun has caused.
5. Try a horse chestnut cream. This substance is good for blood circulation and improves the health of the veins. Using a cream that contains it will moisturize your face and improve blood flow, which will reduce chapped capillaries. There is no conclusive evidence that it works, but many people report that they get good results using these creams.

Method 3 of 3: Prevent burst capillaries

1. Protect your skin from sun damage. If you have light, thin, or aging skin, it can be easily damaged by the sun. When your skin is weak, the capillaries dilate more quickly so you can see them through your skin. Always put on sunscreen when you go outside. When the sun is very strong, wear a hat or sunglasses for extra protection.
   • The sun's UV rays can also damage your skin in winter, not just summer. So always put on sunscreen.
   • Also watch out for a biting wind. Put a scarf on your face when you know the wind is blowing hard.
2. Drink less alcohol. Many people report that they get more broken capillaries from the use of alcohol. Alcohol makes the skin red and slightly swollen, which can damage it more quickly. Do not drink too much alcohol, and have a glass of water in between when you do drink, to prevent broken capillaries. The skin is particularly irritated by red wine.
3. Avoid extreme temperatures. The circulatory system reacts quickly to temperature changes. The capillaries contract and expand depending on the temperature, and extreme temperatures can cause the capillaries to burst. If you are exposed to extreme heat or cold, protect your face from direct contact with freezing or hot air.
   • Keep the thermostat at the same temperature at home so that it does not fluctuate too much.
   • When washing your face, use lukewarm water instead of very hot or cold water.

Warnings

• Always consult your doctor before using any of these methods.
