Back to: Removal of capillaries
Dilated capillaries are a common aesthetic irregularity that occurs on the face, legs and other parts of the body. Although they are not a health problem, many see them as an aesthetic nuisance and want to remove them. Fortunately, today's treatments are safe, effective and fast, and results are noticeable after just a few sessions. If you also want to get rid of capillaries, on this page you can find a list of clinics in Belgrade that also provide this service.
What are dilated capillaries?
Dilated capillaries are small blood vessels located near the surface of the skin and are often visible as red, blue or purple lines or networks. They can occur due to a variety of factors, including genetics, aging, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or sun exposure. Dilated capillaries are more common in people with lighter skin and usually appear on the face (especially the nose and cheeks), legs and décolletage.
How are dilated capillaries removed?
Dilated capillaries can be removed in several ways:
• Laser treatment: Laser technology targets the capillaries, heating them and destroying them, without damaging the surrounding tissue. This treatment is effective, and the results are already visible after 2-4 sessions.
• IPL treatment (intense pulsed light): IPL is another popular treatment that uses light energy to remove capillaries. The treatment is similar to laser treatment, but it affects a larger area of the skin.
• Sclerotherapy: This method is used mainly for capillaries on the legs. A special liquid is injected which causes the capillaries to shrink and close, making them invisible.
Can capillaries re-appear?
Although treatments permanently remove pre-existing capillaries, new capillaries can appear due to genetics, aging, hormonal changes or excessive sun exposure. Regular use of a cream with a protective factor and avoiding extreme temperatures can help prevent the formation of new capillaries. Proper skin care and maintaining a healthy diet can also contribute to long-term results. Capillary removal is a safe and effective way to restore an even and healthy skin appearance.
