Facial Capillaries

Intense pulsed light treats unwanted facial capillaries and rejuvenates skin health.

Surface facial capillaries are red spidery spots that occur when tiny vessels in the skin are damaged by the sun and other factors, causing them to be permanently dilated and visible.

What causes facial capillaries?

  • strong genetic factors in the appearance of surface capillaries: occur more often in individuals with fair skin, blonde or red hair and blue green eyes
  • alcohol, spicy foods and caffeine can dilate the capillaries but do not really cause them
  • free radical damage from sun exposure is the most prevalent cause of surface facial capillaries.

    • Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments counter the ravages of sun damage.

    Not only does IPL treatments fade or get rid of facial capillaries but also stimulates collagen production to produce a more youthful quality and texture to the skin.

    Anti Wrinkle Injections

    Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used to remove wrinkles in the upper half of the face. Wrinkles that are suitable to be removed with anti wrinkle injections include eye wrinkles, forehead lines and frown lines that develope between the eyebrows.

    How do anti wrinkle injections work?

    The treatments work by relaxing wrinkle causing muscles, once relaxed the skin on the surface smooths to create a softer, younger and more refreshed appearance.

  • when the muscles that cause frowning are relaxed they make the vertical frown line between the eyes reduce or disappear
  • when used around the eyes they prevent the appearance of eye wrinkles or crows feet
  • when used in the forehead they smooth forehead lines to create a beautifully smooth brow

    • Anti wrinkle injections do not include dermal fillers which are used to remove lines and folds. Anti wrinkle injections are used to remove wrinkles caused from movement or wear and tear on the skin.
