Facial capillaries (VeinGogh Treatment)

Broken capillaries, also known as telangiectasia, are tiny visible blood vessels that sit close to the skin’s surface and often appear as fine red, purple, or thread-like lines. They commonly develop due to sun exposure, genetics, rosacea, ageing, or frequent temperature changes. While medically harmless, they can make the skin look persistently red and may affect comfort and confidence.

At Hawthorn Medical and Wellness Hub, we offer personalised assessment and treatment for facial redness and visible capillaries. An initial consultation with Dr Marina is essential to confirm the diagnosis and create a treatment plan tailored to your skin and concerns.

Depending on the type and extent of the redness, we may recommend IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or VeinGogh treatment. IPL can be especially effective for more general or widespread facial redness, while VeinGogh is ideal for targeting individual enlarged vessels with precision.

VeinGogh is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of unwanted fine veins quickly and effectively. Using a very fine probe, the device delivers a controlled pulse of heat to the targeted vessel, causing it to coagulate and disappear. The results is a clear skin with no spider-web veins with minimal disruption to your day.

Benefits of VeinGogh:

  • Minimally invasive: No surgery and little disruption to the surrounding skin.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities straight after treatment. Mild redness or swelling can occur for a short time afterwards. Application of a healing cream is essential.
  • Precise and effective: VeinGogh targets small superficial vessels such as spider veins, cherry angiomas, and other visible capillaries. In most cases, only one treatment is needed.
  • Quick treatment sessions: Appointments are typically short, often taking around 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area being treated.
  • Comfortable treatment experience: No anaesthesia is typically required, and most patients describe only minimal discomfort during the procedure.

If visible capillaries, spider veins, or small red blemishes are affecting the way you feel about your skin, VeinGogh may offer a fast and effective solution. Book a consultation with Dr Marina to explore the most suitable treatment options and take the next step towards calmer, clearer-looking skin.
