Prominent Capillaries can be a sign of varicose veins. Excessive varicose formation may cause coagulation disorder. The disease is divided into two groups. One of them is venous dilatation, while the other is capillary dilation. It can be seen in all veins. However, it is often seen in the legs. The main reason for this is the transfer of pressure and weight directly to the veins in the legs. In addition to creating an aesthetic disfigurement, it can cause adverse effects such as itching, bleeding, cramps, pain, and skin discoloration unless treated. Extremely prominent capillary formations may be more aesthetically disturbing. Therefore, the appearance of these veins can be alleviated with laser treatments.

What is Capillary?

Prominent Capillaries appear on the skin surface due to the enlargement of the diameter of the thin vessels. Such veins can be seen all over the body. They are most common in the legs and face. Capillary vessel cracks, which are quite common, can also occur due to environmental factors. Long-term use of birth control pills, excessive sun exposure, long-term use of cortisone creams, internal diseases in the individual, genetic factors as well as hormone treatments and in some cases due to aging can cause stretch marks. Due to its structural features, capillary cracking, which is more common in women, may increase with lifestyles such as standing, increased temperature, and prolonged sitting with drooping legs. In this case, occupation is a very influential factor. If these veins become prominent on the face, they may become evident due to the use of sun-induced, wrong cleaning products, acne scars, dermatitis, dry and sensitive skin characteristics.

Which Lasers Are Used in the Treatment of Distinctive Capillaries?

QS ND YAG or ND YAG laser devices can be used when treatment is preferred for prominent capillaries. With laser methods, the substance called oxyhemoglobin in the capillaries is affected. This heated substance coagulates. This causes damage to the vessel wall. Damaged capillaries begin to disappear over time. As the vein expands, the amount of blood in it increases. For this reason, thin veins can be treated more easily and in a short time. In laser applications, laser is applied along the vein line. There is a temporary disappearance and discoloration of the veins. Average capillary laser treatment is completed in 4 to 6 sessions.
