Broken Capillaries
Skin Care Treatment for Broken Capillaries
Gentle, targeted treatments to reduce broken capillaries.
Broken capillaries are a common concern on the nose and cheeks. Our personalised care helps calm and reduce their appearance through safe, clinical treatment.
Broken capillaries are tiny blood vessels close to the skin’s surface that have become enlarged or damaged, resulting in fine red or pink lines, often on the cheeks or around the nose. These vessels can be persistent and resistant to topical creams, but they respond well to targeted treatment.
At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we offer non-invasive solutions to help reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and restore clearer, calmer skin.
Contributing Factors:
A range of internal and external factors can contribute to broken capillaries.
Sun Exposure: UV damage can weaken blood vessel walls, making them more visible or prone to breaking.
Environmental Stress: Exposure to heat, cold, wind, or pollution can cause vessels to dilate and break.
Sensitive Skin or Rosacea: Fragile skin types are more prone to visible capillary damage.
Lifestyle Factors: Alcohol, smoking, and vigorous skin treatments can contribute to capillary fragility.
Genetics: A family history of visible facial veins may increase the likelihood of broken capillaries.
Ageing: As skin thins over time, blood vessels are more easily seen and may become more vulnerable.
Broken capillaries are often mistaken for general redness, but they are distinct, localised vessels that require focused care. During your consultation, we assess your capillaries’ cause, pattern, and severity and tailor a treatment plan to improve their appearance while maintaining skin strength and health.
Treatment Approach
Our treatment for broken capillaries focuses on gently reducing the appearance of these visible vessels using precise, light-based therapies. Laser treatments are often the most effective, supported by calming skin treatments to strengthen the barrier and reduce recurrence. Each plan is customised to your skin’s needs and sensitivity, with the goal of restoring clarity and confidence.

Here are some FAQ's about Broken Capillaries. If you have any other questions, please give us a call or request a Consultation today.
What causes broken capillaries to appear on the face?
Broken capillaries are usually caused by sun exposure, fragile skin, environmental stress, or lifestyle habits that weaken the vessel walls.
Can broken capillaries go away on their own?
No, broken capillaries do not resolve naturally. Once visible, they typically require professional treatment to reduce or remove them.
How many broken capillary treatments will I need?
The number of broken capillary treatments varies depending on the size and depth of the vessels. Some clients see results after one session, while others benefit from a short series.
Are broken capillary treatments painful?
Most broken capillary treatments are well-tolerated. Clients may feel a quick snapping or warming sensation, but discomfort is minimal.
Can broken capillaries come back after treatment?
Treated capillaries usually do not return, but new ones can form if triggers like sun exposure or skin stress persist. Ongoing care and sun protection help maintain results.
