Broken capillaries on the face often appear as small red or purple vessels around the nose, cheeks, and other areas. They may become more noticeable over time due to factors such as sun exposure and conditions like rosacea. Genetics can also influence your tendency to develop them.
Light-based treatments like BBL HERO™ can help minimize these visible vessels, especially when redness is also present.
Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine offers this service under the leadership of Dr. Faye Jamali. Located in Mill Valley, CA, the practice is known for its advanced, energy-based solutions and has been named Best Medspa in Marin County in 2019, 2021, and 2023.
How BBL HERO Helps Reduce the Appearance of Broken Capillaries
BBL HERO is a light-based option for reducing the appearance of visible facial vessels and redness. BroadBand Light delivers controlled pulses of light into the skin, where it is absorbed by red pigmentation and vascular structures.
At Belle Marin, BBL HERO is used to address concerns such as:
- Small veins and broken capillaries
- Facial redness and rosacea
- Sunspots and age spots
- Freckles and pigmentation irregularities
- Uneven skin tone
What to Expect from Treatment
During a BBL HERO appointment, the skin is first cleansed, and you’ll be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the light. A cooling gel or sapphire-tipped handpiece is then used as the device delivers rapid pulses of light across the area. Most patients describe a warm sensation with a light snapping feeling as the energy is delivered, and the session typically takes only a short time (though it varies depending on the size of the area treated).
Is BBL HERO Right for You?
BBL HERO is often a strong option for patients whose primary concern is visible facial capillaries and redness. Because it directly targets vascular redness and pigmentation, it can be particularly beneficial for broken capillaries on the face.
The best plan depends on vessel depth, size, and distribution, as well as your other skin concerns and aesthetic goals. A consultation at Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine helps determine whether BBL HERO is the most appropriate choice for you.
