How to get rid of broken capillaries on the face| Dr Dray

[@aprilcooke8340]

Joy v only to find out, nothing you can do yourself. A cosmetic procedure with a vascular laser.

[@reneekerner9326]

Gosh, thank you. Like get to it already!

[@joyv4865]

what ever procedures you undergo the blood vessels resurface after a short while

[@ellieelizabeth5627]

April Cooke I had IPL (intense pulsed light) done quite a few times. I had numbing cream put on but I'm not going to lie, it hurt like hell and I have a high pain threshold. It worked fine and got rid of those ugly capillaries but unfortunately I need it done again at certain spots. I keep putting it off because right now I can't afford it. It's an expensive procedure but then again, all procedures are. Lol.

[@doreen1585]

Thank you!!

[@shadowj1705]

Honestly, when it comes to skin care, I go to this lady. Not only her videos are on point and very informative as a specialist and a real doctor, but also the variety of topics she talks about prove that the woman know her field and is aware of people’ concerns and provide so much time to tackle them... Sincerly, props to you Dr. Dray.

[@Hallah22]

I appreciate that dr dray takes her time to teach us the stuff she knows as a doctor.

[@sharroon7574]

I would love for you to do a myth buster video. It would be good to know what to leave out and what is needed. I am thinking bogus spa treatments and home treatments such as all those rough scrubs.

[@DrDrayzday]

[@jackiedye6980]

Thx my rosacea appeared after Breast cancer treatment (estrogen and progestin fed) lumpectomy, 6 rounds strong chemo and radiation at age 60. This followed by estrogen-surpressing meds, Arimedex for 2 years (terrible for me) and since thenAromasin, so much better. You gave me the best info I’ve had on what to do about the broken capillaries and should I consider derma rollering......no. Will definitely subscribe !!!

[@lamontcranston3177]

You offered no solution for 14 minutes. Then you tell us to go to a surgeon. Terrific. Thanks.

[@kristithompson1755]

The first treatment she suggested was a laser treatment. The V-Beam. No need for a surgeon.

[@maryastark1744]

Thank you Dr. Dray for yet another incredibly educational presentation. I have these on the back of both hands and also in the palms. My dermatologist stated that they were superficial capillaries. He reassured me that they were not malignant, which was my main concern. The consult passed so quick that I was unable to think of any questions. You covered everything. You have no idea how much you are appreciated and respected. I am not the only one to feel this way. I will soon turn 65 and only recently finally found several channels in my age range. One in particular is very well established. I noticed the owner of that channel posting in the comments. Your subs are increasing daily, CONGRATULATIONS. Huge hugs and much love to you and your lovely mother. Hope the sun is shinning in Houston. Xoxoxo !!!

Anne Marie D'Arcy Yes, I’ve had it done. I have rosacea, is why I had them. I hate them. My derm told me it can come from nerves,( stress ) and sun🌞 ! I can’t be out in the sun and heat at all!

[@valeriebumblebee7607]

I had it done just 2 hours ago. Don't have that many, but it inly takes 15 minutes. Now I use 50+ sun screen and since then it takes sooo much longer until I need to go again (approx every 2-3 years). It is a little painful to some, but nothing too bad. I am in Europe, but it cost me 100 EUR. And they are gone immediately! It's amazing!!

Great video. I get these on my face (and legs too). I would absolutely love more videos on rosacea!!!! I went to a dermatologist recently, asked her about drugs for rosacea, and she didn't mention three drugs you've mentioned in your videos! I don't seem to be triggered by hot beverages or workouts -- but spicy foods and fragrance in the environment are HUGE. I'm reactive to chemical sunscreens, Vit. C, cyclopentosiloxane and castor oil as well. Those are the triggers I avoid.

[@trishemerald2487]

I have had multiple IPLs through the years, and the newest version of the v-beam once... all to no avail. I have never been able to totally get rid of them, and the slight improvement of any procedure is very short-lived. I've just learned to accept them. (At least now I know how to pronounce "telangiectasia.")

[@masonknopf6879]

Thanks for your explanations! I have rosacea and I had the laser treatment around my nose and it worked perfect the first time, the treatment cost $100 here in GA. They did start to come back about 6 mos later. Just wanted to share my laser experience if others were wondering. It's didn't hurt and there was no down time. I have very sensitive skin so I was worried about pain and swelling or additional redness, but none.

[@curlaque]

I so appreciate the information you share with all of us subscribers. Your sweet face has become such a pleasure for me! I live in an area that has few dermatologists and there is no way to get an appointment unless you are referred by a doctor for skin cancer. Years ago my son had a very bad reaction to something and ended up in the hospital with a swollen face, ears, eyes swollen shut...it was terrible. When we left the emergency room they told me he should see a dermatologist the next day and if not to bring him back to the ER to be checked. I called the dermatologist my oldest son saw for cystic acne and he could not see him. I called 13 doctors and all said no. Finally my last one in the phone book, a woman, said bring him right down! I cried I was so relieved. It turned out he had a reaction to a defoliant the town sprayed under the power lines. My son had gone over a friends house and they were playing catch and the ball would go into the bushes and they think that is how he got the chemical on his hands then wiped his face of sweat thus spreading the chemical all over his face. She was amazing, she even gave my son (15 years old) her home number in case he had issues in the night! She doubled his medications they gave him and in a couple weeks he was back to normal. That was twenty five years ago now and I am still so thankful to her for what she did. Anyway a dermatologist is impossible to see for simple questions or just a skin care issue like broken capillaries. Then I found you!! You and your mom are so sweet. I have no idea how you have time to work and do these videos but I want you to know I love all of them. Between your sweet personality and your professional expertise and advice I feel blessed to get this all for free. I am 71 years old but still care about my skin and my appearance and you my dear are a wealth of wonderful advice! Thank you so so much for all your videos, I love them!

Great video Dr. D. You do a wonderful job of explaining things in layman terms! I had major telangiectiasias on my checks due to growing up in Texas in the 70s/80s and sun "bathing" (omg) with no sun protection :( I've had 4/5 V-Beams over the last couple of years and they have helped my skin so, so much. I currently get one every 6 months, or so, to keep them at bay. My Darmouth-Hitchcock derm does the procedure and a V-Beam rep sits in an office outside to check/adjust the machine after every appointment throughout her cosmetic-procedure day. While I adore my derm I learn so much more from you for the time you graciously spend education all of us. Thank you! Last night I was "reminding" (aka telling ;) my husband to do something skincare wise, and he called me "a Dr. Dray's protege!" I told him he could call me his Dr. J! :) lol.

[@DrDrayzday]

sunscreen the hubs up!

[@lindamills9119]

after watching this video, I am considering a V-beam laser tx. Is it painful?

[@jr-pr9lw]

Everyone reacts differently, but yes, I found it very painful. It also took me a full 5-6 days for swelling to go down (I puffed up like a blowfish:) after my initial treatment. For me it was all worth the temporary pain and down time which is why I continue to get V-beams! They have made an amazing impact in the appearance of my skin. fyi- The pain has decreased with each treatment and the downtime is now minimal (a day/2 .)

[@dapperdoggy]

Sherrie561.....Hi Sherri, The consealer I use now is: FIT me!...#20 Sand Sable by Maybelline New York. I tried other brands but this has worked very well for my broken capillaries, dark circles & 2 sun spots. The other's I tried were more high-end and more expensive but I switched my foundation & consealer from Estee Lauder to Maybelline FIT me # 120 foundation and loved it and the consealer named above and thought why pay these higher prices when Maybelline foundation & consealer works great and is less expensive. Hope this helps. ~Joanna♡

Any update

[@thobbs4526]

PSA for those who have these, I had some really ugly ones under the nostrils and along the labial folds (outside of nose to outer corners of mouth), and also had brown spots. Both, I was told, were due to sun damage (SoCal native). I went to a dermatologist, paid about $400 for one “V-beam” treatment (I think it was also called an IPL treatment). I was told I would need 4 or 5 treatments, and that it might not work on the blood vessels. That was too much money for me. It’s been 10 years, the ugly broken blood vessels never came back. SOME of the brown spots returned, only lighter. I did learn my lesson and now take care of my skin, including sunscreen. Hope this helps if you’re considering doing it. Feel free to ask me questions.

[@mirafarah2366]

So you just had one treatment of vbeam and it worked for you?

[@thobbs4526]

Yes, I had one visit, and a couple of brown spots returned, but lighter, and no broken capillaries. That was 10 years ago.

[@DrDrayzday]

so happy to hear this!

[@mirafarah2366]

How was it? Did you get them removed?

[@ivonnestephany2009]

​@@mirafarah2366 yes, i did. I had the app with the dermatologist (copay $35), then I had IPL with a nurse practioner. She removed about 5 smallish broken capillaries and also targeted 2 sun spots. It felt like a rubber band hitting the skin. The areas targeted got dark and formed a scab (they said not to pick at it, let it fall by itself). Cost of the procedure was $90 (state Kentucky). 2 years later, I can see the capillaries did not return and were permanently removed. The two sunspots are lighter but are not gone completely (even though I am diligent with sun protection). I am very happy I had this done. Best of luck if you are considering the same.

Hyfrecation or electro dessication is the cheapest and most elegant way to remove capillaries and other skin irregularities. Names of devices include Thermoclear, Lam Probe, skin Classic and others. Many estheticians get trained in this and offer it to their clients. Easy and inexpensive, healing easier than with lasers, which tend to use too much power for this tiny target.

[@Fee_V]

I get my local beautician to use the Electrolysis Machine. It kinda hurts in some areas and you wouldn’t want to do the whole face but works great for the odd spider vein and for around the nose area. I found the results last depending on how thorough the beautician is and how high the machine is turned up. Last had mine done 4yrs ago and still none have return...which they will. It’s just one of those on going things, especially as you get older. However, this is a super CHEAP alternative to laser treatment.

How much are these treatments in US?

[@francescareese7118]

The RX topicals for flushing/rosacea have such a bad rebound when they wear off and take at least an hour to work. I feel from my experience in derm it's like most that complain about it has lead me to believe, "nope, no more samples you can't put a bandaid on a gunshot wound". I think the V Beam, Exel V or the IPL with the 560 filter for Rosacea is a nice way to help with reds (more IPL with 560) and or telang! Like you mentioned most all of this! Great video....

[@jjmomable]

Dr Dray, I absolutely love watching your videos! I have learned so much in just one week and my skin is already looking better from your recommendations.

You are so charming! Thank you for this video 5 years ago when I was 20 I started to notice a lot of skin changes. I went from dry skin to super oily and my pores on my cheeks became visibly noticeable, but the thing that bothers me the most is the broken capillaries on the apple of my cheeks. They itch and are not aesthetically pleasing. I don’t wear face makeup and never really have. I did use to tan a lot indoors and so that probably did a number on my skin. Anyways sorry for the novel, I am happy I came upon your channel. 😊

[@mirafarah2366]

What did you do to the broken capillaries? Did you get them removed or are you accepting them?

[@vee2841]

Can't.stop.watching! Dr. Dray I have eczema / Atopic dermatitis, what do I use if I get a facial rash to avoid putting cortisone on my face?

[@RandomVideoCircus]

It's crazy to think how common this is. I mean a lot of people have these. Can't believe humans are built like this where this occurs so often. Great Video!!!

[@carriep2370]

Love your analogy of the tree branch and blood vessel😉

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks :) Hope you are having a good night Ms Carrie

Another excellent video Andrea! My 31 years old daughter had a couple of capillaries treated with a laser by our dermatologist and it worked great. They haven't come back and her skin looks very nice. For my mature skin, I'd have to have so many spots treated I just use a really good cosmetic concealer and call it a day. lol Oh if I could only go back and wear sunscreen...but better late than never. Texas is a great place to live, sunny skies, but after years of sun damage, now sunscreen is my best friend. :) xo xo

[@DrDrayzday]

Even the sun is bigger in TX, lol

[@Mary-uc9vn]

I also rely on sunscreen for brown spots and wondered what sunscreen you may have found to be better.

[@sharonwilson1328]

Hi Dr Dray, love your channel, I’ve recently purchased the Hada Labo cleansing oil, I have rosacea and goodness it’s helped smooth and calm the skin so much I didn’t expect it to! I’ve also used it with Klairs blue calming cream and their toner for redness I turned to Korean and Japanese skincare more after your videos so thank you so much they have been the best products that have helped, I’m in the UK so we can’t get the many drugstore things you have mentioned but I am very with Hada Labo -thank you for all your hard work you put in to helping us with our skincare concerns you’re wonderful - love to you and your mom 💕💕

[@DrDrayzday]

Rosacea is a tricky thing to deal with for sure.

[@lovebythemoon5230]

Thank you so very much!! Mine are quite prominent and have really affected my self-esteem, especially now being 49 and the changes that come with menopause/post-menopause. You're so beautiful and so incredibly intelligent. You go in depth and I really love watching you! Thank you for taking your time to educate us . You're amazing!!!! Hugs!!!

Extreme hot water overtime I.e. a hot shower will compromise them as well. The hottest part of the water is at the shower head and consequently our face is right at that hot water. Washing our face and hair in cooler water rather than boiling hot, so to speak, will help to cool those blood vessels down as well. It’s an over time thing. Then ending the shower with hot water on our body just for enjoyment of a hot shower will be okay because it’s not the steam more so the hot water flow that will damage the skin on our face. You’re human and love the hot water so don’t deprive yourself that enjoyment, Just routine shifts is all :).

[@lemonpie227]

I love you, you really take time in explaining things! I wish I had you as my doctor. PS: you're glowing !

[@DrDrayzday]

Happy Saturday :)

[@hannahstanden9670]

Usually someone has already asked the questions I have-thanks Dr Dray and fans!

[@Peaches_H_Nyce]

I spent my 20's abusing my face with sun and harsh exfoliating face wash. Now, I spend a lot of money on serums, essences, and chemical peels!!! I work out a lot, drink to much coffee and my mom has Rosacea, but what brought me here is my left cheek which looks bruised, I hate it. Plus I am starting to see the collagen break down around my mouth and chin, omg aging is awful.

[@heiroot]

We all did. None of us knew any different.

[@kalicatt9000]

You are such a great teacher. I have been helped with several problems by your great information. Thanks so much for your help. Hardly a day goes by that I don't watch you!!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@1alexisthedog]

Such a great video!! I look forward to all of your q and a’s. They are always so informative.

Dr. Dray 💌you are a godsend to KZbin, easily accessible, personable and full of great goodness. ❤️💕💕❤️Thank you so much.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thank you so much Ms Anita :) I hope you are having a nice weekend

[@HollyL56]

This was very good and informative. Thank you❤

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks!

[@leemccray3908]

There's alot more info on this subject that she didnt address in this video regarding Mirvaso. Please see your Dermatologist In Person before you make any final decisions about this product. There are alot of facts & benefits that are not addressed in this video. I further explain myself if u want to read my comment directly to Dr Dray in the thread under this video.

[@pollysshore2539]

I do realize this video is a year old but good info. I am in the seasonal pollen/grass/tree allergy bracket, have sensitive skin and though I’ve not been diagnosed I’m petty sure I have mild rosacea. I definitely fall into the category of sensitive skin that flushes fairly easy with temperature change. I went to an event at a local spa and was very impressed with the esthetician who was discussing budget skincare & items that can be used from your pantry. She is from Russia and came to talk to me right after the event. She had noticed every mild flush of my face when the heat kicked on and pegged some common problems I have rather quickly. She was also kind enough to bluntly say she had heard the girls working the desk urging me to get a facial on more than one occasion, and she didn’t think I needed one. I have truly broken capillaries on the side of my nose from crashing into my brother and his skateboard while riding my big wheel as a child. Any visible capillaries since have been from irritation and inflammation. I bought what I thought was a mild, low % peel said to stimulate blood flow that set my face on fire and resulted in some visible capillaries on the cheeks. I have some under and around my nose due to seasonal allergies and inflammation from a few bad flu’s over the last 43, almost 44 years. I’m still trying to reduce redness on the sides of my face from a reaction to a AHA/BHA serum that I stupidly didn’t patch test first and applied incorrectly. I expect to find a few more after that goes down. I mess up here & there but try to be careful for the most part but you never know. When I hit 36 my face had a major freak out and started rejecting and horribly reacting to every face product I had used for years. It can happen at any time

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for watching & sharing

[@charlottemann3352]

Thanks for the great info. Could you share your thoughts on causes and treatment of leg spider veins?

[@AWanderingEye]

It is worth getting evaluated, not by dermatologist but vasular specialist. Can be treated simarly with laser. Generally blood flow working against gravity and after many years not doing so good a job. Constipation exacerbates. Lack of exercise, standing for long periods, overweight all contributing factors, even height is factor (tall people have further for blood to return to heart). If having edema for sure get checked, compression stockings while recommended mask true issue.

[@moonsetful]

Terrible hay fever and I have a big one on my nose and a few on my cheeks. My mother had them too. Yes. I noticed using topical skin creams daily was causing blotchiness. I use the AHA with copper in it? My daughter works in a "Lather" store and brought me samples. I use it every other day and it's been amazing.

[@avidscrapper1]

Dr Dray, love all your videos, they are always so informative. Could you do one on caring for hands and cuticles? Thanks

[@melissab2339]

Another extremely helpful video. I love the way you explain how laser treats broken capillaries. You're quite eloquent. You look ethereal in your profile pic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thank you so much!

[@hpgla]

Love you dray!!!. My skin looks 40% better thanks to you. 😀

[@DrDrayzday]

glad to hear :)

[@mirafarah2366]

Wow did you get them removed? Did they come back?

[@Nenezilla]

Had the laser, hurt like heck since the nostril is extremely sensitive, and a few years later it came back! So don't expect long term results.

[@mikichamSA4J]

My dermatologist said my broken capillaries on my cheeks (I mean both cheeks solid red w/ them) is from rosacea but I've never had any of the bumps associated w/ rosacea. She recommended laser which insurance doesn't cover at around 1,800 dollars (what's poor folks supposed to do?) plus it is not available in the dermatologist office but only at a cosmetic laser place in the town. I don't want someone without a medical degree pointing a laser at my face. I know that the areas do sting. I don't think it's rosacea, I think I had too many sunburns on my poor fair skin before people knew to tell us to always wear sunscreen. Wear sunscreen people!

[@DrDrayzday]

not all rosacea has the bumps

[@MascaratoMidnight]

I would check around with other derms and get a better price. I was paying about $200 per session overseas so I would think it would be cheaper here. I didnt have the bumps all over my face. If you are curious I have a video on my rosacea where I talk about some things that tipped me off and helped me figure out what was going on with my face.

[@mikichamSA4J]

Thank you so much!! I will check it out!

[@happycrickets1901]

Miki Cham I did mine at a medical spa instead of at the Derm. It was about 200 a session and I had great results. I did 6 total but I was satisfied after 3. Now I just do spot treatments about every year or so.

[@mikichamSA4J]

Thank you so much for the info. Maybe I need to see if I can find a cheaper facility. I understand it's cosmetic and insurance doesn't cover it but it makes me absolutely miserable. If I don't cover up completely w/ heavy duty foundation it never fails someone will ask what's wrong w/ my face or if I got hit in the face with something.

[@Snshine257]

You are absolutely right Dr. Dray. When I used Mirvaso for Rosacea, it did take the redness away but only to return 6 hours later and my face was very flushed. Needless to say, I stopped using it. Like you said, I find that laser treatments work well. On a stubborn capillary under my nose, it took a couple of times to completely get rid of it, but as of yet, it has not returned and it's been about a year. I didn't go crazy with the laser treatments. I went twice one year and now seem to want a follow up treatment yearly. I also think that once you start going to the same doctor, they are willing to give you a little more treatment for less of a price. That has been my experience anyway. Thank you for all the great information. You are very thorough.

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah it isn't great in that regard. Hope you are having a nice weekend Ms Debbie

[@savagegal273]

I wonder if i can get an ipl treatment.. the broken capillaries on my face rlly bother me a lot. I'm 16 tho

[@qrearupa]

Finally found this video! I had my blood vessels around my cheeks since i could remember my face in the mirror (since i was a little kid 😔) Well actually since birth, my mum said.

[@Bebbis77]

Thank you for this video. I was curious about this situation. I've accepted my red face issues. I hope you have a great weekend Andrea.

[@DrDrayzday]

happy friday Ms Angie

[@junejuly5288]

Thanks for your advises! I went to see a dermatologist for my rosacea. She tried a few corticosteroid creams that can't be taking for more than a week, and then told me that there was nothing else to treat rosacea. Never gave me these advises at all.

[@kooltom4]

OMG it's just been confirmed by the doctor!! I am turning into a potato!

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@n2wishnn552]

It just BLOWS my mind how the heck 206 people can give a video like this a thumbs down!? I mean, whyyy? This lady is just trying to give us her expertise in hopes that it may help some people. What in the world is there to dislike about that! Sorry, but it just flew all over me when I saw that!
