Telangiectasias are abnormally enlarged blood vessels visible on the skin. Telangiectasias have many different causes and are treatable and preventable.
Telangiectasia is the dilation of existing blood vessels rather than the formation of new ones. Telangiectasia can occur spontaneously or in certain conditions such as photoaging, rosacea, connective tissue disease, liver disease, some genetic diseases and is especially common in cases of long-term use of topical corticosteroids.

Are telangiectasias dangerous?
Varicose veins do not affect health but they do affect aesthetics. In addition to telangiectasia on the face and nose, telangiectasia on the legs is also known as varicose veins of the lower extremities.
Varicose veins in the legs are the cause of some problems. Specifically, when the condition of varicose veins becomes more severe, it will cause vasculitis in the legs, causing venous obstruction, leg edema and numbness in the legs.
Dilated capillaries can cause capillary rupture, forming blood clots that cause long-term blockage, causing blood vessel blockage in the legs and also causing blood vessel blockage in other places. In particular, it can cause pulmonary and cerebral embolism due to blood clots moving from the veins. If the condition of dilated capillaries in the legs persists, it will affect the quality of health.
Laser treatment for dilated blood vessels
Pulsed color laser
It is still the most effective and safest treatment for vascular lesions. This is a laser with many years of development and treatment history, its effectiveness and safety have been proven through many studies. Pulsed color laser emits laser beams with a wavelength of 585-600nm with a pulse width of 0.45ms - 40ms, strongly absorbed by blood hemoglobin for the ability to treat vascular lesions especially high, many cases of lesions are cleared immediately after the first treatment. Pulsed color laser is especially suitable for treating facial telangiectasia lesions.
Long Pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser
With laser wavelengths in the near infrared range, although the absorption capacity of hemoglobin is reduced, this type of laser has a long wavelength, allowing deep penetration into the skin surface, while at the same time the treatment energy is large and the pulse width is long, allowing effective treatment of dilated blood vessels with deeper depth, more effective than pulsed color laser. One of the effective treatment applications of long-pulse Nd:YAG laser is the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities.
