What Are Broken Capillaries and Why Do They Appear?
Broken capillaries, also called telangiectasia, are small visible blood vessels that appear near the skin’s surface—often on the nose, cheeks, or chin. They’re caused by sun exposure, aging, genetics, or even trauma to the skin. IPL uses light energy to collapse these vessels safely and effectively without harming surrounding tissue.
