Guide To Treating Broken Blood Vessels On The Face

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure that can eliminate both broken blood vessels on the face as well as varicose veins. When an individual undergoes sclerotherapy, a solution is injected directly into their vein. This solution irritates the lining of the burst or bulging blood vessel. From there, the irritation makes the blood vessel collapse into itself and for the lining to stick together. The blood inside clots, and the vessel is no longer used to pump blood through the body. As time goes on, the blood vessel morphs into scar tissue, and this tissue fades out of sight. Sclerotherapy is one of the oldest modern medical procedures still practiced today, with successful cases ranging back to the 1930s. Before undergoing a sclerotherapy procedure, patients will need to consult a vascular medicine specialist or dermatologist to determine if they are a good candidate. Pregnant women are not eligible, and some individuals who have had prior blood clots might not be eligible, though it varies on a case-by-case basis.
