How Can I Treat Broken Capillaries?Updated 11 hours ago
Broken capillaries (also called telangiectasia) are those tiny red or purple lines that often show up on the cheeks, nose, or chin, especially as we age. As our skin naturally thins over time, these delicate blood vessels become more visible and prone to damage. Factors like sun exposure, harsh weather, hot showers, and even rubbing the skin can make them worse.
Here’s how to treat and prevent them:
Step 1: Strengthen and Protect Your Skin
Boost collagen with a gentle retinol like iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3%. It helps rebuild the skin’s thickness, making capillaries less visible over time.
Support fat pads and skin resilience with plumping products like HOP+ Caviplla Premier Caviar & O2 Multi Serum and HOP+ PLLA Promoter Repair Eye Cream, which contain powerful peptides and Volufiline.
Apply SPF daily to prevent UV damage that weakens skin and worsens broken capillaries.
Step 2: Calm and Soothe
Use calming, anti-inflammatory products to reduce redness and support healing.
A favorite is Colorescience Total Eye Concentrate Serum with Adavine 5x. It helps improve capillary health and visibly reduces redness, not just around the eyes, but anywhere you see broken capillaries (we love it around the nose).
Treating broken capillaries starts with building stronger, healthier skin. Use collagen-boosting serums, plumping and soothing products, and never skip your sunscreen. With consistent care, you can reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and keep your skin looking calm and radiant.
