Skip to content Do you notice fine red or bluish lines on your cheeks, nose, or chin when you look in the mirror? Relax, you’re not alone. These visible blood vessels, known as facial capillaries or spider veins, can distract from your natural complexion. However, they can be treated safely and effectively with advanced laser therapy at Laser Esthetica in Roseville, CA.
Under the medical direction of Dr. Shiree Fatch and Dr. Nalini Prasad, every treatment is performed or supervised by experienced, board-certified aesthetic physicians. Our laser center offers a proven, non-invasive way to restore clear, even-toned skin with results you can see and confidence you can feel.
Facial capillaries are small blood vessels that can break and become visible near the skin’s surface. Broken facial capillaries often appear as red, purple, or blue lines. You’ll most commonly find broken facial capillaries on the nose, cheeks, and around the eyes, where the skin is naturally thinner.
Laser treatment for facial capillaries uses focused light energy to target and collapse the affected blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin.
Laser Technologies We Use:
We use the Candela Vbeam Perfecta, a trusted pulsed dye laser (PDL) known for safely targeting vascular redness and broken capillaries with precision. The Vbeam delivers selective energy that is absorbed by red blood cells while preserving surrounding skin.
When appropriate, our physicians may also use our Sciton Joule IPL platform for diffuse redness, photodamage, and background vascularity. Nd:YAG technology may be selected for deeper vessels.
This combination allows us to customize treatment for various vessel sizes, depths, and skin types. The procedure is quick (usually 10–15 minutes) and requires minimal downtime.
You may be an excellent candidate if you are seeking:
Non-invasive removal of fine red or bluish lines on the cheeks, nose, or chin.
Treatment for underlying vessels to improve overall skin tone and clarity.
A quick, effective procedure with minimal to no downtime.
The treatment is safe and customizable for a wide range of skin types and tones.
On the day of treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and protective eye shields will be applied. A cooling gel may be used to enhance comfort. During your session, the laser handpiece delivers gentle pulses of light energy, often described as a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin.
Treatments are quick usually under 15 minutes.
Temporary redness or mild swelling is common and typically resolves within five to seven days.
Before treatment, you’ll meet with Dr. Shiree Fatch and Dr. Nalini Prasad for a detailed skin assessment and personalized treatment plan.
Laser treatment is safe, effective, and requires minimal downtime.
Minimal to no downtime, and many patients return to their normal day immediately.
Visible results often appear after the first session. Most patients achieve desired results in two to four treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart.
Maintenance sessions can help prevent recurrence as new capillaries form over time.
For best results: Avoid sun exposure, saunas, and hot showers for about a week. Sunscreen and gentle skincare are essential for maintaining results.
Pricing depends on the size and location of the area being treated and the number of sessions required (typically two to four).
Your physician will provide a comprehensive cost estimate and tailored plan during your consultation. Choosing physician-directed care ensures safety, precision, and exceptional outcomes.

Genetics, sun exposure, and conditions like rosacea are the most common causes. Heat, alcohol, and certain foods can also contribute to broken capillaries over time.
Treated vessels typically disappear and do not return. However, new broken capillaries can form due to aging or environmental factors, so periodic maintenance treatments are recommended.
Many patients notice improvement immediately, with full results appearing after two to four weeks as the body clears the treated vessels.
The sensation is brief and mild, often compared to the snap of a rubber band. Cooling measures and topical numbing can be used for added comfort.
The treatment is safe and customizable for a wide range of skin types and tones, though it works best on lighter skin tones as the laser targets color in the blood vessels.
