Redness
Visible blood vessels, including broken capillaries, facial spider veins, and cherry angiomas, can develop when blood vessels remain visible near the surface of the skin. These concerns are often influenced by genetics, sun exposure, temperature changes, and skin sensitivity. At Pura Vida, we take a careful approach to vascular concerns, selecting targeted treatments based on the type of vessel and your individual skin needs.
Understanding Vascular Concerns
Vascularity refers to enlarged or visible blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. These vessels can become more noticeable over time due to sun exposure, aging, and genetic factors. While generally harmless, visible vessels can contribute to persistent redness and uneven skin appearance.
These concerns do not typically improve with skincare alone and often require targeted treatments designed to address visible vessels safely and precisely.
OUR APPROACH
We evaluate texture concerns based on depth, sensitivity, and skin behavior rather than relying on aggressive resurfacing.
Treatment plans are developed to:
-
Encourage healthy cell turnover
-
Smooth uneven areas
-
Refine pores
-
Support long-term skin function
The goal is visible improvement without compromising the skin barrier.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Not sure where to start?
If you’re unsure which treatment is right for your skin, we recommend starting with an advanced skin analysis and consultation.
Using advanced imaging technology, we assess what’s happening both on the surface of your skin and below it. This allows us to evaluate hydration, texture, tone, elasticity, congestion patterns, pigment, and early changes that aren’t visible in regular lighting.
During your visit, you’ll review your images and results directly with your licenced provider, so you understand what your skin is doing now, how it’s changing, and where its strengths and areas of concern are showing up.
This information becomes a useful reference point. You can use it to guide your home skincare routine, track progress over time, or decide whether in-office treatments make sense for your goals.
