VASCULARITY
Vascular Skin Treatments in Mentor, Ohio
Vascular skin concerns appear when small blood vessels become visible near the surface of the skin. This can include cherry angiomas, spider veins, and broken capillaries that create red, purple, or pink marks that do not fade on their own.
These concerns are common and typically harmless, but they can become more noticeable over time due to genetics, sun exposure, aging, and skin sensitivity.

UNDERSTANDING VASCULAR CONCERNS
Vascular concerns occur when small blood vessels dilate, weaken, or become more visible beneath the skin. Cherry angiomas are small, red growths made up of blood vessels. Spider veins and broken capillaries appear as thin red or purple lines, most commonly on the face.
These concerns do not typically improve with skincare alone and often require targeted treatments designed to address visible vessels safely and precisely.
OUR APPROACH
Vascular treatments are selected based on the type, size, depth, and location of the visible vessels. Our care is guided by a careful assessment of your skin to ensure treatment is appropriate and conservative.
Treatments may be performed by our licensed providers using technology designed to target visible vessels while minimizing impact to the surrounding skin. The goal is to reduce the appearance of vascular lesions without compromising skin health.
Treatment Options
Treatment options for vascular concerns may include one or a combination of the following:
Microneedling
Microneedling can help improve the appearance of certain vascular concerns by strengthening the skin and supporting collagen production. By thickening the dermal layer, microneedling may make small, superficial blood vessels less noticeable over time. It is best suited for mild facial vascular concerns and is often used alongside targeted vascular treatments for more comprehensive results.
PERSONALIZED TREATMENTS FOR VASCULARITY
Vascular concerns vary widely in appearance and severity. Some patients seek treatment for a single lesion, while others have multiple areas of concern. Treatment plans are developed based on what you want addressed and how your skin responds, with options adjusted as needed.
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.
SKIN TEXTURE FAQ
Skin texture refers to how smooth or uneven the skin feels and looks on the surface. Skin tone is about color. It’s possible to have even tone but still struggle with roughness, bumps, or visible pores.
Yes. Texture often improves with treatments that support healthy cell turnover and skin renewal. Many people notice smoother skin and refined pores over time with the right approach.
Downtime varies by treatment. Some options involve little to no downtime, while others may include short periods of redness or mild peeling. We’ll walk through what to expect before treatment.
Texture concerns often improve gradually. A series of treatments is common, especially for deeper or long-standing texture changes, but plans are kept realistic and manageable.
Yes. Treatments are selected based on your skin’s sensitivity and behavior. Gentle options are available, and we adjust care as needed.
It can be. Past breakouts often leave behind uneven texture or enlarged pores, even after acne is no longer active. Texture treatments can help address these changes.
No. We assess your skin and recommend options based on what will be most effective and comfortable for you.
For new patients, consultations are included with facials and microneedling. Advanced treatments like light based therapies and resurfacing services require a consultation prior to booking to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin.
