Broken capillaries are tough to get rid of
Posted on 21 February 2007
As almost every other skin condition, broken capillaries on your face might be a bigger issue to get rid of. Although many brands promise to erase capillaries, not one has proven to work.
My favorite chemists address the issue, properly calling it Generalized Essential Telangiectasia:
"If GET is what you've got, you should ask your Derm if you're a candidate for laser Phototherapy. This kind of treatment has been shown to be helpful. But according to the research we've seen, there are no topical treatments that are proven to get rid of GET. Interestingly, in at least a few cases, antibiotics (like tetracycline) and antiviral drugs (like Acyclovir) have been helpful in clearing up GET. Again, ask your doctor."
So, if you suffer from GET, your first move should be to get offline and into the doctor's office.
