The Vein Center & Cosmed

Jan 2021

Went in the other day and already pleased with results. I was cautiously optimistic/had managed expectations. I’m 41, and last few months began noticing that my cheeks were super pink—I called it clown blusher—and looking in a well-lit magnifying mirror confirmed that the pinkness was really several tiny broken capillaries. I did not have many, if any, of the darker, more obviously defined broken capillaries (which are actually supposedly easier to treat) but I decided to give it a try anyway. I had hope that they would at least fade enough for the pinkness to be covered with light makeup (I hate heavy foundation, and even the heavier kind or a green-tinted primer wasn’t working). I know I still have much time before I’ll see a final result, but already I have no visible pinkness while wearing light tinted sunscreen, and even makeup-free at this point I appear to have just a bit of a healthy flush instead of clown makeup. Procedure is not inexpensive, but if broken capillaries are really bothersome to you and you’re sick of buying expensive makeup to try to cover them, it’s worth a try! I found the pain to be next to nothing, but I’m sure everyone is different. Staff was friendly—no snobbishness or talking down here!
