Quick answer · What is Broken Capillaries?
Broken capillaries, or telangiectasia, are small dilated blood vessels visible as fine red lines, usually on the cheeks and around the nose. Sun damage, rosacea and thin skin are common causes. RE:BERRY treats them with gentle laser energy, such as Genesis toning, that heats vessels so they fade, plus skin-strengthening boosters. Sessions take 15–30 minutes with little downtime; several sessions are usually needed, and new vessels can appear over time.

How it works
Gently closing visible vessels
Broken capillaries are widened vessels close to the surface, often in skin that has been thinned by sun or chronic redness. Laser light is absorbed by the blood in these vessels and gently heats them so they shrink and fade over the following weeks. Repair boosters thicken thin skin so vessels are less visible, and sun protection reduces new ones.
-
Diagnosis
Your doctor looks at the vessels under good light, checks for rosacea or other causes and advises whether a dedicated vascular laser or dermatology care would suit you better.
-
Laser treatment
Gentle laser energy is passed over the area with cooling, at settings matched to the size of the vessels and your skin type.
-
Follow-up
Vessels fade gradually over weeks; further sessions and daily sunscreen help maintain the result.
Before & after
Fewer visible red lines and a more even tone
Most patients see fine vessels fade gradually over a course, with calmer overall redness. Larger vessels may need more sessions, and new ones can form with time.
