Broken Blood Vessels Treatment in Korea – Laser Vascular Therapy in Seoul for International Patients

Broken blood vessels—often seen as thin red lines or patches on the face—can be frustrating and difficult to hide. Commonly found on the cheeks, nose, and chin, these visible capillaries (telangiectasia) are caused by sun damage, skin thinning, rosacea, or genetics. In Korea, dermatology clinics in Seoul offer highly effective, non-invasive treatments for broken blood vessels using advanced laser and light-based technology.

The cost of treatment depends on the number of areas and sessions required. On average:

  • Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL): ₩150,000–₩400,000 per session
  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): ₩120,000–₩300,000
  • Long-pulse Nd:YAG Laser: ₩200,000–₩500,000

Most patients require 1–3 sessions depending on the severity and depth of the blood vessels.


What Are Broken Blood Vessels?

Broken blood vessels, also known as spider veins or facial capillaries, are dilated or damaged tiny veins just under the surface of the skin. They may appear as:

  • Red or purple squiggly lines
  • Diffuse redness on the nose or cheeks
  • Tiny red dots or thread-like clusters

They are not dangerous but are often treated for cosmetic reasons.


Common Causes of Facial Capillaries

  • Sun damage from UV exposure
  • Aging and thinning skin
  • Rosacea or other chronic skin conditions
  • Extreme temperatures or wind exposure
  • Genetics
  • Heavy alcohol consumption
  • Skin trauma, such as squeezing or over-exfoliating
