Vascular lesion treatment to achieve the evenly toned skin that you deserve

Blood vessels play a critically important role in the body, but that doesn’t mean that you want to see them on the surface of your skin! Vascular lesions can take many forms and affect nearly half of adults, typically appearing on the face or legs. These unsightly lesions can leave patients searching for “vascular treatment options near me.” Still, finding a caring, compassionate provider specializing in using the latest technologies to treat these issues effectively can be challenging. At the Skin & Vein Institute in Encinitas, California, vascular lesion treatment specialist Dr. Amanda Lloyd does just that.

Types of vascular lesions

Vascular lesions can form due to various causes, such as sun damage, pregnancy, genetics, and natural aging processes. While there are many types of vascular lesions, some of the most common types we treat include:

• Telangiectasia: These small web-like red lines can form in any location on the skin but are commonly found on the nose, cheeks, and chin, as well as the arms and legs.  
• Port wine stains: These birthmarks look like a red wine has been spilled onto the skin.
• Hemangioma: Another form of birthmark that is typically bright red and is caused by extra blood vessels.
• Cherry angioma: These are small clumps of blood vessels or capillaries that can result in a raised, bright-red mole-like growth.
• Venous lake: These are small to medium blue-purple bumps on the skin. Often the lips. 

Additionally, rosacea is a common inflammatory condition that typically affects the face, having a vascular component consisting of broken blood vessels. It is commonly treated with lasers.
