Dealing with persistent redness and visible capillaries can be challenging and often impacts your confidence. Redness, rosacea, or broken capillaries may seem like minor concerns, but they’re indicators of what’s happening below the skin’s surface, often hinting at sensitivity, inflammation, or damaged blood vessels. At Instincts Skin, we take a holistic approach to treating these concerns, using advanced treatments to target the root causes and calm the skin, allowing you to enjoy a clearer, more even complexion.

What Causes Redness and Visible Capillaries?
Redness and capillaries are common concerns for many people and can be caused by a combination of internal and external factors, including:
- Genetics: Some people are more prone to redness and visible capillaries due to hereditary factors.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to UV rays, harsh weather, and pollution can weaken blood vessels and contribute to redness.
- Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, stress, alcohol consumption, and diet can impact skin’s vascular health, leading to increased redness.
- Skin Sensitivity and Conditions: Conditions like rosacea, eczema, or extreme sensitivity can increase redness and make capillaries more prominent.
- Aging: Over time, the skin naturally becomes thinner, making capillaries more visible on the surface.
Our team at Instincts Skin takes these factors into account during our consultations, helping you understand the root causes and creating a plan that treats both the symptoms and the underlying issues.
What’s Happening Underneath the Skin?
Redness and visible capillaries are linked to weakened or broken blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. Over time, factors such as inflammation, sun damage, and repeated exposure to extreme conditions can cause capillaries to expand and become visible. These blood vessels can stay dilated and become permanently visible if left untreated, creating a reddish appearance on the skin.
This can also lead to a cycle of inflammation, where the skin remains red and sensitive, resulting in heightened skin sensitivity and discomfort.
We offer a range of proven, high-performance treatments to address redness and visible capillaries effectively. Each treatment is tailored to your unique skin type, needs, and goals, ensuring a transformative experience that promotes skin health.
- Medi Peels:Our customised medi peels use a blend of anti-inflammatory and strengthening ingredients, these peels help reduce visible capillaries by promoting healthy cell turnover and increasing skin resilience. The medi peels also contain skin-calming actives that reduce redness and restore a more even tone, making them ideal for those with fragile or reactive skin.
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): IPL is a highly effective treatment for broken capillaries and redness by using pulses of light energy that specifically target hemoglobin in blood vessels. This energy causes the capillaries to heat up and collapse, allowing them to be reabsorbed by the body over time. IPL also helps to reduce overall skin redness by promoting collagen production, which reinforces the skin barrier, making it less prone to future irritation and visible capillaries.
- Skin Needling: Skin needling, or microneedling, uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating a healing response that increases collagen and elastin production. This collagen boost strengthens the skin, making it less likely to reveal capillaries on the surface. For those with redness-prone skin, microneedling also improves skin texture and resilience, reducing the appearance of redness by fortifying capillary walls and increasing circulation for a more balanced skin tone.

Each of these treatments are tailored to your unique skin condition, allowing us to create a comprehensive approach that addresses redness and capillaries from every angle.
We believe that no two skin journeys are alike. That’s why our treatment plans are fully customised to address your specific concerns, whether it’s reducing redness, strengthening capillaries, or enhancing overall skin health. Our process begins with an in-depth skin consultation, where we assess your skin’s needs, identify underlying causes, and recommend a treatment pathway tailored to your goals.
Our skin consultations are an essential step in creating a successful, results-driven skincare journey. During your consultation, we’ll design a bespoke plan that includes both in-clinic treatments and at-home care, ensuring you achieve lasting skin confidence and optimum results.
