As if dealing with the emotional uppercut break-up thrusts your way isn’t enough, most of us will also experience changes in our physical appearance, including a decline of our skin health.
The endless nights of sobbing will leave your nose the colour of the sorrow-drowning wine you’ve guzzled. As a result, you can end up with broken capillaries in the nose area from crying.
Let us examine a common skin issue during this period.
REDNESS and BROKEN CAPILLARIES
For those of you that are prone to broken capillaries and Rosacea or Rosacea-like symptoms, your skin may flare up during this stressful period.
Soothing skin masks such as Soothing Gel Mask , are an excellent way to keep your skin calm and prevent further damage. This step will add hydration, calm redness and inflammation.
HOW-TO TIPS:
After a night of water work, try giving your skin a nice thorough cleanse with Gentle Cream Cleanser based cleanser, then follow up with soothing mask, focusing on the cheek and nose area, as these tend to be the most sensitive. You can also try storing your products in the fridge for added calming and cooling effect.
If the symptoms persist even after you broken heart has mended a great option is the ALIVIA IPL Photofacial. Not only will it help reduce the broken capillaries present in the skin from crying at the time of treatment, but it will also help reduce the severity of symptoms in the future.

We offer vascular lesion removal treatments in Edmonton, Alberta.
What are vascular lesions?
Vascular lesions are due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, sensitized skin, or simply genetics. Frequent, consistent redness and broken capillaries are typical characteristics present of these types of conditions.
How do I know if I have Rosacea?
Talk to your doctor if you think you may have Rosacea. Common symptoms of Rosacea include:
Flushing
Persistent Redness
Bumps and Pimples
Visible Blood Vessels
Broken Capillaries
Burning or Stinging
Swelling
Eye Irritation
Dry Appearance
Skin Thickening
Plaques (overgrowths of skin)
Phototherapy reduces redness and broken capillaries
We do vascular lesion removal with phototherapy, more specifically, with our ALIVIA photofacial.
To understand how phototherapy reduces Rosacea symptoms, let’s begin with the fact that oxyhemoglobin is formed by the combination of hemoglobin with oxygen, present in oxygenated blood. When we apply light energy, oxyhemoglobin in the blood within the targeted vessel absorbs the energy. In turn, this causes the blood to coagulate and the vessel to break up into particles. Finally, these particles are naturally filtered away through the body’s lymphatic system.
Is the ALIVIA photofacial painful?
Most clients would agree that phototherapy is not painful at all. During the procedure, you may feel a slight, momentary stinging sensation. This sensation is comparable to the snapping of a small elastic band, but not pain.
We provide post care instructions for your treatment. While there are some minor recommendations we as you to follow, the ALIVIA photofacial does NOT require any downtime whatsoever!
Our Skin Experts are knowledgeable on our technology, AND on the biology of the skin. This increases the comfort and safety of all of our treatments. Our treatments are non-invasive and safe, with minimum side effects if any at all.
