Dye Laser Treatment Telangiectasias or so-called broken veins on the face, often part of rosacea, as well as portwine stains, hemangiomas in children and red-spots on the body in adults all can be selectively destroyed. The Candela pulsed-dye laser was the first selective laser and it was designed to destroy small blood vessels in the skin by recognizing the red color of red blood cells in blood vessels. The Candela V-Beam is the latest version of this laser and it can often remove blood vessels without bruising so that downtime is minimal. First used to treat portwine stain birthmarks, it remains the gold-standard treatment for all types of vascular birthmarks as well as rosacea and broken veins on the face. Anesthesia is usually not required for treatment, post-procedure recovery time is minimal and scarring or change in texture of the skin is extremely unusual.
