Vascular Lesions

In Merrick, NY

What Are Vascular Lesions?

Vascular lesions are abnormal blood vessels or clusters of capillaries that appear as red, blue, or purple marks on the skin. They can take the form of spider veins, port-wine stains, cherry angiomas, or telangiectasia, often developing on the face, legs, or chest due to genetics, sun exposure, or circulation issues. While these lesions are generally harmless, they can become more pronounced over time, leading to cosmetic concerns. Factors such as aging, hormonal changes, and prolonged standing may contribute to their development. Fortunately, advanced laser treatments can effectively reduce their appearance, restoring a clearer and more even skin tone.
