Broken capillaries and blood vessels are those fine red / blue veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. There are many schools of thought as to their cause ranging from genetics, hormonal changes, to injuries, sun exposure and pregnancy. In all likelihood they are the result of some combination of these (and other) factors.
Laser technology allows these unwanted veins to be removed without the use of needles, or surgery.
