Red dots around the eyes, a mesh on the nose or on the cheeks - rosacea. He lets you know about himself in case of damage to the capillary and blood supply disturbances.

Is this defect dangerous? No, but it reduces the aesthetic appeal of the skin and signals more serious problems.

The reason for the development of rosacea can be:

  • genetic predisposition;
  • stress;
  • age-related changes;
  • smoking;
  • menopause;
  • disease of internal organs;

What do burst capillaries look like?

Isolated cases at the initial stage are almost invisible. They look like red dots. They can be easily hidden with a quality powder or foundation.

The problem is that these little dots can grow into spider veins.

Some professionals will agree to help you for just a few hundred rubles, but it should be borne in mind that the area of ​​the cosmetic defect affects the final price.

What are spider veins (couperosis)?

Spider veins are nothing more than vessels dilated against the background of a malfunction of the capillary system, which become visible under the skin. It is in no way possible to consider the problem as an exclusively aesthetic defect, since the vascular manifestation itself signals that in a certain part of the circulatory system high pressure that the walls of the vessels have lost their elasticity and tone, and there are also capillary microtraumas and their deformations.

In the field of cosmetology and dermatologists, spider veins on the face are called rosacea, in medicine they have a different name - telangiectasias, which can be venous, capillary and arterial and differ in shape (tree, mesh, points, spiral, stars). Vascular asterisks appear on the legs, trunk, and in general throughout the body, but those located on the face (cheeks, sinuses, chin) cause the most troubles and worries.

Owners of sensitive skin are at risk of developing rosacea, since they are most susceptible to temperature extremes, the influence of aggressive factors, including some cosmetics.

Spider veins on the face can appear not only in old age, adolescents often suffer from this problem, which is associated with hereditary factors. Treatment in this case is mandatory and only after consultation with a phlebologist. I do not advise you to postpone the elimination of the problem on the back burner, because over time the spider veins will only become larger.

Expansion of blood vessels or incipient rosacea manifests itself in the form of periodic itching and burning of the skin, which later turn into irritation. Such signs begin to appear more and more often, as a result, intense redness and spider veins appear on the skin of the face. At the first manifestations of discomfort on the skin or the manifestation of spider veins, you should immediately seek help from specialists. Early diagnosis of the causes of the development of the problem is the key to the successful elimination of these unpleasant skin formations.

Treatment and methods of removing spider veins on the face

Modern medicine and cosmetology offers effective methods fight against spider veins, as well as ways to prevent them. There are also methods that help make damaged vessels less visible.

Not so long ago, electrocoagulation (cauterization) or cryodestruction (exposure to liquid nitrogen) were used to remove areas of dilated vessels. Today, the laser technique for removing spider veins (laser photocoagulation) is used most often. After laser removal, couperosis does not return, the method does not leave any traces or scars on the skin. The most effective are lasers with a yellow and green spectrum of radiation, since this light range does not injure the epidermis. The number of laser procedures for the removal of dilated vessels on the face is determined taking into account the degree of damage and their size. The diameter of the spider veins on the face should be no more than 2 mm, only in this case the technique can be applied. The essence of the technique is that the laser promotes adhesion of the walls of damaged capillaries, which ultimately makes them invisible.

The Secret of Santa Claus

First of all, why does the face blush so much without adding beauty and aristocracy to a person? Dilated capillaries are most commonly seen on the nose, cheeks, and chin. They arise when small vessels from circulatory disorders in the skin lose elasticity, expand and burst. Often, such vascular weakness is a hereditary problem for women and men with thin skin, prone to allergies and irritations. But sometimes subcutaneous circulation disorders are caused by other reasons: endocrine diseases, problems with the stomach, intestines and liver. It happens that rosacea reveals itself after taking hormonal contraceptives.

Wind, frost, stuffiness and heat also provoke rosacea. That is why dilated capillaries can be seen on the faces of workers in hot shops: steel makers, cooks, bath attendants, as well as those who, on duty, spend a lot of time outdoors in the wind: merchants, police officers. Isn't that why Santa Claus has a red nose?

A person becomes "red-faced" even in moments of stress, because during an emotional shake-up the vessels constrict and the blood pressure rises.

Become pale-faced

You can get rid of redness in different ways.

1. Home remedies... Among the anti-couperose remedies are aromatic oils: rosemary, thyme, marjoram, oregano, sage, lemon balm. Will help with rosacea washing with warm water, wiping the skin with pieces of ice (it is necessary to freeze infusions of sage and chamomile).

But "rubbing" the skin with scrubs, gels and foams with an exfoliating effect is not worth it. Vessels can burst if skin is scratched or stretched. Better to cleanse the skin with soft white clay, kaolin. There is also such a simple recipe: brew a couple of tablespoons of dry chamomile in half a liter of boiling water, cool, strain, add 2 tablets of crushed ascorutin (vitamins C and P) and wipe your face with it several times a day.

2. Pharmacy cosmetics- anti-couperose tonics, serums and creams will help with this problem only if they are used in courses.

3. Electrocoagulation, carried out in beauty salons, is ineffective and painful with dilated capillaries. After the procedure long time you will have to stay at home - wait for the scars and swelling to heal.

4. Photothermolysis(vascular laser) and phototherapy will bring a more tangible effect. The procedure takes several minutes, anesthesia is not needed, and after it a rehabilitation period is not required. The doctor chooses the length of the pulsed light depending on the stage of rosacea. Under the influence of the laser, hemoglobin dissolves, the walls of the vessels stick together and go deep under the skin.

5. Ozone therapy refers to those methods that help some, and become a waste of money for others. Cosmetologists find it effective only for mild rosacea. The ozone-oxygen mixture is injected into the lumen of the vessel, and it should disappear.

A good cosmetologist will not hide the truth from the patient: it is better to remove dilated capillaries in the salon before the onset of severe cold weather and before hot weather approaches. Best of all - in autumn and spring.
