The causes of the appearance and removal of vascular asterisks on the body

Often on the skin of women and men appear vascular patterns. They spoil the appearance and bring discomfort.

Up to 90% of people are familiar with this problem. But such troubles can not be considered only a cosmetic defect - the appearance of vascular asterisks on the skin indicates the malfunctioning of the vascular system of the body.

What kind of stars are

Vascular mesh is a network of thickened blood vessels: capillaries, venules and arterioles, which are located in the surface layer of the skin.

The pattern of red color is formed from arterioles - the smallest arteries. The blue color is to say that the veins have increased - the smallest veins. Teleangiectasia - the so-called patterns on the body, appearing in the form of dots, rulers, tree-like and arachnid branches.

In most cases, such mesh patterns can be found on the legs, on the abdomen and chest, back and face. They arise because of circulatory failure.

Poor operation of the venous valves leads to stagnation of blood flow, which causes an increase in pressure on small blood vessels.

The walls of these vessels are easily stretchable, which leads to their "protrusion" and penetration into the upper layer of the epidermis.

Reasons for the appearance of

The main reasons for the appearance of asterisks throughout the body are:

• genetic predisposition;
• changes and errors in the hormonal background due to pregnancy, menopause, hormonal and contraceptive methods, abortion;
• due to prolonged venous insufficiency;
• age errors in the operation of venous valves and decreased vascular wall tone;
• chronic diseases of the liver, intestines, endocrine and vascular system;
• heavy physical exertion, heavy load on the legs due to high heels, a long standing position in the standing position;
• frequent visit to the sauna or sauna;
• infatuation with solarium or sunbathing. Due to the temperature difference - the exit from a warm room to a cold and vice versa;
• excessive craze for alcohol and smoking;
• obesity;
• frostbite, deep peeling, canned massage and other similar procedures;
• presence of venous disease.

The formation of vascular asterisks can provoke hypertension - the vessels simply burst from the load.

Localization and varieties of

patterns Vascular asterisks form anywhere on the body, but most often they are localized on the face and legs. They rarely show on their hands, neck, back and abdomen. Red patterns on the legs are divided into two types:

• linear - protrude on the surface of the thigh from the inside;
• tree - on the hips from the outside.

The arterial sprouts are spider-like and red.

The vascular pattern on the face is called couperose, often localized on the nose and on the cheeks.

Grids of red or purple can be tree and linear.

This defect may be in children, but most often it occurs in the elderly.

Concomitant symptomatology

Vascular asterisks are not life threatening, but they do not change the appearance of the patient for the better. Due to pressure on the walls of the vessels, pain occurs on the affected areas, red spots and itching.

Even before the appearance of the external signs of stars on their feet, pain and fatigue appear in the lower extremities by the end of the day. Often patients complain of leg cramps at night.

Then appear asterisks of red or blue hue, having an uneven surface and towering above the surface of the skin. It is necessary to press on it with a finger, and it will turn pale, but then again will return the former color.

Diagnosis and therapy - what does medicine offer?

Before starting to eliminate the vascular network, it is necessary to undergo diagnostics and establish the cause of their formation. If they have appeared because of venous insufficiency, then a survey should be conducted to determine the stage, degree of disruption and extent of venous disease.

The basic method of examination is ultrasound dopplerography, but other indications can be made according to indications.

In addition to examining the phlebologist, it is necessary to consult a vascular surgeon, endocrinologist, gynecologist, cardiologist. They can prescribe additional tests to determine violations in the liver, heart, ovaries and the endocrine system.

The principle of treatment of vascular asterisks that appear on the body is to eliminate the cause of their appearance. The effectiveness of treatment depends on how eliminated the factor that caused them.

If you do not treat a disease that provoked protrusion of vessels, then eliminate them with the help of special apparatus - an empty job.

Therefore, the treatment is carried out in a complex way: medical treatment of the disease leading to the formation of asterisks, the elimination of defects and the alteration of certain factors in one's life, for example, quitting smoking and alcohol, proper nutrition, lack of exposure to ultraviolet light, performing the feasible physical exertion to exclude blood stasis in the vessels.

Conservative treatment method involves the use of ointments and creams with simultaneous reception of funds that improve blood circulation - angioprotectors. At an early stage of education, these drugs are helpful.

You can also resort to physiotherapy and hardening( dousing with cold water).This will help get rid of small stars and prevent the formation of new ones.

A radical method for the elimination of vascular flaws involves the use of one of the following methods:

1. Microsclerotherapy - a thin needle in the vessel is given a drug( sclerosant), "gluing" the vessels. A few days after the exposure, you should wear compression underwear or bandages. It does not apply to the removal of small vessels.
2. Electrocoagulation - "cauterization" of vessels with a current with specially specified parameters is performed. There may be burns of neighboring tissues, scars remain. The method is not used to remove blood vessels on the face.
3. Ozonotherapy - oxygen is supplied to the vessel with ozone and its walls are destroyed. Has no side effects, no scars are formed. Used to remove blood vessels on the legs.
4. Laser photocoagulation is the most effective and gentle method. The laser beam is directed to the vessel, the blood elements absorb radiation, while heating and gluing together. The tissues are not damaged, as the skin is cooled by a cryogen. Removal is carried out for several sessions with interruptions of up to 2 weeks. A good aesthetic effect is achieved. Incorrect actions of the doctor can lead to burns and scars, therefore it is necessary to trust only qualified specialists. The method is ideal for eliminating vascular patterns on the face and neck.

The method of eliminating blood vessels is selected by a specialist. Do not resort to the elimination of vascular branching during pregnancy and lactation.

Traditional medicine

Folk remedies also help get rid of the asterisks on the skin. Of the most effective, the following recipes can be distinguished:

1. Green tomatoes - contain an acid that can restore the walls of the vessels tone and elasticity. For treatment, cut the tomato with rings and apply to the affected areas for 5-10 minutes, so that there is no redness of the skin. After the time has expired, grease the treated areas with a nutritious cream. The course of treatment with the use of the presented method is not less than one and a half weeks.
2. Tea mushroom - well eliminates capillaries, for which you need to tear off pieces from the product and apply to problem areas. Treat daily for a month.

The vascular sprockets themselves are not dangerous, but they signal a decrease in the tone of the vessel walls. Vascular patterns on the face lead to early aging and dry skin. There may be bleeding, infection, scarring and scarring.

The face skin does not receive the required amounts of oxygen and nutrients, becomes pale with a grayish tinge. On the legs ignoring the asterisks leads to varicose veins and to a trophic ulcer with time. Therefore, the treatment of the cause of the appearance of a mesh on the skin and strengthening of the walls of the vessels is the primary task in eliminating an unpleasant defect.

Preventative measures

The occurrence of asterisks on the skin can be prevented if the following recommendations are fulfilled:

• is less exposed to the sun;
• not to visit the sauna and bath;
• wear not pulling clothes and comfortable shoes on a small heel;
• to fight excess weight, if there is one;
• apply body cream against vascular asterisks;
• engage in any sport, swimming and more walking;
• to exclude bad habits and not engage in hard work;
• after bathing, rinse with cold water.

These tips will help strengthen the vascular system and eliminate the occurrence of vascular asterisks throughout the body.
