How to remove swollen veins and other vascular problems on the face

The face is called the mirror of the soul because of the unique ability to blush when the emotional state changes. Shame, a feeling of restraint and awkwardness, signs of anger and irritation cause instant reddening of the face.

Face blushes from frost, heat, drunk tonics, from spicy and spicy food. This redness is natural and is not a sign of the disease. The complexion is quickly restored by eliminating irritating factors.

Some people have a tendency for redness to be moderate, others blush for any minor reason. And in some cases, the complexion remains red constantly, numerous small arachnid spots appear on it, vascular asterisks, threadlike capillary veins become visible.

Why does the face turn red?

The face is the most exposed area of ​​the skin. The skin on it is not covered by clothes or hair. To protect the surface of the face from external temperature effects under the skin is an active thermoregulation.

The entire subcutaneous layer is covered with thin blood vessels and capillaries, they are invisible to the naked eye, although they are under a thin layer of facial skin. These vessels expand or contract under the influence of micro-mice, strengthening or limiting the flow of blood to the surface. Thus, the thermoregulation of the epidermis occurs.

When blood vessels expand, the blood becomes visible through the skin. The thinner and gentler the skin, the more noticeably the redness is.

Excess blood pressure caused by the emotional state also causes short-term vasodilation and redness of the skin. Individual characteristics for reddening depend on the elasticity of the vessels, the efficiency of micromuscular activity and the thickness of the epidermis of the skin.

For various reasons, the operation of microschemes and the elasticity of the vessels may be impaired. In this case, the vessels do not contract and remain filled with blood. On the skin, this is manifested by the appearance of visible vascular networks, numerous arachnids and threadlike capillary veins.

Why veins turn red and bloated

Vascular abnormalities that cause facial vein dilatation may result from the following factors:

• congenital redness caused by congenital abnormalities of blood vessels;
• age-related weakening of the vessel walls and thinning of the skin;
• daily work in the open air;
• effect of cold, heat, spicy food, alcohol;
• , some skin conditions( eg, cutaneous lupus erythematosus) can lead to abnormal reddening of the cheeks;
• dry skin helps reduce the elasticity of the vessels and their destruction.

Vascular asterisks and meshes, a cluster of point arachnid spots and multiple capillary filamentary lines on the face, are not initially perceived as signs of disease. They do not cause any concern other than aesthetic problems, but at the same time this manifestation is a consequence of three main factors:

• venous insufficiency;
• weakened walls of blood vessels;
• thin dry skin.

The formation of broken capillaries usually does not occur for one reason only. The onset of this problem depends heavily on the genetic predisposition, as well as on hormones, especially estrogen. It is this hormone that weakens the capillaries in such a way that they lose their elasticity and expand.

Vascular mesh develops from venous insufficiency. Deficiency occurs from the reverse outflow of blood in the veins;pressure leads to damage to the walls of blood vessels. Long-term inflammation, high blood pressure and obesity are the medical causes of venous insufficiency.

Regarding the facial mesh, in this case the determinants of their formation include, among other things, prolonged exposure to sunlight and temperature fluctuations that interfere with blood vessels.

Enlarged capillaries - the first signals of

The enlarged veins on the face and legs have the same mechanism of formation. If for any reason, the vessels become brittle and lose their elasticity, then under pressure they remain enlarged and visible through a thin layer of skin in the form of a blue or red thread.

The first signs that it is necessary to take preventive measures against the manifestation of venous disease of the face is the rapid and persistent reddening of the skin at the slightest impact of temperature, hot drinks and emotional outbursts. Of course, many factors, such as genetics, hormonal activity or a congenital skin type can not be changed, but it is possible to eliminate other factors that cause problems related to the cardiovascular system.

What is rosacea?

Rosacea, a skin disease of most adults, manifested in various forms and severity. The disease affects men and women to the same degree and occurs usually after forty years.

Laser treatment, one of the most effective. This procedure acts directly on the damaged veins and rosacea, which disappear under the thermal impact of the laser. In addition, laser pulses, destroying diseased skin cells, stimulate the process of skin regeneration and renewal.

The second method of active rosacea removal, electrocoagulation. At the same time, the damaged vessels are affected by electrical impulses, cleaning and strengthening the walls of the vessels.

This treatment is recommended for people with highly visible blood vessels. Depending on the skin condition, the number of sessions varies from 3 to 8, with an interval of fifteen days.

Peripheral dermatitis or PDR

Non-traditional types of treatment for vascular diseases of the face

• Avoid scratches and other skin damage on the face.

In addition to the natural causes of the appearance of enlarged veins on the face, associated with the age and peculiarity of the organism, when an abnormal redness occurs, the doctor can diagnose such serious diseases as rosacea, couperose and perioral dermatitis.

Diagnosis of diseases leading to the expansion of veins on the face is done according to external manifestations. In addition, the analysis of cutaneous microflora, a blood test, and a study of the state of blood vessels are performed.
