Medically, this skin condition is known as telangiectasia rosacea, where tiny veins under very pale skin look like spidery webs of red and blue lines. Ordinarily, it classifies as a hereditary condition that can be treated with Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology and vascular laser treatment. Those who administer this type of treatment are medical estheticians who have undergone medical esthetician training near you or the area where you live.

 

The facial redness caused by broken capillaries on the face looks similar to intense blushing. The diffused red color comes from blood slowly spreading beneath the skin. Aside from sun exposure, the capillaries can get broken from too much scrubbing while washing one's face. They also get broken when you take a bath with water that was too hot. In addition, too much alcohol can also cause capillaries to break from frequent dilation. As a result, many people interpret the presence of these spidery veins on one's face as a sign that the person has liver problems caused by alcoholism.

 

As we age, our skin becomes thinner and these broken capillaries one's face reveal clearly. Adults with this condition often seek help from a dermatologist who uses a combination of two technologies to get rid of the dilated veins. The IPL technology is generally used to target smaller veins and diffused redness on the face. Meanwhile, a vascular laser is ultimately applied to larger blood vessels that look bluish underneath pale skin. Both treatments, which are administered by a medical esthetician, cause minimal pain comparable to the sting when a rubber band is flicked against the skin.

 

Each session takes no more than a few minutes, but the skin may feel heated and some swelling may occur afterwards. Just as it is with other cosmetology treatments, that is natural and harmless. An ice pack is normally applied to reduce the uncomfortable sensation and facial redness. In fact, makeup may be worn immediately after a few hours. To prevent skin irritation, patients must avoid scrubbing down the face with exfoliants and astringents. When bruising develops, apply Hirudoid cream on the face immediately. Generally, results are completely visible after a month of treatment and adherence to the recommended skin care regime.

 

To prevent broken capillaries on face, you must avoid tanning beds and stop sun bathing permanently. Use a sunscreen lotion with at least SPF30 protection whenever you go out. Use soft cotton towels to pat dry your face instead of toweling down. Aside from good skin care habits, also practice using bath and body care products that contain mostly botanical ingredients to protect your skin from harsh chemicals. Finally, people need to moisturize always and spend enough time for a beauty rest. Most importantly, seek the help of medical estheticians who provide personal care and service beyond what you'll expect.
