Our electrolysis clinic in Leeds receives numerous calls from those looking to treat broken capillaries. So if you have red veins or broken capillaries, this post will help you with more information.
Broken capillaries occur when multiple blood vessels located near the skin surface get enlarged. These capillaries appear as red formations on the skin. They can appear on the nose, chin, cheeks, chest, ankles and thighs.
The widening of the capillaries can weaken the wall of the blood vessels or can disturb the normal blood flow, either of which results in the red formations on the skin. Broken capillaries are common in people with sensitive skin.
What Factors Increase the Risk of Red Vein?
- Heredity
- Aging
- Pregnancy
- Too much alcohol intake
- Skin trauma caused by injuries or exposure to too much sun and wind
- Surgical incisions
- Medicines prescribed to enlarge blood vessels
- Hot showers, coffee, hot and spicy foods and drinks
- Lifestyle behaviours such as being on the feet most of the day
- Exposure to pollution and smoking
How to Identify Red Vein Condition?
Broken capillaries or the Red Vein condition manifests itself as thin red or pink lines that turn white under pressure. These threadlike lines can also turn blue or purple in colour. The lines are usually 1 to 3mm wide. Red veins can be itchy and painful.
When they appear on the face, broken capillaries cause redness on the face. The red veins appearing on the legs are referred to as Spider Veins because the dilated vessel develops branch-like protrusions that resemble a spider.
How to Treat Broken Capillaries?
Expert treatment of Red Vein is important to get rid of the unsightly red marks on the skin, and the associated pain and discomfort.
One of the best ways of treating broken capillaries is electrolysis. This method involves the application of electric current on the blemished spot using a tiny needle or probe. The heat transmitted through the current destroys the Red Vein marks on the skin.
There is no pain except for the prick of the needle or probe. No anaesthetic is required for the process. The results are immediately visible. The time taken for the treatment ranges from 30 minutes to 1 hour. You may need 1 to 3 treatments for permanent removal of the blemishes.
