Skin redness on the face, legs, and different parts of the body may sometimes seem like a typical reaction to the environment. But if it doesn't go away and you see visible veins, it might be due to broken capillaries or blood vessels.

Dermatology & Skin Health offers comprehensive treatments for dilated blood vessels, like spider veins and varicose veins only by board-certified dermatologists. Schedule an appointment and visit our offices in Dover, Newington, Londonderry, Bedford, and Peabody.

Do You Experience Facial Redness?

Most of us experience skin redness due to sun exposure or a sudden rush of emotions, especially when we have sensitive skin. However, it may also be due to broken capillaries and rosacea. The tiny spider veins on your face that make your skin look flushed may be caused by a broken capillary from sun damage.

What are Broken Blood Vessels?

Broken blood vessels are enlarged or dilated blood vessels beneath the skin's surface, appearing as pink or blue spidery lines usually on the nose, cheeks, legs, and face. Often called "spider veins", you may also have these in any other part of the body. 

While visible blood vessels or dilated capillaries are harmless, patients may have them treated for better blood flow and a clearer, smoother appearance of the skin. That's why Dermatology & Skin Health uses advanced dermatological technologies to provide quick, safe, and comprehensive treatment options for this skin condition.

What Causes Broken Blood Vessels

Aside from facial redness, visible blood vessels due to damage in other parts of the body may also be caused by several conditions. Schedule an appointment with our board-certified dermatologist at Dermatology & Skin Health.

Here are some of the causes of broken capillaries:

  • extreme changes in temperature
  • genetics
  • pregnancy
  • skin conditions, such as rosacea
  • chemical irritants
  • sun damage
  • blood pressure
  • obstructed blood flow
  • medications causing dilated blood vessels

Have your skin redness from the appearance of tiny blood vessels and leg veins checked at Dermatology & Skin Health. We will assess your condition to define its specific causes and arrive at a suitable treatment option.

How to Treat Broken Blood Vessels

Dermatology & Skin Health offers a broken blood vessel treatment to resolve skin redness and the appearance of tiny blood vessels and leg veins.

Diagnosis 

Our broken blood vessel treatment starts with diagnosing your condition. Patients can notice the dilated capillaries and veins easily, but our doctors confirming your symptoms will give you a complete assessment, like probable causes and possible underlying medical conditions.

Treatment Procedures We Can Do

We offer multiple treatments for visible blood vessels due to damage. Our board-certified dermatologists strive to provide patients with the utmost care and the most suitable treatment options for their condition.

Here are some of the treatment options we can offer for patients with visible veins:

  • Medication - depending on your medical condition, our dermatologists can prescribe topical medications, such as retinoids, to reduce the appearance of tiny blood vessels.
  • Laser treatment - laser therapy is one of the treatment options at Dermatology & Skin Health. The technology we use is the Vbeam Perfecta that's not only used for treating rosacea, spider veins, and varicose veins. Vbeam Perfecta is also used to remove blemishes due to sun damage. This laser treatment resolves broken blood vessels using a flashlamp pulsed dye laser to deliver an intense, gentle burst of laser energy through the dermis and epidermis skin layers. The laser energy is then absorbed by the oxyhemoglobin in the blood vessels rather than by the surrounding tissue.
  • Sclerotherapy - this is a minimally invasive treatment involving injections of a solution into dilated capillaries and small varicose veins to reroute the pool of blood into healthier veins. The solution causes the damaged vein to scar and eventually fade.
  • Intense pulsed light (IPL) - a non-invasive treatment option for resolving spider veins that uses heat from light energy to target skin redness due to broken capillaries and damage to the blood vessels. These blood vessels eventually fade into the body.

Know more about your facial redness and the visible veins on your skin by scheduling an appointment with our dermatologists. Our team of experts will prepare the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Home Remedies for Broken Blood Vessels

Patients experiencing facial redness due to broken blood vessels rely on natural remedies as their initial treatment option. Make sure you're not allergic to these home remedies before trying them out on your skin.

The home remedies for broken blood vessels are the following:

  • Using horse chestnut - horse chestnut has been one of the go-to ingredients for several skin conditions and for improving vein health.
  • Applying warm water when washing the face - patients may also use warm water when washing their faces, taking a bath, or showering. Hot water may damage blood vessels.
  • Putting on some apple cider vinegar - this was said to resolve facial redness that may reduce the appearance of broken capillary, leaving patients with fair skin.

Those with facial redness may try these home remedies as their first course of treatment. Schedule an appointment at Dermatology & Skin Health for a solution using advanced dermatology.

How You Can Prevent Broken Blood Vessels

There are ways to prevent having broken blood vessels. Schedule an appointment with our healthcare providers to learn more about taking care of your blood vessels.

Here are some of the ways to prevent broken blood vessels:

  • Limit exposure to the sun - wear sunscreen and other protective gear every day to reduce sun damage. The heat can cause heightened blood pressure, which can strain the walls of your blood vessels and eventually damage them.
  • Consume alcohol moderately- consult your medical provider about the proper amount of alcohol that’s safe to consume. Alcohol can widen up the lining of your blood vessels, making the blood flow closer to the surface. This might risk damaging the capillaries.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme heat – if you’ve been dipping into hot tubs and spas or love sweating it out in the sauna, you might want to avoid them or limit the temperature to prevent damaging your blood vessels. Like exposing yourself to the sun, heat from these environments can cause damage to your blood vessels due to having heightened blood pressure.
  • Wear protective gear – when engaging in sports and other activities, ensure wearing protective gear to avoid injuries resulting in spider veins.
  • Consume supplements or food rich in vitamin B-12 – the measures above might not be entirely simple for those needing frequent sun exposure due to their career. They can consume food rich in vitamin B-12 or take supplements to strengthen their blood vessels and avoid vein problems.

Consult our healthcare providers here at Dermatology & Skin Health, so we can provide a plan for broken blood vessel prevention.
