Why are capillaries damaged?
There are a number of reasons for this, which can be divided into external and internal.
Doctors consider external threats to include:
- Alcohol and cigarette abuse
- The predominance of hot, hot, spicy foods in the diet
- Hot coffee and tea more than 2 cups per day
- Poor quality care and use of “bad” decorative cosmetics
- Frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun, especially without the use of high SPF protection products
- Visiting baths, saunas
Among the internal risk factors are:
- Autoimmune spectrum diseases
- Pathologies of the digestive system
- Atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases
- Rosacea
- Hormonal imbalance
It is important to understand that people with fair, sensitive, irritation-prone skin are more likely to suffer from rosacea.
How does rosacea manifest itself?
As a rule, this is a completely painless problem that causes only aesthetic discomfort. However, some patients may complain of intermittent itching or burning sensation in the area of the affected vessels.
Sometimes spider veins on the face appear against the background of liver disease . In this case, this may be accompanied by yellowing of the skin, sclera and mucous membranes, as well as lightening of stool and darkening of urine.
If rosacea develops against the background of autoimmune pathologies and connective tissue diseases, then this is accompanied by inflammatory processes and damage to large vessels.
Treatment of rosacea
It has three main directions:
- Elimination of the cause that led to the occurrence of a cosmetic defect (smoking, liver disease, aggressive cosmetics, etc.)
- Working on damaged vessels using injection or hardware techniques .
- Proper care is the use of cosmetics and care products selected by an experienced cosmetologist individually for the needs of the skin and taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient.
Electrocoagulation
“Soldering” damaged vessels using electric current . As a rule, this procedure is used to correct damaged large vessels.
Laser Application
Targeted effect on damaged vessels without involving healthy skin. It is especially effective when affecting single, significantly dilated capillaries.
Ozone therapy
Introduction of an ozone-oxygen mixture into the lumen of dilated and burst vessels. This procedure, among other things, improves metabolism and blood circulation in tissues.
Plasmolifting
An effective procedure to improve the quality, health and appearance of the skin, during which the patient is injected with platelet-rich blood plasma. The drug is prepared immediately before administration using a centrifuge.
Plasmolifting does not guarantee a cure for rosacea, however, it shows good results in complex therapy.
The fact is that “cooked plasma” helps improve the skin’s immune response , normalizes the condition of blood vessels and blood circulation at the injection site, and starts the processes of collagen production and skin restoration. Within a few days after the first procedure, the appearance of the koi begins to improve. Moreover, it is important to understand that changes occur not only outside, but also inside, which allows you to maintain the acquired effect for a long time.
Phototherapy using the M22 device
Unfortunately, until recently it was almost impossible to cope with the problem.
However, phototherapy is now available using the M22 device from Lumenis.
Phototherapy coagulates, that is, “cauterizes” dilated blood vessels, has an anti-inflammatory effect and accelerates skin renewal.
The M22 device can remove even very deep and hard-to-reach vessels , for example, rosacea on the wings of the nose. At the same time, it acts safely - the light rays affect only the hemoglobin in the vessel and do not affect the surrounding tissues. No risk of burns, hyperpigmentation or scarring.

But if you see that home remedies do not bring relief, you should not experiment further. It's time to see a doctor. Especially if you suffer from chronic diseases and are afraid of relapse. The doctor may prescribe:
- retinoids.
Topical creams containing retinoids may help reduce the appearance of spider veins. These ingredients are commonly used to treat acne and rosacea. Retinoids gently exfoliate the top layer of skin and increase collagen production, making blood vessels no longer visible;
- laser therapy.
Using a laser, a specialist completely removes damaged vessels that have ceased to perform their functions. This procedure is very convenient because it gives an immediate effect and does not require rehabilitation. Skin damage is minor;
- Intense pulsed light technology.
The technology of exposure is reminiscent of laser therapy, but the beam penetrates immediately into the deep layers of the skin without affecting the epidermis;
- sclerotherapy.
According to the Mayo Clinic, injection therapy helps spider veins disappear within a few weeks. During the procedure, the doctor injects a solution into the damaged blood vessels, “sealing” them.
Before carrying out the procedure, be sure to check whether the specialist has the necessary qualifications and whether the equipment is in working order. Otherwise, strong teeth and tissue scarring may occur.
How is the procedure done?
Treatment includes several successive stages:
- Protect your eyes with special glasses and apply gel to create contact with the skin and protect it from overheating
- Operation of the M22 apparatus using light beams with areas of dilated vessels
- Applying a protective agent to the skin after completion of the procedure and recommendations for care after phototherapy
It is impossible to assess the result of spider vein removal immediately after the procedure due to redness of the skin, but the effect will be noticeable after 3-4 days.
To completely remove rosacea on the face with the M22 device, a course of procedures will be required, depending on the severity of the problem.
