Spider veins (or scientifically telangiectasia or rosacea) are persistent dilatations of small blood vessels in the skin that do not have an inflammatory cause and manifest themselves in the form of venous manifestations visible through the skin of the body, reminiscent of a cobweb or mesh. The appearance of such manifestations may be red, blue or purple

Spider veins. Is it dangerous?

Spider veins themselves are not a disease that poses any danger or threat to the life and health of the patient. In some cases, spider veins may be accompanied by pain and swelling at the site of their localization, and only this brings physical inconvenience to the patient.

Often, such manifestations are considered to be exclusively a cosmetic defect, and many do not pay attention to them. But in reality, this approach is not entirely correct. Manifestations in the form of changes in the smallest vessels are an alarming sign. The fact is that the appearance of spider veins (rosacea) indicates that a person begins to change in the elasticity of the capillary walls, and if at the first stage, visible manifestations are noticeable only on small capillaries, this does not mean at all that similar changes do not occur in more large veins (which are stronger and more elastic by default)

Vascular network on the face: causes and treatment

The manifestation of rosacea is a fairly common phenomenon that affects both women and men all over the planet. The latter, perhaps, do not show this so much, which is why the weaker sex often turns to doctors and cosmetologists, because for a woman a woman’s appearance plays an important role in her inner sense of self.

Internal reasons for the appearance of such a mesh include:

  • state of the vascular system;
  • diseases and pathologies of the endocrine system;
  • genetic predisposition and heredity;
  • pathologies of internal organs (for example, the liver, gastrointestinal tract and even the heart);
  • use of hormonal drugs and contraceptives;
  • high blood pressure.

Even stress can provoke an intensification of these causes and a worsening of the situation: strong feelings are not the best tool for stable and smooth functioning of our heart and blood pressure. It has been proven that nervous situations have no less weak effect on the stomach and pancreas.

For those who smoke and drink alcohol (both of which also greatly affect the vascular system), the manifestation of blood vessels and the appearance of “stars” is a common occurrence. It’s not surprising that bad habits affect the functioning of our body and appearance. Nicotine and alcohol get inside and slowly destroy a healthy body. It's really sad when the effect of this exposure affects the skin.

Let's now touch on the external factors that cause vascular networks to appear on the face. How to get rid of their influence and help your vascular system work better - this topic deserves a separate discussion. Previously, we have already briefly listed the external causes of the appearance of “stars” and unnatural redness of the face, now we will study them in more detail. After all, if you eliminate them or reduce them to a minimum, you can, together with special cosmetic procedures, get rid of rosacea and visible blood vessels on sensitive skin.

It's no secret that both hot and cold water have a strong effect on our blood circulation and blood vessels. Many have been taught that a contrast shower is wonderful and useful. It is true, but not for everyone. For thin, delicate skin, it can become stressful and provoke unhealthy manifestations such as spider veins. Surely you are familiar with the feeling of heat on your cheeks when you enter a warm room from the cold? In essence, this effect is very similar to a contrast shower and also contributes to the appearance of rosacea.

If you are exposed to active sun too often and stay in direct sunlight for a long time, you, unfortunately, can also get spider veins. “What,” you ask, “shouldn’t sunbathe at all?” You can sunbathe, get natural ultraviolet light and vitamin D - all you need is:

  • apply protective agents;
  • soften and moisturize the skin afterwards;
  • cover your face;
  • Avoid the sun when the sun is at its zenith.

Such “tanning” is especially dangerous in countries that are closer to the equator. The influence of the sun is most dangerous there, and the consequences can be sad and result not only in the “stars” of blood vessels on the face and body, but also in blisters and burns. You need to be more careful with the bathhouse and steam room - places where external heat also accelerates the blood in our body.

We described the external temperature effect and partially answered the question of why vascular networks appear on the face. However, that's not all. Even the use of a strong and active scrub if used incorrectly, chemical peeling can injure the skin, make it thinner and weaker, severely disrupt the top layer, allowing red blood vessels to come to the surface. But the risk of rosacea may also occur for those who protect themselves from the sun and scrubs. The group of potential “victims” also includes those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, are overweight, or, conversely, expose themselves to excessive physical activity. All this has a direct connection with blood circulation, the heart and the load on blood vessels.

Important!!!

The reason for the appearance of spider veins is a violation of venous circulation and changes in the elasticity of the capillary walls. The appearance of spider veins does NOT ALWAYS indicate the existence of post-thrombotic or varicose pathology. Likewise, and vice versa, the presence of diagnosed varicose veins does not mean that spider veins may appear.

If you observe manifestations of spider veins on your body, we recommend that you consult a doctor for advice and an accurate diagnosis.

Who gets spider veins?

Spider veins appear in both women and men. In women, spider veins appear much more often (about twice as many). Typically, women react more often to the appearance of spider veins, since such a defect on the skin irritates them and they want to get rid of it, regardless of the reasons for its appearance, while men react to these manifestations much less often, not paying due attention to it or not at all. ignoring.

Causes of spider veins

According to statistics, from 20 to 30% of the adult population of the planet have spider veins. Women are predominantly affected by this disease; in 80% of cases, the cause of spider veins in women is pregnancy and childbirth.

Other reasons for the appearance of spider veins include:

  • Hereditary predisposition
  • Postponed birth
  • Hormonal disorders (including changes in hormonal levels during pregnancy and/or a history of abortions)
  • As a result of the use of hormonal drugs (including hormonal contraceptives)
  • Upon the onset of menopause (menopause)
  • long-term venous insufficiency
  • Decreased tone of the vessel walls (including age-related)
  • Chronic gastrointestinal diseases (liver and intestines)
  • Chronic diseases of the endocrine system
  • Chronic diseases of the circulatory system (hypertension)
  • Heavy physical activity (including high-intensity sports with a predominant load on the leg muscles, such as dancing, cycling, skiing and others)
  • High stress on the legs due to prolonged wearing of high heels
  • Professional working conditions (standing work)
  • Excessive passion for baths and saunas
  • Abuse of sunbathing (including solariums)
  • Consequences after frostbite of the extremities
  • Incorrectly performed cosmetic procedures (deep or excessively intense peeling)
  • Presence of venous diseases (for example, varicose veins)
  • Frequent and sudden changes in temperature
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Previous surgical operations
  • Injuries
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Smoking
  • Being overweight (the higher the percentage of obesity, the higher the chance of spider veins)
  • Age (the likelihood of spider veins increases with age)
  • Vitamin C hypovitaminosis
  • Lifestyle with low physical activity (for example: sedentary work)

Is it possible to cure rosacea on the face with cream?

The answer is no.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely get rid of rosacea with the help of cosmetics, masks, folk remedies, exercises or self-massage - the dilated vessel will not disappear and will continue to show through under the skin. Dermatovenerologist Alexander Prokofiev, medical expert of the La Roche-Posay brand.

The spider veins are removed in the clinic using special equipment. Cosmetics can soothe sensitive skin, relieve redness, and prevent the appearance of new stars and the expansion of existing ones. Cosmetics only mask the manifestation of rosacea, improve microcirculation and prevent the situation from getting worse.

Types of spider veins

By origin:

Venous

In case the width of their threads exceeds 0.02 mm

Arterial

Arterial spider veins are usually red in color. Mostly, arterial spider veins diverge from the main arteriole in different directions and have an appearance somewhat similar to a spider

Capillary

Spider veins most often appear on the nose and cheeks and appear as reddish or purple stars in a linear or tree-like pattern

Classification of spider veins according to external manifestation:

Spot

Pinpoint spider veins are manifestations expressed as a single element of a vein or capillary that is visible through the skin. It is often not very large in size and can sometimes be perceived as a mole, only of a slightly different color. In large quantities, they can combine into large red spots

Tree-like

A tree-shaped spider vein is a manifestation in the form of a “sprout” of a vein, from which capillaries diverge in one direction. In appearance it resembles a plant with roots or a branch. Most often they are blue in color.

Arachnids

Spider veins are manifestations in the form of a single arteriole, from which spider veins diverge in different directions. Unlike the tree-like manifestation of spider veins, here the discrepancies do not have one distinct direction of “movement”, but diverge in different directions. Spider veins visually resemble a spider with many legs. Most often red.

Linear

Linear spider veins appear as small stripes, often in one direction. Visually, linear spider veins are similar to the appearance of postpartum stretch marks on the abdomen. They are found in both blue and red colors and usually appear on the cheeks and nose.

There are many external manifestations of spider veins, and a person can experience several types of manifestations of spider veins at once. But you shouldn’t be scared, the treatment for spider veins is the same.

Places of appearance (localization) of spider veins

Such formations can appear on any part of the body

More often

1. On the face (this disease is also called rosacea), spider veins mainly form on the cheeks and wings of the nose

2. On your feet. A fairly common place for spider veins to appear. Mostly appear just above the knee

A little less often

1. On hands. Quite rare, but they can also appear

2. On the neck and back

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.

Spider vein removal

As we said above, for most people, the presence of manifestations of spider veins is not dangerous, and for the most part they bring aesthetic discomfort. In any case, if you find spider veins on your body, legs or face, we recommend that you consult a doctor who can make an accurate diagnosis and find out the cause of the appearance of spider veins. And only after this, together with the doctor, make decisions regarding their treatment.

As we have already indicated, the cause of the appearance of spider veins can also be the presence of possible diseases that need to be treated, and only after completing the necessary course of treatment and stopping the cause of their appearance, can spider veins be removed

To begin with, having found out the true cause of the appearance of spider veins, it is worth eliminating this very cause, for example: reduce the time of sunbathing or visiting a solarium, reduce the time of wearing high heels, stop smoking or drinking alcohol, and take care of weight loss

There are several ways to remove spider veins

Sclerotherapy for spider veins

One of the most common methods of treating spider veins. The essence of the method is that a slecrosant solution is injected into a vein using a thin needle. The incoming medicine begins to act on the inner surface of the vessels, gluing them together. The stars disappear after about 1-2 months. The scar that appears resolves within a year.

Advantages of the method. The advantage is the low invasiveness and easy tolerability of the procedure.

Disadvantages of the method. Among the disadvantages of the method, one can highlight unpleasant effects in the form of redness and swelling of the treated area, the need to wear compression bandages or stockings for some time after the procedure

This method is used primarily to remove spider veins on the legs. Sclerotherapy is especially effective against venous spider veins, while capillary vascular changes are practically unaffected by it

Laser removal of spider veins

The laser method of removing spider veins is the most popular today. The essence of the method is that through the use of a laser beam and its absorption by damaged vessels, the vessels are soldered (glued together). The laser generates radiation of a special frequency, to which only damaged vessels respond

Advantages of the laser spider vein removal method. The method is absolutely painless. The result is noticeable immediately. No injury to the skin or treated surface. Deleted asterisks are not returned. There is no risk of damage to healthy tissue. Healing occurs without pain, swelling and the formation of any scars. For a number of spider veins (not large ones), one procedure is sufficient. High speed of the procedure. No contact with healthy tissue

Disadvantages of the laser spider vein removal method. Large spider veins may require multiple treatments. The method is contraindicated for use during pregnancy, lactation and individual intolerance

Electrocoagulation of spider veins

The essence of the method is local cauterization of spider veins with high-frequency current. A thin electrode is inserted into the damaged vessel, through which a current discharge passes and destroys the affected part of the vessel.

Advantages of the method. Speed ​​and efficiency of the procedure

Disadvantages of the method. An extremely painful procedure. Possibility of burns, scars, pigmentation or depigmentation of the treated surface. Possibility of damage to healthy tissue. Electrical damage is caused not only to damaged blood vessels, but also to the skin itself. This method is not suitable for removing spider veins on the face

Ozone therapy for spider veins

The technique of ozone therapy is essentially similar to sclerotherapy. The essence of the method is that an ozone-oxygen mixture is introduced into a vessel through a needle, resulting in oxidation of the walls of the vessel, followed by gluing them together.

Advantages of the method. This method does not cause burns, scars or age spots. There are no side effects and does not require long rehabilitation

Disadvantages of the method. The procedure is quite uncomfortable. Multiple treatments may be required to remove spider veins

Used to remove spider veins on the legs

Radio wave removal of spider veins

Spider veins are removed in a non-contact manner. The essence of the method is a non-contact incision and subsequent coagulation of blood vessels.

Advantages of the method. Painless. Healing occurs without pain, swelling and the formation of any scars. The likelihood of damage to nearby tissues is minimal. In some cases, one procedure is enough

Disadvantages of the method / High cost. Applicable only when removing small capillaries

Places of education

Formations of this kind can appear on absolutely any part of the body. However, there are several of the most common areas of their occurrence:

  • wings of the nose;
  • cheeks;
  • feet;
  • ankles;
  • anterior surface of the lower leg;
  • popliteal region;
  • middle third of the outer thigh.

Pathological formations can also, in rare cases, appear on the back, neck and arms. However, it is important to remember that, regardless of where the skin defects in the form of a vascular network are formed, it is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner. He will conduct an examination, on the basis of which it will be possible to determine their nature, make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment. If you leave SZ that appears on the human body without attention, you can provoke the development of more serious diseases of the venous system.

It is recommended to exclude any forms of self-medication in order to prevent an increase in the affected area of ​​the SZ. You can count on a positive result only in case of therapy according to the recommendations and under the supervision of a professional doctor.

On foot

The appearance of telangiectasia on the legs in most cases may go unnoticed due to the absence of pain or another form of manifestation of its occurrence. This can lead to the pathology developing into an advanced form. As a result, swelling and a feeling of heaviness will appear in the lower extremities. If you ignore these manifestations of pathological disorders, the condition will noticeably worsen.

In fact, the formation of a defect in the legs is the first and quite serious sign of problems with blood vessels. The branches can vary in color and shape and are located on the lower limbs in groups or parallel to each other. Don't assume that the problem will solve itself. Treatment of spider veins on the legs should be carried out under the supervision of an experienced phlebologist. In honey you can definitely find qualified help in eliminating telangiectasia.

On the face

The vascular network on the skin in different areas of the face, otherwise called rosacea, is a signal of weakened and brittle blood vessels. As a rule, this defect appears on dry and sensitive skin. It is worth noting that eliminating this aesthetic imperfection is quite difficult.

Cuperosis is a cosmetic imperfection that occurs due to dilation of blood vessels, which can be traced through the skin in the form of cobwebs or stars. In most cases, imperfections appear on the chin, cheeks, and wings of the nose as a result of the loss of elasticity of the vessels under the influence of stress. This leads to stagnation of blood and their expansion.

Dermatologists distinguish the following stages of rosacea:

  • The first
    , manifested in the form of irritation due to prolonged exposure to an environment with high air temperatures and dry air. In this case, it is appropriate to talk about the local nature of the problem.
  • The second
    , in which dilated capillaries located in the vicinity begin to merge into a single network. This stage is characterized by a brighter color of the vessels.
  • The third
    , characterized by a greater severity of the capillary network and redness.
  • Fourth
    . At this stage, not only small vessels, but also all other vessels on the face are susceptible to pathological effects. This leads to the appearance of areas of local blanching of the skin and clearly visible capillaries.

In general, the tips and recommendations are quite simple and easy to apply.

How to choose a cream for skin with rosacea?

  • Give preference to cosmetics labeled “for the care of skin prone to redness.”
  • Nourish and moisturize the skin sufficiently (choose a cream with a moisturizing effect): dehydrated skin thins faster, the elasticity of the vascular wall decreases and its fragility increases.
  • Look for peptides in the basis of anti-rosacea formulas - they restore blood vessels, normalizing their cellular metabolism.
  • Choose pharmaceutical cosmetics: the active formulas of such products can solve several problems at the same time and are distinguished by a high content of active ingredients: vitamins and minerals, hyaluronic acid, enzymes, peptides, thermal water, natural antioxidant extracts.
  • Among the entire range of pharmacy brands, French manufacturers of cosmetics stand out, the effectiveness of whose products is confirmed by quality certificates and approved by dermatologists and cosmetologists.
  • At any time of the year, use a day cream with SPF of at least 30; during a beach holiday, use Sunscreen with maximum protection.

How to get rid of spider veins on the face: what you can and cannot do

Before we talk about methods for solving this problem, it is worth talking about what procedures can be done and what should be abandoned. Compliance with such basic safety precautions will help you not harm yourself and quickly get rid of traces of rosacea.

Prohibited:

  • Do vacuum facial cleansing.
  • Use too cold and too hot water for washing.
  • Use alcohol-containing care products.

If you want to get the maximum effect from treatment, then remember that each case of the disease is individual. Visit both a cosmetologist and your attending physician, undergo all the necessary tests, identify the cause of the disease, and only then proceed with action.

Which doctor should I contact?

As soon as vascular networks appear on any part of the body, you should go for an examination to a therapist. He will conduct a number of necessary studies, based on the results of which he will be able to determine the nature of the defects that have appeared. If indicated, the therapist may refer the patient to:

  • ophthalmologist;
  • endocrinologist;
  • cardiologist;
  • gynecologist;
  • neurologist.

If you have any accompanying symptoms, you should contact a specialist in the appropriate field. For example, if a person suspects that the problem is of a dermatological nature, then he will need to consult a dermatologist. If telangiectasia is accompanied by nausea, sudden weight loss, or a feeling of heaviness in the right hypochondrium, the person will need to consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist. It is recommended to make an appointment with a rheumatologist for autoimmune diseases. A phlebologist surgeon eliminates SZ surgically.

Diagnostics

Treatment of spider veins should be preceded by diagnosis. A phlebologist will help accurately diagnose the disease and the stage of its development. The appointment will begin with a conversation with the patient, his external examination and palpation of the limbs. This will help the specialist to draw a conclusion about the area where the protective zone is located and the nature of the problem.

At the next stage, the doctor prescribes an examination. As a rule, it includes ultrasound duplex scanning aimed at:

  • assessment of the condition of capillaries;
  • identification of pathology and its location;
  • study of the speed and direction of blood flow.

The conducted research will help the phlebologist draw conclusions about the person’s condition. In order to obtain more information about the patient's health, the doctor may order examination of other organs and ask him to take specific tests. To obtain more accurate information, establish concomitant diseases and the causes of telangiectasia, additional examination may be necessary:

  • liver;
  • hearts;
  • thyroid gland;
  • reproductive system.

Treatment

External imperfections in the form of spider veins on the skin can be easily removed in the early stages of development. But at the same time, it is important to remember that you need to get rid of not only the external manifestations of the pathology, but also the internal causes that provoke its occurrence. If the doctor, due to lack of sufficient experience or for some other reason, does not provide therapy at the proper level, this will cause the problem to progress and become more serious.

The fight against a skin defect that appears due to dilated blood vessels should consist of surgical manipulations and drug treatment. Prescription of drugs should be carried out exclusively by a professional doctor, taking into account the characteristics of the body of each individual patient.

Surgical procedures include:

  1. Phlebectomy, which is a common procedure that involves removing a vein. It allows you to redistribute blood flow to deep vessels that can withstand heavy loads. It is carried out only under anesthesia.
  2. Adhesive obliteration and sclerotherapy, during which various compounds are introduced into the capillary to promote gluing of the walls. This leads to the disappearance of the varicose area. Operations are characterized by high speed.
  3. Endovasal laser coagulation and radiofrequency ablation, during which the vessel is heated to a temperature above 100 degrees. This provokes the destruction of its internal walls and its subsequent disappearance.

In order to decide how to remove spider veins on the legs or other areas of the human body, you need to make an appointment with a highly qualified specialist. By contacting our Yuzhny clinic, you can count on a professional examination and selection of treatment methods that will be effective in your particular case.

Prevention

Preventive measures should be applied to the underlying disease - cirrhosis, since the stars are only a symptom.

In order to avoid the occurrence of pathology, it is recommended:

  • Refusal of alcoholic drinks.
  • Protection against infection with hepatitis B and C viruses. Preventive vaccinations, protected sexual contacts, control over blood and plasma transfusions, and personal hygiene are used.
  • Protection against parasitic infections. Compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards, processing of vegetables and fruits. Antiparasitic therapy.
  • Protection from toxic effects. Refusal from uncontrolled use of medications, respiratory protection in hazardous industries.
  • Control of the cardiovascular system.
  • Maintaining a gentle diet.

Spider veins in liver cirrhosis are a reason to sound the alarm and consult a doctor immediately. Together with other signs, this is an indication that it is time to urgently begin treatment.

It's all due to hormones

One of the main factors provoking the development of spider veins is a hormonal imbalance in the body.

Restructuring of the endocrine system occurs in the following conditions:

  • pregnancy;
  • menopause;
  • uterine fibroids;
  • ovarian cyst;
  • abortion and others.

Pregnant women complain about the appearance of vascular “spiders” in the face, legs and abdomen precisely in the last stages of pregnancy. This is due to increased stress on weakened blood vessels. They stretch under the influence of pressure inside themselves and protrude above the surface of the skin.

Telangiectasia often affects the skin after taking birth control pills or installing a hormonal IUD. That is why the selection of contraceptives should be carried out by a gynecologist based on the results of the examination. If a woman notices scarlet stars on her chest, then this is a reason to contact a mammologist or oncologist. Breast cancer at an early stage can manifest itself with these symptoms.
