Red Vein Removal in Saffron Walden
What are Red Veins and broken blood vessels?
Red Veins, or Broken blood vessels is another name for thread veins; clinically referred to as telangiectasia rosacea.
Broken blood vessels are tiny blood vessels that start to become visible near to the surface of the skin. They often appear as streaks or blotches on the skin and are normally red or blue in colour.
Broken capillaries or blood vessels unfortunately do not heal or fade over time. Although they are not dangerous to health, many dislike the appearance of them and seek treatment.
What causes thread veins on the face?
Facial spider veins or broken capillaries are commonly caused by genetics, They can also be caused by hormone changes, sun exposure and injuries to the area. For example if you have a cold, the pressure of blowing your nose can cause an injury and that can result in the vein bursting resulting into spider veins.
