What are broken veins?

Broken or spider veins (otherwise known as telangectasia) predominantly appear around the nose and cheek area on the face and can be significantly visible through the skin, particularly when appearing on lighter skin tones. These visible veins develop due to the permanent dilation and consequent widening of superficial capillaries, due to increased pressure and weakening vessel walls, often in the context of sun damage.

Broken veins are caused by a myriad of factors and can be hard to avoid. Many catalysts are out of our control, linked to genetic predisposition, hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause and ageing. Environmental and lifestyle factors additionally play a part, namely excessive sun exposure and smoking, which can damage the blood vessel walls, surrounding tissue and reduce collagen and elastin support, making them prone to dilation.

Whilst broken veins can be difficult to avoid and lead to an uneven skin tone, they don’t need to remain as permanent on the face and are treatable. Get in touch below to chat about which treatments would be best suited for you.
