Vascular skin is one of the more troublesome afflictions that primarily affects aesthetics. Among Poles, the problem of bursting capillaries is very common. Perhaps it is due to a very fair complexion, or genetically determined, nevertheless, it can effectively lower self-confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance, and unsightly spider veins and erythemas can appear on the face at any time. In the case of vascular skin care is extremely important, and vascular closure is also effective.
Vascular skin characteristics
In terms of vascular skin, the characteristics are very simple. A prominent feature of this type of skin is a tendency to burst blood vessels, which manifests itself in the form of “spider veins,” redness, micro-infusions and erythema. In addition, vascular skin is extremely sensitive, and even the smallest external factor can affect a broken capillary. This type of skin is especially giving in autumn and winter. With a sudden change in environment from cold to warm, blood vessels can burst and redness can form very quickly. It is difficult to pinpoint a direct cause of the tendency to burst blood vessels, most often it is simply genetic. However, the worsening of the problem can also be influenced by:
- Hormonal disorders (excessive estrogen production),
- Rapid changes in temperature,
- Overexposure to the sun,
- unfavorable diet (spicy condiments),
- Frequent use of hot baths, use of saunas and steam baths,
- Consuming large amounts of alcohol (especially red wine).
The presence of the above factors, as well as excessive stress, high physical exertion and, to top it off, genetic susceptibility, all contribute to the deterioration of vascular skin.
Vascular skin care
In the case of vascular skin, attention should be paid to proper care. Above all, avoid drying preparations, those containing alcohol, and products that cause irritation. Special care should also be taken when exfoliating the epidermis. Enzymatic scrubs will work better for this problem than mechanical ones. Unfortunately, capillaries are characterized by high visibility, it is difficult to hide them even under a very opaque foundation, so it is best to implement a vascular closure process. This is the only effective method of eliminating visible redness on the face, which additionally avoids a recurring problem.
Vascular skin treatments
For major skin problems, it is better not to act on your own and rely on consultation with specialists. These recommend, in the case of vascular skin, laser treatments that will safely but effectively close the capillaries and significantly reduce skin problems. One of the laser vascular closure treatments is Thunder MT. This device has two laser beams – an alexandrite laser and a neodymium-yag laser – which influence the enhancement of the effects, while ensuring safety. In addition, the device is equipped with a cooling system that provides comfort and significantly reduces the pain that can be felt during the procedure.
Effects of laser treatments
Laser treatment of vascular skin is very precise, the laser beam catches only the blood vessels, affecting only them. Usually one treatment is necessary, although it can be repeated if necessary. Immediately after the laser action, swelling and redness may appear, but after a recovery period of up to 2 weeks, the skin condition improves and the problem of broken capillaries disappears.
