Causes
In addition to genetic predisposition, rosacea is provoked by many other factors that should be avoided so that capillary blood flow is not disturbed:
- Disturbances in the functioning of blood vessels. Capillaries (the smallest vessels) are located on the face very close to the skin, so even minor problems can cause them to become visible. It is noteworthy that the vascular network on the face appears on the nose, cheeks and chin - those areas that are most often exposed to environmental factors.
- Stress. Emotional changes and nervous breakdowns provoke an increase in pressure, which disrupts the normal functioning of blood vessels, and sooner or later will lead to rosacea.
- Hot, spicy food is an ally of capillary fragility.
- Smoking. This habit negatively affects the functioning of the entire circulatory system, causing rosacea.
- Alcohol. Alcoholic drinks, especially red wines, have a vasodilating effect on the skin, which will sooner or later affect the condition of the epidermis.
- Thin and dry facial skin. It is not for nothing that cosmetologists insist that a person with thin and dry facial skin needs to regularly carry out procedures that will improve its structure. Typically, this category of people also has problems with the walls of blood vessels - they become fragile and inelastic.
- Hot chocolate, coffee. These foods have a stimulating effect on blood circulation, so it is better to exclude them from the diet altogether.
- Ultraviolet. Direct sunlight and solariums damage the capillaries on the skin.
- Temperature changes. In order not to provoke rosacea on the skin, you should not live in an aggressive climate, wipe your face with ice, jump into wormwood from a steam room, and so on.
Dryness and flaking always accompany rosacea. Stagnating in the capillaries, the blood does not supply the skin cells with the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients, and poorly removes metabolic products from them. As a result, the cells begin to divide and renew the top layer of skin more slowly, it becomes thinner and dries out, wrinkles appear, and the complexion acquires a pale grayish tint.
If you are predisposed to rosacea, start preventing the disease as early as possible, preferably from the age of 15. Avoid factors that provoke rosacea. It is worth paying close attention to your children’s skin and teaching them how to care for it from a young age.
Spider veins and redness. Before and after
Spider veins and redness can be of different shapes and locations on the face. Sometimes it’s a star on the nose, and sometimes there’s a sort of painful blush on the cheeks. And the desire to remove such a mark is understandable, because the foundation does not always cover this vascular feature.
Procedures using the IPL system allow you to do this in 1-4 visits. The number of procedures depends on the severity of the process and the individual characteristics of the skin. The interval between procedures is 3-5 weeks; it is better to plan them for the autumn-winter period (spring to April).
Recovery time is 1-3 days, redness and swelling are possible after the procedure. Immediately after, you can apply light makeup.

How to treat?
To get rid of the cosmetic defect in question, you need to follow the step-by-step treatment of rosacea:
- The use of agents with an anti-rosacea effect.
- Determine the causes of rosacea. If you can’t do this on your own, then it would be advisable to seek help from doctors - they will prescribe a full examination of the body and quickly establish possible causes.
- Lifestyle correction. This means giving up smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages, physical activity (at least doing morning exercises), limiting prolonged exposure to baths, saunas and cold air.
- Correction of diet. We are talking about excluding chocolate, alcoholic beverages, hot and spicy foods, cheeses, fatty dairy products, pickles and marinades from the menu.
- Taking vitamin-mineral complexes. Such preparations must contain a complex of polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins P, K, C and silicon. It would be advisable to first consult with a cardiologist - such vitamin and mineral complexes strengthen the walls of blood vessels and improve heart function, so they need to be selected individually.
- Strengthening vascular walls. Rutin, grape seed oil, collagen, blueberry, echinacea, chestnut, and myrtle extracts will definitely help you cope with this task.
- Use of professional procedures. We are talking about laser therapy, sclerotherapy, ozone therapy and electrocoagulation - these procedures are performed either in beauty salons or in specialized clinics.
To all of the above recommendations, you can add treatment at home. Such an integrated approach helps to quickly get rid of vascular networks on the face, and this is the solution to the problem.
