Face Vein Treatments

Red Veins On Face? Broken or dilated capillaries are caused by stress, cold weather, smoking, or drinking and are commonly located around the nose and around the cheeks. These are also called spider veins. Spider veins are very thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Broken capillaries can be faint red lines and sometime develop in a circle like a spider web.

When capillary walls narrow and widen too quickly, it causes the muscles in the walls to tear which enables the blood to seep out resulting in broken capillaries. Dry or sensitive skin often provides less protection are the most commonly affected. Here are some other causes of broken capillaries; if possible avoid these to help prevent them:

• Sunburn (not wearing sunscreen)
• Wind burn from wind blowing on the face (riding motorcycle or driving cars without a roof)
• Pressure from glasses pressing on the nose (if possible try making adjustments to your glasses)
• Relocating from one extreme temperature to another
