Broken Capillaries
Broken capillaries are enlarged blood vessels just beneath the skin’s surface, appearing as fine red lines most often around the nose, cheeks, and chin. Anyone, at any age, can develop them, and once they’ve formed, treatment is the only way to clear them.
How It Happens
Understanding
Broken Capillaries
Genetics matters here just as it does with many vascular conditions: if a family member has spider veins, you’re more likely to develop them, too. Sun exposure damages blood vessels and can cause them to enlarge. Drastic weather changes affect blood flow throughout the body, causing facial flushing that can lead vessels to burst. Pregnancy brings hormonal changes that commonly cause broken blood vessels on the face, though these typically resolve after delivery. Rosacea makes patients more prone to developing broken capillaries. Frequent alcohol consumption can lead to long-lasting broken vessels and redness over time.
Prevention
Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily protects against one of the most common triggers. Using a gentle exfoliant, rather than a harsh scrub, and keeping skin consistently hydrated, especially in winter with a treatment like Hydrafacial, both support skin resilience. Washing your face with warm water, rather than hot or cold, also helps avoid unnecessary irritation.
