Vascular asterisks on the face are small pathologically dilated vessels located near the surface of the skin, which became noticeable due to the increase in its diameter. Unfortunately, this deficiency is persistent, since the vessel can not dissolve or disappear by itself, treatment is required.
Causes
Mostly, the vascular asterisks on the face appear on the bridge of the nose, chin and cheeks. The reasons for their formation are diverse:
- obesity;
- heredity;
- consumption of alcohol and spicy food;
- violation of the hormonal background;
- temperature differences;
- pregnancy;
- smoking;
- frequent stress;
- excess ultraviolet.
In general, the treatment of vascular asterisks is required for those who own a sensitive skin, which has a delicate and delicate structure.
Skin care
If you first noticed a vascular star, you can try to bring them out at home, without resorting to hardware procedures. First, it is necessary to exclude risk factors that provoke their occurrence. Also, buy and use special medicines for sensitive skin. Since the main task of the creams that help you remove the spider veins on your face is to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels, they should contain:
- vitamin P - it reduces the "fragility" of blood vessels and increases resistance to harmful environmental factors;
- vitamin K - reduces the permeability of the vascular wall, increasing its strength;
- vitamin C - has a good vasoconstrictive effect and takes part in the formation of collagen, which strengthens the weakened capillaries.
In addition, the cream against the vascular asterisks should not contain a gram of honey, aloe, alcohol, menthol, mint, eucalyptus and clove oil. Fruit acids can deplete the already thin epidermis, so watch closely that they are not included in the composition. Before going out, always remember that you need to apply a protective cream on your skin. It must necessarily contain rutin, arnica extract and peanut butter. In the summer, it is better to give preference to those products that have a high sunscreen factor.
You can prepare the cream yourself. We need to take equal parts of birch leaves, St. John's wort, hops, lavender flowers, sage leaves, Icelandic moss. Grind and mix 3 tbsp. spoons of this collection, pour them 100 ml of boiling water, boil on a water bath for 5 minutes. The resulting mixture to strain and grind, until you get a thick gruel. It is applied to a previously cleaned face for 15 minutes, washed off with warm water.
To reduce the redness and fragility of the vessels, you can prepare a mask from equal parts of grape seed oil, extracts from cypress seeds, kalgan extract, blueberry, needle, wild myrtle, olives and mimosa. All ingredients are mixed and applied to the face for 15-20 minutes no more than 2 times a week.
Hardware Methods
Remove the spider veins on the face with electrocoagulation. This is a procedure in which the beautician "cauterizes" the enlarged vessels with a special thin electrode. More recently, such a method has been the most effective, but tender skin after an electrical attack can react differently and electrocoagulation of vascular asterisks in some cases provokes the appearance of scarring and pigmented spots. Today, ozone therapy and laser photocoagulation are more popular. They are less traumatic and lead to the complete and complete disappearance of the spider veins.
