Broken Capillaries

search providers

Blood vessels, specifically capillaries, are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. They deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and remove waste products. Broken capillaries, or telangiectasia or spider veins, refer to dilated or enlarged blood vessels visible on the skin’s surface.

Causes of Broken Capillaries

Genetics

Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having weak blood vessels, making them more prone to breakage.

Sun Exposure

Overexposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can weaken the walls of blood vessels, leading to their dilation and breakage.

Aging

As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and support structures, making blood vessels more visible.

Skin Trauma/Injury

Injuries to the skin, such as cuts, burns, or trauma, can damage blood vessels and result in their visibility.

Rosacea

A common skin condition characterized by facial redness, rosacea can cause blood vessels to dilate and become visible.
