Spider veins: causes
The reasons for the appearance of vascular patterns on the skin are varied.
- Venous insufficiency. According to experts, this reason in most cases concerns men. Stagnation of blood in the lower body leads to the formation of a mesh.
- Hormonal Disorders. This factor, which mainly affects women, can manifest itself against the background of thyroid diseases, gynecological problems, and abortions. If the pattern on the skin appears during pregnancy, it may disappear by itself after childbirth, after 6-7 weeks.
- Use oral contraceptives can also provoke the appearance of asterisks.
- Heredity. Congenital weak connective tissue syndrome manifests itself as a capillary pattern on the skin.
- Diseases of the heart and liver lead to the formation of spider veins.
- Lack of vitamin C. This vitamin is responsible for the permeability of the walls of the capillaries, so its lack makes them weak and fragile, which leads to their damage.
Spider veins on the face
On the face asterisks most often form in the nose or cheeks. The shape of the pattern formed by damaged capillaries can be varied from single lines to complex arachnid forms. Localization of asterisks on the face occurs only in 30% of cases. Moreover, most of it falls on the female half.
The manifestation of a capillary pattern on the face does not mean any serious illness, but they can very much spoil the appearance. Therefore, you still have to fight them. First, determine which group your stars belong to:
- arterial - form a large red capillary network;
- capillary - appear in the form of a thin mesh;
- venous - appears in the form of large plexuses. In some cases, the vessels can extend beyond the surface of the skin.
According to the form of the formation of the pattern, the stars are divided:
- point;
- tree-like;
- linear;
- arachnids.
When a tree-like pattern appears on the face, it speaks of rosacea, a cosmetic disease.
Spider veins on the legs
The manifestation of the vascular pattern on the legs is associated with damage to the capillary network. Vessels swell and appear above the surface of the skin. According to statistics, this problem mainly affects the male half of the population. Moreover, among women, fair-haired girls are more likely to see capillary patterns on their legs.
There are many reasons for the manifestation of varicose veins of the legs:
- heredity;
- diseases of the heart, thyroid gland, liver;
- hormonal disruptions;
- age-related changes;
- long exposure to the sun;
- large and regular load on the legs;
- excess weight;
- bad habits;
- numerous skin injuries or vein diseases.
Disease is always easier to prevent than to cure, so as a preventive measure, pay attention to the following precautions to help you avoid the formation of asterisks on your feet:
- try not to be in the open sun for a long time;
- give preference to loose clothing in the wardrobe;
- limit wearing high-heeled shoes;
- watch your weight and physical activity;
- if you have to stand for a long time, regularly change the position of your legs;
- in the evenings, do cool foot baths;
- Move more (walking, cycling, swimming).
Treatment of spider veins
For the treatment of vascular diseases in clinics, various methods are used, depending on the stage of the disease:
- sclerotherapy;
- electrocoagulation;
- ozone therapy;
- laser treatment;
- radio wave therapy and many others.
One of the most popular among the proposed methods is electrocoagulation. During the procedure, the specialist applies a high-frequency current to the damaged area.
Sclerotherapy consists in introducing a special solution into the vessels, which glues the walls, as a result of which the penetration of blood to the vessel becomes impossible, and the mesh disappears. After the procedure, you must wear special underwear. The vascular pattern disappears completely after the procedure after 2 months. Today this method is the most effective.
Radio wave treatment is carried out using a special apparatus that will allow the coagulation of blood vessels using radio waves. The method is very effective in the presence of single capillaries.
During ozone therapy, a special solution containing ozone is injected into the vessels, which destroys the damaged vessels and the stars disappear without leaving any traces.
Removal of spider veins with a laser
Separately, I would like to note the method of treating stars with a laser. The specialist acts on the affected area with a device, under the influence of which the vessel glues and the mesh disappears. The laser, acting on the affected area, does not affect healthy blood vessels. The greatest effect of the procedure can be achieved if you use a laser to get rid of small capillaries.
