Broken Blood Vessels Around the Nose
The appearance of broken blood vessels around the nose can instantly make you self-conscious. Lines and wrinkles are one thing, but splotchy red lines are far more noticeable. These markings don’t have to be permanent with personalized cosmetic dermatology from Natural Beauty Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, where board-certified nurse practitioner Charles Jovellano administers specialized beauty treatments to make broken blood vessels less visible.
People Likely to Develop Broken Blood Vessels Around the Nose
As with all types of skin conditions, some people are more prone to develop certain problems, and it’s no different when it comes to broken blood vessels around the nose and cheeks. Though broken blood vessels, commonly known as spider veins, are often found on the legs, they can appear on the face. They are most likely to show up around the nose and cheeks. The usual suspects include:
- People with rosacea: The common skin condition causes flushing and redness and often leads to other complications.
- People with light skin tone: The fairer the skin, the easier it is to see broken blood vessels.
- Someone with excess sun damage: Soaking up the sun without protection may not be visible right away but it will eventually.
- Binge drinkers: Excess alcohol consumption dilates blood vessels and can lead to high blood pressure and broken vessels.
- Pregnant women: Common and harmless, vessels can dilate because of increased blood flow, pressure on blood vessels, and hormone changes in pregnancy.
Common Causes of Spider Veins on the Face
There are obvious and not-so-obvious risk factors for developing broken blood vessels on the face. Some things you can avoid. Others simply occur because of DNA or lifestyle choices. Causes can include any of the following:
- Genetics: Broken blood vessels on the face run in families.
- Age: The older you get, the more your risk factors increase.
- Sun exposure: Excess sun exposure without sunscreen can enlarge blood vessels and a sunburn may cause more visible blood vessels.
- Environment: Chemical irritants or hot weather can increase the likelihood of dilated blood vessels.
- Sneezing or vomiting: Extreme pressure in your face from violent vomiting or sneezing can break blood vessels in the face.
MedSpa Treatments for Broken Blood Vessels Around the Nose
Quite often, the only real solution for true broken blood vessels is medical treatment, particularly cosmetic dermatology. When you visit your NYC med spa, be prepared to discuss:
- Laser therapy: A strong laser light fades spider veins completely by focusing on each poorly functioning vein.
- Intense pulse light (IPL): This non-invasive solution is powerful and penetrates the skin in the targeted area without harming the top layer, reducing the appearance of broken blood vessels significantly.
- Topical creams: Creams with retinoids have components that help treat rosacea and associated concerns like broken blood vessels.
Is Prevention of Facial Spider Veins Possible?
It’s not possible to eliminate the likelihood of developing broken blood vessels around the nose, but you can take steps to protect your skin and appearance:
- Limit sun exposure and wear sunscreen, especially on the nose.
- See a dermatologist if you have a skin condition like rosacea so you can control it.
- Avoid extreme heat, including hot baths and showers, saunas, and hot weather.
