Telangiectasias or Facial Spider Veins

What are Telangiectasias?

Telangiectasias or Facial Spider Veins
Are formed by the dilation of a small group of blood vessels located close to the surface of the skin. Although they can appear anywhere on the body, spider veins are most commonly found on the face and legs and look like red or purple sunbursts or web patterns. Spider veins are also referred to as telangiectasias or broken capillaries.

What Causes Telangiectasias?
No one knows for sure. They often occur in healthy people and are more common in women. States of high levels of estrogen can contribute, such as in pregnancy and in women on oral contraceptives. Telangiectasias are also common in patients with rosacea.
