Broken capillaries are enlarged blood vessels that occur just underneath the skin. These broken blood vessels appear as red spider veins on the surface. These veins usually appear around the nose, cheeks, and chin.
Causes
Anyone can of any age develop broken blood vessels on the face. There are some commonly known causes including
Genetics: If a person in your family has spider veins, you are more likely to have them too.
Sun exposure: Sun damage can cause blood vessels to enlarge, resulting in spider veins.
Changes in weather: Drastic changes in the weather can affect the blood flow in the body, causing the facial skin to flush. The blood vessels may burst, causing a spider vein.
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, many women experience broken blood vessels on their face due to hormonal changes. Fortunately, the facial veins will typically go away after they give birth.
Rosacea: People with rosacea are more likely to develop broken capillaries.
Alcohol consumption: Frequent consumption of alcohol can lead to long-lasting broken blood vessels and redness on the face.
