What are they?

Technically, Telangiectasia are blood vessels that are red, purple, or blue and appear on the surface of the skin of the face, upper chest, and neck. They resemble spider veins, which appear on the legs. These veins are not important to bodily function, so removal of them may provide a better sense of self-esteem.

Where do they come from?

Telangiectasia may come from various sources. Genetics may reveal a predisposition toward Telangiectasia, and pregnancy may also encourage their growth (since your body is changing and stress is put on the veins as it does so).

External factors may also contribute to Telangiectasia, such as exposure to sun and wind, trauma to the skin, use of medications that widen blood vessels, surgical incisions, or even excessive alcohol use.

How do I treat them?

Unfortunately, because Telangiectasia are veins, there are not many treatment options. Especially if you are looking to treat yourself at home, you will not be too lucky.
