Redness, Broken Capillaries & Rosacea Treatment in Melbourne
Many people struggle with facial redness caused by common conditions such as rosacea and broken capillaries. Rosacea is a long-term skin condition which causes persistent redness and flushing on areas of the face. Broken capillaries appear as small red or purple lines on the skin which may also cause discomfort.
If you’re seeking treatment for rosacea on the face, broken capillaries, or general redness, our rosacea treatment clinic has a range of treatment options available to solve your concerns.
What Are the Causes?
Broken capillaries – also commonly known as ‘spider veins’ – occur due to over-dilation of the blood vessels. Broken capillaries on the face can affect the lips, nose, eyes and cheeks. This can be caused by hormones, medical conditions, exposure to the sun, genetics and pregnancy. Broken capillaries on the legs are also very common and usually appear as small red or purple lines on the skin.
Lifestyle, hereditary and environmental factors are the most likely causes of rosacea. The condition occurs more commonly for individuals with fair skin and genetic predisposition. There are different sub-types of rosacea, including Papulopustular rosacea and acne rosacea.
The most common causes include:
- Hot drinks and spicy foods
- Alcohol and caffeine
- Temperature changes
- Exposure to sun and wind
- Stress
- Exercise
- Certain medications and cosmetics
- Pregnancy
- Injuries
