Facial redness, scientifically known as telangiectasia, is mainly caused by the continuous expansion and rupture of capillaries, and the skin will appear spotty, filamentous, reticular or star-shaped red blood streaks.
Why do I have red blood on my face?
The disease is divided into primary telangiectasia and secondary telangiectasia.
Primary telangiectasia is mainly related to genetics.
The causes of secondary telangiectasia are as follows:
1. Environmental factors
Hot and cold stimuli, wind and sun exposure may cause telangiectasia, so people who work outdoors for a long time are prone to redness. People living in highland areas who are exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time can also have red or purplish skin color.
2. Hormone dependence
Long-term use of hormonal ointments increases the fragility of capillaries, making them easy to rupture and cause redness.
3. Improper skin care
The use of skin care products with irritating ingredients, self-brushing acid, or the use of "three no-products" produced by unscrupulous merchants may damage the skin barrier, thereby inducing redness.
4. Pregnancy
During pregnancy, blood circulation throughout the body is accelerated, capillaries dilate, and hormone levels fluctuate greatly during pregnancy, all of which can induce telangiectasia.
5. Local or systemic diseases
Acne, dermatitis, cirrhosis, cor pulmonale, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, varicose veins, wounds, surgical incisions, etc. can cause telangiectasia.
How to get rid of redness?
▶ Primary telangiectasia
If it is primary telangiectasia, that is, congenital redness, it is difficult to eliminate with skin care products, and the most effective way is to use photoelectric therapy in medical beauty to improve, such as dye laser, intense pulsed light, 532nm KTP laser, 1064nm Nd: YAG laser, E light, etc.
▶ Secondary telangiectasia
If it is an environmental factor or red blood caused by improper skin care, first repair the barrier function of the skin, use mild skin care products, do a good job of moisturizing, repairing, sun protection, and wait until the skin condition is stable, you can cooperate with photoelectric therapy to improve.
If it is redness caused by the disease or hormone-dependent dermatitis, you should consult a doctor first, treat the cause, and then choose photoelectric therapy to improve the symptoms of redness.
Finally, I want to remind everyone that no matter what type of redness you are, you must pay attention to protection, avoid wind and sun, avoid being stimulated by high temperature or cold, and do a good job of moisturizing and sun protection of the skin, otherwise even if the redness subsides, it may appear again.
