Beautiful legs should not only be slender, but also have smooth and smooth skin. If you have capillaries bursting on your legs, the second requirement is quite difficult to meet. Purple, red or bluish vascular “stars” cover the skin with a painful web. The scientific name for this phenomenon is telangiectasia.
What is the reason for this?
Vessels become visible to the naked eye as a result of circulatory problems. Blood flows to the heart from the legs despite the force of gravity due to the operation of small valves that prevent movement in the opposite direction. When the valves are not functioning, the blood circulates incorrectly and after some time the capillaries on the legs become visible. Damage to blood vessels can also cause the habit of sitting "leg over foot". Another factor is old age - with age, the walls of blood vessels become thinner and weaker. The problem is especially acute in those who have a genetic tendency to such a disease. During pregnancy, the body encounters hormonal fluctuations and an increase in body weight, as a result of which capillaries on the legs can also burst.
Hormones can cause such a problem in adolescents during puberty, and in women during menopause. Finally, it affects the beauty of the skin of the legs and lifestyle. Inadequate physical activity, overweight, injuries, the use of birth control pills also weaken the capillaries on the legs.
Disease prevention
To get rid of such a cosmetic defect as noticeable damaged capillaries on the legs, you need to provide blood the ability to circulate in the body correctly. This is facilitated by regular physical activity, swimming and walking, control over your own sitting posture - do not cross your legs and squeeze your knees so as not to block blood circulation. If the work involves a long stay in a sitting or standing position, pay attention to compression stockings or tights. They stimulate good blood circulation. More fruits and vegetables with vitamins C and K should be included in the diet, as they help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels.
A cream with the same vitamins helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels and relieves
swelling of the legs.How to remove damaged leg capillaries
If the damage already takes up a considerable area and causes discomfort, it is worth contacting the clinic for their removal. The main methods are laser therapy and sclerotherapy. The laser acts on the capillaries on the legs so that they close. Small defects from this disappear immediately, while larger ones will require several sessions. During sclerotherapy, a special fluid or foam is injected into the vessels to glue them. This method has been used for a long time and managed to prove itself. The needle for the procedure is used so thin that the process goes virtually without pain. The capillaries on the legs disappear immediately after injection. However, this is not the final effect. After a few days, capillaries on the legs again become visible - inflammation occurs in the inner walls. When it passes, the skin finally acquires an even shade without a vascular network.
