What is Telangiectasia?

Visible spider veins on the nose and cheeks caused by dilated capillaries

Caused by rosacea, UV exposure, and temperature changes. Can be addressed with in-clinic vascular lasers (V-Beam, Excel V).

Main causes & characteristics

This condition is understood to involve the dilation of small blood vessels near the skin's surface, causing thread veins to become visible around the nose and on the cheeks. Rosacea, cumulative UV exposure, sudden temperature changes, and alcohol consumption are cited as factors associated with vascular dilation. The condition tends to be more visible in thin or fragile skin.

How to manage

Basic lifestyle management to minimize temperature fluctuations and UV exposure is generally recommended as a foundation. Sun protection and soothing skincare may help slow further dilation. If improvement is desired, consulting a dermatologist about in-clinic vascular laser care and similar options is advisable. If the condition spreads rapidly, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

Good to know alongside

This is frequently mentioned alongside rosacea, facial flushing, and sensitive skin. It is helpful to distinguish between transient flushing and persistently visible thread veins.

Everyday care tips

It is advisable to minimize triggers that cause the face to flush rapidly, such as saunas, hot water cleansing, and spicy foods.
