PRODUCTS FOR BROKEN CAILLARIES / VEINS

Superficial veins can occur on the skin's surface at any time on the face or the legs, and can vary in size and shape. These veins can be known as: spider veins, telangiectasias, spider angiomas or benign vascular lesions. 

Broken veins begin as tiny capillaries and appear as small red, blue or purple dot that grows into a vein and commonly appears on the surface of the thighs, calves, and ankles. 

Veins can be isolated, with “feeder” veins or with larger underlying varicose veins, they may appear in a spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a central point, they may be in a linear pattern that appears as some thin, separate lines or can appear in a pattern that resembles branches on a tree

Broken veins can be unsightly and therefore a cosmetic concern or may cause aching, heaviness, itching and night cramps.

Why do broken veins occur?

Superficial veins are caused by: heredity, pregnancy, hormonal factors, weight gain, occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing, and trauma.
