The name of the capillary phrase in the medical language is telnjiectasia. Due to the increase in the diameter of the thin veins, the veins expand and become visible on the skin surface. Enlarged veins in this way can be anywhere in the body. It occurs mostly in the legs and face. Capillary enlargement, which is common in the society, is more common in light-skinned and thin-skinned individuals. Among the main causes are environmental factors. In addition to these, you may be exposed to vascular enlargement problems due to the following reasons:
- too much sun exposure
- Long-term use of the contraceptive pill
- Taking hormone therapy
- Using long-term cortisone creams
- Some internal diseases also trigger the formation of capillaries.
Causes of Formation of Capillaries
In the formation of capillaries, there is a genetic inability of the veins to carry the blood in the body to the heart. With the effect of gravity, blood pools in the legs and veins are formed in this way. Structurally, such problems are more common in women. In addition, problems such as sitting for a long time by hanging the legs, standing too much, and heat increase are counted among the causes of capillary formation. Occupation is very important in this field. In this way, the problems of enlargement of the veins are very common in professionals who stand a lot. On the other hand, acne scars, some drugs used, and long-term use of steroids can also cause an increase in capillaries in facial redness.
Lasers Used in Capillary Treatment
QS NdYAG and NdYAG laser are used in capillary treatment. The laser devices used pass through the capillaries and affect the oxyhemoglobin in the blood. This material will coagulate with laser heat. With the damage and damage of the vein wall, it is lost in the veins. As the vein expands, the amount of blood in it also increases. Laser is an effective method in these veins, which are treated more easily than thin veins. In the application, the surrounding tissues will not be damaged. The capillary line is under laser light throughout the process. During the temporary treatment of capillaries, the disappearance of the vessels is possible. Color change is an indication that the laser is effective.
