Vein cracks in the skin occur due to the cracking of capillaries. Capillaries are the thinnest vessels in the body. These vessels, whose lengths vary between 5 and 10 micrometers, provide connections between arteries and veins. Cracking of capillaries, which are the blood vessels that most commonly connect with tissues, occurs as a result of openings and tears in the weak points of these vessels. These cracks, which are formed when the blood under the skin comes to the surface, appear as small bruises. It occurs mostly on the face, nose, legs, throat and feet. Although genetic effects are very effective in these formations, poor lifestyle, burns, blows, etc. may result in vascular cracks on the skin.

Causes of Cracks in Skin Veins

Vein cracks in the skin are caused by the valves in the veins not working. The blood in the body and feet is carried to the heart by veins. It has one-way valves that prevent backflow of blood. Diseases, injuries or traumas may result in the weakening of these valves. This causes blood circulation to deteriorate. Blood collects in veins. In general, the following factors can be considered among the causes of capillary cracks:

* Pregnancy and genetic factors

* Excessive standing and sitting, exposure to too much sunlight

* Exposure to atmospheric factors such as wind, heat, cold

* Surgical operations and consuming too much alcohol

* Taking medications that dilate blood vessels, long-term use of topical corticosteroids

* Rose disease

As a result of such vascular cracks in the skin, spider web-like formations may occur.

Treatment Methods for Cracks in Skin Veins

Before treating cracked veins in the skin, it should be checked whether there are problems such as varicose veins. If there is no problem with the treatment, treatments can be performed with radiofrequency and sclerotherapy. Treatments in this area can also be applied with laser. Appropriate capillary crack treatment is determined by looking at the general condition of the patient and the structure of the cracks. Laser treatments are more comfortable than other methods. Effective success can also be achieved as a result of applications using pain relief and cooling techniques. Laser devices are recommended especially for capillary treatment on the face. In this way, a more comfortable treatment process can be achieved.
