What Causes Broken Capillaries?
Several factors can contribute to the development of broken capillaries, including:
- Aging: As we age, our skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity. This process can make the blood vessels more visible and more likely to break.
- Sun Damage: Prolonged and excessive exposure to the sun can damage the skin and the tiny blood vessels within it. Ultraviolet (UV) light weakens the walls of the capillaries, making them more prone to breaking.
- Extreme Temperature Changes: Sudden temperature changes, like moving from a warm environment to a cold one, can cause the capillaries to expand and contract rapidly. This can weaken their walls and lead to breakage.
- Skin Trauma: Injury or trauma to the skin, including squeezing pimples or aggressive scrubbing, can cause broken capillaries.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, or due to birth control pills can also lead to the development of broken capillaries.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as rosacea or autoimmune diseases, can increase the likelihood of developing broken capillaries.
- Pressure: Standing for long periods, heavy lifting, or anything that puts prolonged pressure on the legs or face can lead to broken capillaries.
Understanding these causes can help prevent and manage broken capillaries. While some factors, like genetics and aging, are beyond control, others like sun protection and managing lifestyle factors can help minimize their appearance.
