Unlike varicose veins, spider veins in Singapore never remain underneath your skin in your legs, calves, and ankle. Spider veins can also develop on your face.
Spider veins are broken blood vessels that appear as small and thin red or purple lines spread in a web-like form. They do not bulge but rather remain flat. They are typically painless and considered a cosmetic issue. Like varicose veins treatment, you can get a spider vein treatment in Singapore whenever.
Here are the factors that increase your risk of developing spider veins on the face:
1. Pregnancy
During pregnancy, women experience fluctuating hormones. A sudden spike in estrogen can be leeway to spider veins on the face. Additionally, child delivery aggravates spider veins as women exert beyond normal force, putting pressure on the blood vessels in the head. Your vein doctor might tell you not to worry much as most spider veins disappear after pregnancy.
2. Sun damage
When you suffer from sunburn, your skin typically peels off dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, top layer. Blood vessels are more apparent on this new layer of the skin. Furthermore, blood vessels dilate more under sun exposure.
3. Sneezing and vomiting
Similar to giving birth, people exert force when they sneeze and vomit. It puts pressure on the face, causing the thin blood vessels to break. Frequent sneezing and vomiting may lead to the development of spider veins in Singapore.
4. Family history
There are still ongoing studies on how genetic factors affect the likelihood of developing spider veins. Weak veins, a contributing factor to many venous issues, are inherited. If you have a family history of varicose veins and spider veins, you are likely to develop one at some point in your life.
5. Alcohol consumption
An alcohol flush reaction happens when a person's face and neck turn pink or red after consuming alcohol. Apart from indicating trouble with digesting alcohol, the flush also causes your blood vessels to enlarge.
