Removal of blood vessels on the nose with a laser is a popular cosmetic procedure that is equally often in demand among both men and women.
From a medical point of view, such a lesion is classified as rosacea. This is what is called the appearance on the skin of a pronounced capillary network, which in professional terminology is called teleagioectasia. Accompanied by an anomaly with localization on the nose, reddening of the surrounding tissues.
It is believed that the cause for such an ailment is a violation of normal blood circulation, as well as the loss of the usual elasticity of the vascular walls. As soon as the vessels expand significantly and become more brittle, this provokes external defects with varying degrees of damage.
The primary sources of the disease are different reasons, but often the snag here is in an innate predisposition. This is confirmed by the numerous reviews of patients who applied for qualified help on a given issue.
What are the dangers of prominent vessels on the nose
In most clinical situations, victims of localized rosacea are light, thin, especially sensitive skin. And even after the occurrence of such a deviation, they continue to believe that this is only an aesthetic problem.
Doctors recommend that before you go to remove the lesion with a laser device, be sure to find the source of the disease. Only after working on its neutralization will it be possible to fix a successful external result for a long time. Otherwise, the percentage probability of subsequent relapses will be too high, making all the efforts of the victim absolutely in vain.
Some people try to remove ugly areas using tinting agents for this. But such self-activity will not lead to anything good. The disadvantage must be cured from the inside, and then gradually get rid of external negative symptoms.
It is worth remembering that if the area of inflammation has a vast territory, this increases the risks of affecting the stable functioning of deep vessels. In the future, this will negatively affect the work of blood circulation as a whole, and not just the affected area.
Due to the fact that the skin will no longer receive enough oxygen, and will not be able to take nutrients, it will begin to age an order of magnitude faster. A person is faced with wrinkles even at an early age, he is also haunted by an unhealthy complexion, which does not add aesthetics.
To avoid the most unfortunate turn of events, experts recommend using laser treatment for rosacea on the nose. Today, this method is called almost the only option that allows you to radically and in a short time solve the problem that has arisen.
Popularity is added to it by the fact that the installation successfully copes with both small single expressions of the disease, and extensive lesions. The device will cope even in situations where several lesions have merged into one due to a long time ignoring the problem on the face.
Gradual development of the disease
In order for the impact to be the most productive, during the first appointment, the dermatologist must first determine at what stage of development the disease is.
Schematically, the entire course of the pathology can be divided into several steps:
- Elementary. The phase is characterized by pronounced irritation of the affected area, which is accompanied by characteristic itching. Also, the patient will be haunted by redness, burning. They appear as a result of the influence of cold, mechanical damage or hot water on the problem area.
- Middle. Here, the expansion of small vessels along the way leads to a loss of vascular elasticity.
- Attachment to the symptoms of the second level is also redness. The faster and stronger the anomaly progresses, the brighter the redness will be.
- Penultimate. Already here those same vascular asterisks appear in a person.
- Final. The state of vasodilation is fixed, as they have been in it long enough to fix a lasting effect. The stage is called telangiectasia.
The intervals between stages in all victims are different times, which depends on heredity and the individual characteristics of each organism.
Sources of defeat
At the preparatory stage, the dermatologist will without fail try to find the source of the disease. This is necessary for subsequent high-quality prevention. The only problem here is the not fully understood mechanism of the occurrence of rosacea itself, therefore, to find the real reason for its “awakening”, you will have to try.
The most common aggravating factors are:
- hereditary predisposition;
- negative impact of ultraviolet radiation;
- bad habits;
- improperly selected care products;
- temperature fluctuations.
Everything is clear with the first point, but doctors advise looking deeper into the family tree than just taking into account the appearance of the parents.
Scientists have proven that excessive exposure to direct sunlight does not lead to good. One of the body’s most common responses to such a disregard for the rules is the manifestation of rosacea on the nose.
Moreover, the algorithm applies not only to tanning on the beach or walking in the summer without a protective cream in the open. It is also about uncontrolled visits to the solarium, which encourages the skin to accelerate in its aging. Occurs due to the ability of ultraviolet radiation to affect the vascular walls, which soon ends with rosacea.
Not all patients who have diagnosed such a defect on the face believe that giving up bad habits will help reduce the risk of its recurrence in the same place. This is especially true for smoking situations.
The active ingredients of cigarettes adversely affect the overall activity of the cardiovascular system, reaching even the capillaries on the face. An equally dangerous provocative factor is the wrong choice of cosmetics, which contain dangerous components in abundance.
Instead of a positive effect on the skin, they only lead the skin to the fact that it becomes thinner much faster than it should be. Also, aggressive agents provoke dehydration of the epidermis, which causes destabilization of the vascular network. At the same time, it increases its susceptibility to many external negative factors.
Frostbite, caused by sudden changes in temperature, also often becomes the foundation for subsequent spider veins on the nose. Because of this, doctors strongly advise all people whose professional activities are associated with a long stay in a cold environment, be sure to use special protective creams.
Additional indirect reasons include:
- hormonal failures;
- the use of alcoholic beverages;
- chronic diseases.
The first aspect often covers pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, taking hormonal contraceptives, menopause and the use of special pills that are prescribed for endocrine diseases.
Alcohol does not add good statistics due to the fact that it has a vasodilating effect. Regular intake “on the chest” will certainly affect the appearance of the victim of the bottle. No wonder that for the prevention of rosacea, doctors advise to abandon such addiction.
Separately, a number of diseases are considered that are simply hiding behind such an external negative manifestation. This can be not only a failure of the cardiovascular system, but also a destabilization of the functioning of the liver. Occasionally, the gastrointestinal tract can signal its poor condition in such a strange way.
That is why experts advise not to start treatment until the victim has undergone a comprehensive examination. Otherwise, you can skip latent contraindications.
Advantages of the laser approach
The most important advantage of the method is painlessness. Even if the victim has a low pain threshold, this will not be a significant contraindication to the intervention. You just need to warn the doctor in advance so that he additionally uses a special cooling gel.
Then, instead of pain, a person will experience only a slight burning sensation, or feel nothing at all.
The medical event is in demand due to:
- security;
- efficiency;
- you were fast.
To ensure the safety of adherents of laser technology, the developers have specially worked to ensure that healthy tissues are not touched during the maintenance of the problem area.
This is how it turns out to achieve a really high-precision impact, like “jewelry work” and at the same time level the risks:
- burns;
- scars;
- pigmentation.
The effectiveness of the approach is reinforced by the fact that vascular redness disappears completely. This is explained by the fact that after a point exposure, telangiectasias gradually resolve, presenting material evidence of effectiveness.
Patients also like the fact that it is possible to achieve the desired in the shortest possible time. For some people, even one session is enough when it comes to a single star on the face, which is of modest size.
With merged lesions, you will have to go through about five manipulations, maintaining the recommended time interval between them.
But here it is important to remember that no matter how effective treatment is, it is aimed only at neutralizing external symptoms.
Without a cure from the inside, it will not be possible to consolidate positive changes for a long time.
Medical Contraindications
Although laser systems are considered one of the most effective options for solving the issue of eliminating rosacea, it is far from being shown to everyone. If specific chronic diseases have been identified in the victim during the preliminary preparation phase, then an alternative path will have to be sought. We are talking not only about the fragility of blood vessels, but also about abnormalities of connective tissues.
Of particular danger are inflammatory diseases and related processes with any localization and origin. It can be both acute infectious lesions and dermatological diseases with a focus in any part of the body. Until the patient cures the underlying ailments, he will not be allowed to use laser assistance.
Pregnancy and the lactation period are added to relative prohibitions. Here you just have to wait for more favorable circumstances. But oncological neoplasms of a benign or malignant type are already more serious contraindications, since they require long-term therapy.
It will be impossible to correctly fulfill the plan if a person has exposed his own skin to chemical or thermal active effects at least two weeks before taking it. We are talking about peeling, tanning or visiting a solarium.
Care will have to be taken to exclude from therapy drugs that increase sensitivity to light. But before removing them from the treatment regimen, you should first consult with the doctor who prescribed them. It is likely that it will be more effective to wait until the end of the main course of treatment, and then go to the center of aesthetic medicine.
Removal and postoperative period
While a powerful stream of light energy heats the hemoglobin, the blood begins to clot. Since the heating temperature set in the laser modes is quite high, this leads to coagulation of the vessels, which means they stick together. After a while, the vessels become transparent, which makes them invisible under the skin.
After the lesion is neutralized, the patient can immediately go home. But at the same time, he must remember that in the next few days he should refuse to visit saunas, baths, pools, hot baths. Also, do not wipe the treated area with alcohol-containing products, so as not to damage the skin surface. For safety, you will need to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 35 units.
For the next two weeks, you can not sunbathe, appear in the solarium and do cosmetic procedures like chemical peels. Do not expose your body to increased physical exertion.
Only following the indicated instructions will allow you to maintain a successful result, as well as protect the patient from a high probability of recurrence of rosacea on the nose.
