Telangiectasia

Telangiectasias are small dilations of blood vessels located just beneath the skin, forming thin red, bluish or purplish lines. They primarily appear on the face, particularly on the cheeks and nose, and on the legs. These dilated vessels are often linked to capillary fragility, sun exposure, hormonal variations or circulatory disorders. They can also be associated with conditions such as rosacea or vascular imbalances.
