Same with my bathroom mirror it makes my skin look gross; I just brush my teeth facing the wall.

Absolutely Amen!

There are hydrocoloid patches for the larger parts of the face and those help pores so much!! Always clean right after with a pore purifying toner like Paula’s Choice or even something gentle with simple ingredients.

Retin A has softened the look of my broken capillaries considerably. They look very faint after a year and a half of tretinoin.

[@jpstapf]

Ditto! Previously, I had laser treatments every year with moderate success. But on just 6 months of Retin A at progressive strengths, I have noted much less redness and visible telangiectasias. I wish I had started it sooner. My guess is it thickens the dermal layer. I no longer flush when hot, stressed or after a glass of wine. Retin A has been a Godsend.

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

Yes I found the 2% Ordinary granactive emulsion just perfect.

[@_Cath_]

What brand and % do you use?

[@lucysky384]

@_Cath_ l am not entirely sure about the brand . It is prescribed by a doctor so l think it depends on what country you live in. It's made by some huge pharmaceutical company or they usually have a generic. It is not the same as retinol. There are many different cosmetic companies that make retinol and you don't need a prescription. I use the 0,5 because it's tge only percentage available in my country. (By the way, l used tretinoin for two years, then switched to retinol, and it works just as well, but it is gentler on the skin)

[@MsLouisez]

I agree!! I always hear retinol is bad for rosacea, however it has dulled my redness ++

[@jennifersturkie4129]

I LOVE the details, keep them coming. I think the reason folks get bored is due to our nano attention spans & our mindset of just give me something for the problem. Heaven forbid we actually trace an issue back to a cause & use prevention. It’s a common problem & I’m guilty on occasion myself. Keep educating us!💜

[@Chahlie]

I grew up on a farm, many years ago- sunscreen was not a thing. Result rosacea, broken capillaries and so on. Getting IPL was a game changer. I had the most sensitive skin, constant battles with eczema, and the IPL really reduced the sensitivity. But, going no contact with family also helped! I no longer flush excessively as I have started to gain self esteem. It's a whole lifestyle thing, but I'd hugely recommend IPL for anyone suffering from this.

[@toykeyper8914]

I really want to try it, I developed rosacea with painful flushing and burning. My skin is so sensitive now. Like you I never wore sunscreen when I was younger. I really wish IPL wasn't so expensive.

[@dawnsmith370]

Would you recommend Ipl over bbl?

[@oceans.and.deserts]

@@toykeyper8914 You probably only need a mid-face IPL. Call around as prices vary, although everyone is charging more due to inflation. I switched to VBeam recently (I'm not convinced it's better), but was getting a mid-face IPL plus Yag laser for only $75 every other month until my esthetician left in 2022 and then it went up to $100. I have a history of acne rosacea with telangiectasia and ocular rosacea. Best wishes.

[@HRwoeking]

Ok. Just a note. I had “torrid cushings” For ten years. I went through hell and a lot of “You’re fine” before I eventually had a nice bit of heart failure when I finally had enough and referred myself to an expert. ( I looked up drs in my “sort of”area and basically found the best. I ended up paying a lot to begin with, but was worth it because I finally got the tumour removed in November last year). I had extreme levels of cortisol BUT it was very well hidden. My ACTH levels were non existent and my adrenal glands had effectively shut down. The only way they could truly see the levels of cortisol (1000 nano moles per litre) was to do a dexamethasone suppression test. Simply testing my cortisol showed nothing exciting. Of course I had scans to find the tumour but there was much argument over it was a. Functioning or b. A pheochromocytoma. As I mentioned, I basically had to work it out myself. It’s rare, so drs are very disbelieving. I suffered for so long. My goal this time last year was to get my diastolic BP to UNDER 100 (with three different medications at max dosage) and to slow my heart down (150bpm resting) with max dosage beta blockers and bed rest. I’ve been through it! If anyone sees this, who feels like they might be going through the same, or just wants a bit of advice/discussion (I’ve basically educated myself more than most drs- first time I met my endocrinologist hee asked if I was a Dr, second time he asked if I was a scientist- no, I just wanted to be better) my Twitter handle is @HannaWoeking and I will always respond. There’s so little support available, ironically it’s diagnosed more in dogs! I wish I’d had someone to talk to.

[@HRwoeking]

And I don’t mean I know more than drs- that’s silly, I mean I know what I’m talking about. In minute detail.

[@danam9027]

I started developing telangiectasia a few years after a Scleroderma diagnosis. I always had beautiful, flawless skin until then. They have become more abundant over the years and have covered my face, neck, chest and upper arms. I even have some on the back of my neck and behind my ears. It frustrates me that treatments are not covered by insurance because they are considered cosmetic. My whole appearance has changed and maybe it is cosmetic, but it is a blow to my self-esteem when going out in public. I never used to wear make up and now I find myself slathering on as much full coverage as I can. One day, I went to work without any make up on, and one of my coworkers thought I had the chickenpox or maybe even the measles. It was humiliating and embarrassing! Thank you Dr. Dray for this video. I appreciate you educating us all!

My blood vessels on my left cheek has gotten worse. I did use St. Ives scrub, the wrong skincare, in the 80’s we baked with baby oil and sun in. My parents smoked in the house.

[@msjkay16]

I just had a consultation with a dermatologist about removing broken blood vessels around the nose, which were caused by using St. Ives facial scrub. They recommended at least 5 treatments a month apart by a vascular laser, $350 a treatment. The problem is they said that it's pretty much guaranteed that the condition will come back. Some lucky people can go a few years before they need treatments again but others will only have a few months. What's the point then? You'll have to heal after each treatment (they can bruise), then do it again next month, then heal, then do it again... And it will only last a short while, from a few months to maybe a couple of years, then do it all over again. Basically, living your life with a constantly reinjured and rehealing area in the middle of your face. The dermatologist said that there is no permanent solution.

[@cookiehoarder5967]

I just spent 1200 on 3 laser treatments for broken capillaries around my nose. The board certified dermatologist used the newest laser made specifically for treatments such as this. Called excel V. Total waste of money. Not one bit of improvement. Just trying to spread the word.

[@amandafrancis9168]

Yes same here. I had 9 laser treatments. Very slight improvement but within weeks it looked the same as it did previously. I am going to try red vine extract as it strengthens capillaries,taking it internally. I used a gel with it in but it didn't do much but I have heard the tablets do help.

I used to have these growing up. They were blue and red around the fat of my cheeks. There were only 2 of us who had them in our class. We were brown skinned, definitely not fair skinned Asians. For some reason, I outgrew them in my late 30s. But as a teenager, it was a source of insecurity. Some classmates often pointed it out along with our chubby cheeks. It made me self-conscious 😊

All vitally important advice.

[@fidelityrealtycompany2703]

Thank you so much for this information! I am 44 and this is definitely something that I struggle with. It could be worse but I have them in the crease of my nose, and around my cheekbone area. Since adolescence, I have been conscious of taking care of my skin, but I clearly wasn't educated. My childhood summers were spent out in the sun. Sunscreen was generally something that I used after I got burnt, so that it would not get worse. Throughout my 20s and 30s Saint Ives walnut scrub was never not in my shower. I used it daily. Like so many, I wish I had known this information in my 20s. Today my skin care is simple, and expensive yet surprisingly effective. I wash my face with CeraVe hydrating cleanser. At night I use Olay retinol 24 advanced along with Laroche-Posay Lipikar body cream. In the morning I use SUNSCREEN along with CeraVe moisturizing cream. I'm amazed at how much more effective this lineup is, as opposed to the expensive department store products. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I love your videos!

[@mam564]

Yes, I've struggled with this disfiguring skin conditions for over 40 years! I live in southern CA., and the dermatologist I went to charges $500.00 a treatment and you need to go at least three times. At this point, I can no longer afford the treatments.

Aaah super informative for me. I have these with rosacea and have had these since I was a child. I finally know that the prominent veins and redness arent going anywhere, thank you. I appreciate this video so much and all the detail you go into!!!!

[@Novemberrain111]

Hi Dr. Dray🌻happy thursday and thanks so much for all the detailed information

[@TanyaKatherine]

Blue vein popping out under eye - Liver is in trouble or needing support. Heal the liver, you will heal the veins. Not only is the skin thinning from collagen loss/trauma/neglect/age but also because the liver is not working properly. All links back to the LIVER. Need lymphatic drainage and liver support. Milk Thistle. This is what I got from researching this.

its stress

[@TanyaKatherine]

@@piedpiper1201 I agree but it doesnt go away or go back to before

[@TanyaKatherine]

@@piedpiper1201 It coild be skin thinning from removing makeup

[@piedpiper1201]

@@TanyaKatherineyes its skin thinning but thats what stress does, stress is worst possible thing for your health and looks...once you are stressed all the other things have a compounding effect like lack of sleep, smoking, uv rays etc becasue when you are stressed your body becomes depleted of nutrients which are needed to protect the skin (largest organ). red light is the best skincare but takes a long time of consistant use

[@BearSYONG]

Thanks for this video. But may I ask one more question? Does using tretinoin cause telangiectasia too?

[@sheenamcelroy9169]

Thank you for the indepth information. I ended up getting 3 V-BEAM sessions for broken capillaries on both cheeks, the results once healed only lasted for about 2 weeks, they are now ALL back PLUS some. I'm very discouraged and don't leave my house without foundation. Do you think that maybe a different type of laser or therapy would be beneficial? Or if anyone else has had a similar experience have any suggestions? Thank you for taking the time to help. ❤

[@Lucy-mf5gk]

This was my experience too & they never talk about that!!

[@sarahelkins9662]

I got IPL and BBL done in January 2021. It got rid of several telangectasias but it is June 2023, and they all came back. And it was over 1k to get those both done. They say you have to do several but it takes a week to recover and most of us can’t take off work that long because you can’t be in the sun and your face peels. Ugh. I wear SPF 40-50 everyday. I wear a facial SPF cover when I drive. My nose skin is so thin from it burning and peeling so much as a kid 😢 I feel hopeless. My skin redness and these blood vessels will never go away. I’m so sensitive to everything so I just look terrible all the time. Make up makes it worse I’ve tried so many different gels creams etc.

[@parisinthe30sx]

I have those red veins by my nose, and I've found that popping pimples in that area made them a million times worse

[@psylegal]

I'm pretty sure i caused the secondary-to-trauma vessels from squeezing clogged pours . Recently got off a medication that made me look pretty bad, and I'm recovering now (look six years younger and I'm cute again in only 5 months, in another 5 I'll probably be in shape). Now i wear untinted zinc oxide sunblock, it kind of acts as foundation (i'm a redhead). And i'm like religiously against sqeezing the skin (so i'm learning not to), to hear that i need to get laser treatments to fix this is not the worst thing, as it will probably have other benefits. being in one's early forties and having to get one's looks back is a real eye-opener (i was on seroquel for 7 years, just got off it 5 months ago.).

[@lilgorgo]

i have them under my eyes and around my nose from pressing/rubbing too hard :( congrats on getting off the seroquel friend

I had a mini facelift which I now have a few surface blood vessels. Your post has given me ideas. Thanks 🎉

[@kathyn1343]

I have had mild rosacea for many years and so have some residual redness (mostly on my nose) and many telangectasias on my cheeks and nose. Hate them! My derm gave me a redness reducing cream which I started and sent me into a horrible rosacea flare which I am now dealing with! I think once I get it under control I will try the laser, no more of the topical redness reducer for me! I think of all those years of trying to get a tan with no sunscreen and I cringe! Ugh, at least I have turned my daughter into a sunscreen warrior!

[@therealbecky_]

What cream was it that the derm prescribed you?

[@elizabethwilk9615]

I always have used sun screen since young and still got those red veins or whatever they are called around the nose.

[@joanams8353]

It's so frustrating cause I don't drink, don't smoke, wear appropriate amounts of sunscreen every single day, avoid the sun at all times, I'm 23 and have had telangiectasias since I was like 10 or 11 years old... my dermatologist told me only laser treatment will get rid of it but the blood vessels can still grow back afterwards...

[@debram8829]

I've had Telangiectasia since a child too...genetic...my dad and grandad also had it...nothing ever helped but I decided not to go for laser...it would simply come back...so have just lived with it for 40 yrs...I just got used to it. Hope you come to terms with it or find a solution that works for you

[@burtnh88]

Yes! And now I have rosacea too! So difficult because dealing with rosacea makes me obsess with my skin more

[@HayleyCarolan1]

Super helpful, thank you. Do you think it's safe to use a retinol or tretinoin if you have this?

[@sylvain123]

Thankyou Dr Dray 🙏 I always learn something new from every video. My lupus that caused those horrid veins!💡 Ever since I started watching your videos I threw away harsh scrubs and stripping clay masks and anything perfumed. Now I do layers of sunscreen, big hats (with face covering especially when driving), UV blocking gloves, a good plain rich moisturiser (QV), and Tret, my skin looks so much better. I still have flares but my skin recovery is much faster. By covering up I'm able to enjoy some outside time. I'm really grateful to you 💖💐

[@aimeewoolley2203]

I’ve been searching causes for the unsightly Telangiectasia on my face and nose. I have them rather prominently and have fair skin that flushes easily. Thank you for explaining the underlying causes and effective treatments-very helpful and useful.

[@sugarmiho]

I love all of your videos! I was recommended V beam laser by my dermatologist for my blood vessels around the nose from rosacea. Any advice on V beam laser?

[@nestajenkins5671]

I used to work in a cold environment with cold air blowing in my face. I would get off work and my face would get super red and hot for hours after my shift. Ever since that job my face is super red with these little veins all over. I’m seeing a dermatologist next month and hoping they can help me

Really needed this, I have these around my nose because when I was young suffering with acne I had bad advice from reps in department stores and got a Clarisonic, they told me to spend one full minute on JUST my nose when I had breakouts (it's meant to be for the full face). Awful awful awful....

[@tokyorosa]

Thank you for making such comprehensive videos. I think having more information is better!

[@juliabazanska]

I had laser treatment for broken capillaries around my nose at a reputable derm's office. The treatment made my otherwise dry skin break out like crazy, we're talking pimple on pimple on pimple, and unfortunately I was left with permanent pitted scars... He said it was my fault for not telling him it hurt when he was blasting me, when at the time he said it would hurt so I said nothing. Luckily they're tucked in in the folds of my nose so no big harm done, but I'm not getting the rest of my face done, ever.

[@piedpiper1201]

[@Lucy-mf5gk]

Should be able to get your money back - its a scam treatment - perpetuated by derms who profit

[@jnmsks6052]

I've had a few IPL treatments, and it was for dark spots rather than veins, but I did notice that it did take care of a few cherry angiomas as well as drawing a lot of the pigment from sun damage-related dark spots. Not going to lie, getting IPL on your face is painful, but I definitely saw results and would do it again. Note that the pain involved doesn't last past the "zap" each time, so it's not a lasting pain that would need to be managed after the fact. You know the scene in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo is being tortured in Cloud City with the zapping thing? That was what it reminded me of, and basically how I reacted with each pulse. The receptionist congratulated me for not swearing once because most people do.

[@jenniferbestwick2406]

The first dermatologist I saw told me I had Rosacea but that one wasn't very helpful to me so I went and saw a new dermatologist and this new one told me I have Telangiectasia. Your video been helpful. Is there a cure fore Telangiectasia?

[@asiamcleod7333]

Can blood pressure meds used to treat acne like spironolactone cause vascular issues on the skin like spider and cherry angiomas?
