Capillaries are composed of a single layer of cells and are the sites of fluid and gas exchange. The single cell later of capillaries, although ideal for diffusion, creates problems because capillary beds are easily destroyed. High blood pressure of any impact can rupture the thin-layered capillary and bruising occurs when blood rushes into the space between tissues. White blood cells eat the nutrients from the broken capillary tissue and recycle it basically. There is no way to get rid of them once they are broken, bruising will occur and it takes time before new capillaries can replace the old, the blood will be soaked up, and the bruising disappears.

Therefore the only way to deal with broken capillaries is to wait for them to disappear on their own.

What are broken capillaries?

Broken capillaries are commonly found on the cheeks or nose area these appear as small red / pink threads under the skins surface, most. Broken capillaries occur when the capillary walls narrow and widen too quickly causing the muscles int he walls to tear. This in turn allows the blood to seep out resulting in broken capillaries. Dehydrated, dry and sensitive skins often have thin skin that provides less protection and therefore, these skin types are the most commonly effected. Common causesof broken capillaries are: 1. Hot conditions 2. Wind blowing on the face 3. Burnign i.e. sunburn 4. Moving from one extreme temperature to another 5. Pressure i.e. squeezing spots or glasses pressing on the face Broken capillaries can be prevented by avoiding all of the above. Once formed they can be treated by a specialist form of electrolysis. There are also specialist creams on the market that aim to strengthen the capillary walls thus reducing the redness.


Do broken capillaries go away with out treatment?

No, broken capillaries will not go away on their own. There is an easy way to get rid of them, but it is not for the squeamish. Use a very sharp blade of some sort to make a small incision into the capillary. You will know if you got it, because blood will gush out (not heaps of blood, just more than would come out if you had made an incision on a normal part of skin without a broken capillary). Then wait for the cut to heal, and your broken capillary will be gone.
