Vascular lesions are common skin concerns caused by visible blood vessels within the skin. They occur when blood vessels become enlarged, damaged, dilated, or more visible through the skin. They can vary in size, colour, and depth, ranging from fine red capillaries to deeper blue or purple veins. Many vascular lesions are harmless, they can cause cosmetic concern, persistent redness, flushing, or uneven skin tone.
Vascular lesions and visible veins may develop from
Facial Capillaries & Broken Vessels
