Causes of Capillary ProblemsA) Internal
- Genetic (e.g. thin skin, lack of capillary elasticity)
- Frequent blushing (also due to stress, alcohol, hot fluids)
- Hormonal and nervous disorders.
- Digestive, including consumption of hot, spicy stimulants
B) External
- Exposure to elements (wind, sun, cold)
- Failure to wear sunblock
- Physical and chemical irritations
- Temperature extremes
Diet and Supplements
- Avoid spicy, hot foods.
- Avoid hot and icy drinks.
- Avoid alcohol.
- Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins (poultry, fish, legumes,
nuts); avoid red meats if possible.
- Avoid stimulants altogether.
- Take Vitamin C and Vitamin P (bioflavenoids, rutin, hesperidin).
Active Ingredients
- Chamomile: vaso-constrictor, anti-inflammatory
- Arnica (arnica flower extract): anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic
- Witch Hazel (hamamelis): contains Vitamin P, astringent, decongestant
- Placenta (animal placenta extracts): regulates capillary circulation
- Rutin Salt: contains Vitamin P; restores capillary permeability and elasticity.
Take internally; observe proper dosage. Capillary problems can be improved only when treated internally and externally over an extensive period of time, and in some cases no visible improvement will occur. The role of the esthetician should be to stabilize the condition and to teach the client how to prevent further damage. Unfortunately, with
aging, the capillary vessels naturally become weaker and telangiectasis itself
may be a symptom of the aging process.
