What to do with capillary dilation

Telangiectasia is a health problem that affects many people. This problem manifests itself on the skin as red blood streaks. As we all know, red blood streaks have a great impact on people's facial image. They also affect the patient's capillary health and skin health. Therefore, after the problem of capillary dilation occurs, it must be treated in time. Next, I will introduce to you the treatment methods for capillary dilation!

1. Increase the skin's barrier function

It promotes metabolism, repairs and adjusts the normal thickness of the skin, restores epidermal function, improves the skin's ability to resist various external stimuli, and improves the skin's sensitive state. Commonly used active ingredients include chamomile, arnica, ivy, cactus, etc.

2. Repair capillaries

This is mainly achieved in three ways:

1. Protect the integrity of capillaries: avoid external stimuli that damage skin capillaries, avoid increasing blood flow in skin capillaries, thereby protecting capillaries from damage and ensuring the integrity of the capillary endothelial basement membrane.

2. Repair damaged capillaries: This is mainly achieved through three ways: resisting factors that hinder the repair of broken capillaries, improving the contraction and expansion function of capillaries, and improving the microcirculation of facial capillaries.

3. Relieve capillary irritation: This helps relieve symptoms and reduce the extent of capillary dilation. By reducing inflammation, it reduces blood flow to the capillaries, thereby reducing the extent of redness. Ingredients that are effective in repairing red blood streaks include witch hazel, horse chestnut, butcher's eye tree, chamomile, etc.

3. Enhance the activity of collagen and elastin

Enhancing the activity of collagen and elastin can enhance the support of the skin, prevent and treat superficial capillaries, and thus prevent the phenomenon of red blood streaks on the face. Among the plant raw materials that repair red blood vessels, the grape polyphenols (flavonoids, tannins, catechins, and proanthocyanidins) contained in grape seeds not only enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and promote blood circulation, but also enhance the vitality of skin collagen and elastin.

4. Functional plants and their active ingredients for preventing and treating red blood streaks

It can be roughly divided into three categories: flavonoids, saponins, and tannic acid:

(1) Plant flavonoids: Plant flavonoids can increase the activity of free radical scavenging enzymes and inhibit lipid peroxidation reactions, thereby relaxing vascular smooth muscle, protecting vascular endothelial cell function and inhibiting the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). This category includes Astragalus and Citrus aurantium

(2) Saponins: They have the functions of anti-inflammatory exudation, increasing venous tension, improving microcirculation, and maintaining the normal structure of venous blood vessel walls. Commonly used are horse chestnut and false leaf tree

(3) Tannic acid: It is an effective hemostatic agent that can strengthen blood vessels and has anti-inflammatory functions. It also has antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and comprehensive protective effects that can reduce free radical damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. Commonly used ones include witch hazel, etc.
