It may not just be genetics behind the problem of dilated coils. The factors that increase their occurrence will be explained by dermatologist Alexandra Rozborilová.

Have you noticed that tiny red spots have started to appear on your face? This way, not only embarrassment, but also dilated blood vessels may be reported. They are most commonly found in the nose and cheek area. Their shade ranges from red to a lilac color. Mostly they begin to appear between the ages of thirty and forty.

“Dilated facial coils are also referred to by the term telangiectasia. They arise as a result of weakening of the walls of small blood vessels that are located just below the surface of the skin. Genetics plays a significant role in their formation, but it is not the only triggering factor,” explains the dermatologist MUDr. Alexandra Rozborilová, PhD. “Overexposure to the sun, extreme temperatures, changes in hormonal levels, alcohol, smoking and stress also contribute to their formation. Even if you have a genetic predisposition to develop them, lifestyle and environmental influences exacerbate their occurrence.” Skin type can also play an important role. From the occasional persistent More often, dilated coils occur in people with thin, sensitive or fair skin. They also typically appear in skin conditions such as rosacea, which causes increased sensitivity of the blood vessels. In this case, the occasional redness gradually becomes permanent. In the later stages, pimples and pustules also begin to appear on the face. If the problem is not addressed, it grows into unaesthetic nodules and thickening of the sebaceous glands, which is also referred to as cauliflower nose. In the case of rosacea, however, it is a chronic skin disease. Is the winter worse? Both seasons of the year can be problematic for dilated coil problems. “Both extremely cold and extremely hot weather can worsen their condition. The cold air causes the blood vessels to constrict and then stretch, which gradually weakens them. In summer, intense sunlight and heat cause the blood vessels to dilate excessively,” explains the dermatologist. Enlarged coils are not a purely female affair. “Although they are slightly more common in women, mainly due to hormonal changes associated with pregnancy, menopause or the use of contraceptive pills, men are not immune to their occurrence. Especially if they have a genetic predisposition or lead a lifestyle that encourages their formation,” explains the dermatologist.
Coils do not like:

• exposure to sunlight
• sipping alcoholic beverages
• smoking
• eating overly spicy and pungent foods
• hot soups and drinks
• stress
• steaming, hot bath or sauna

Rather show them Count on the fact that dilated coils become more visible with age. It’s natural. “The skin gradually thins and loses elasticity, causing them to become more prominent. In addition, as we age, the blood vessel walls weaken and the skin’s natural renewal is disrupted. All this leads to a higher incidence of these visible blood vessels,” explains the experienced expert. Already at the first signs, you’d better visit a dermatologist. He or she will assess the extent of the problem as well as the possible causes. “Early treatment can prevent further aggravation of the condition. Although enlarged coils are not a serious health problem in themselves, they can signal the presence of rosacea or other skin diseases that require treatment,” encourages Dr. Alexandra Rozborilova to visit a specialist.
