Different types of facial blood vessels

There are several types of facial blood vessels, namely:

  • **Telangiectasia:** These are small, dilated blood vessels that are often visible as red or purple lines on the skin. They commonly appear on the cheeks and around the nose.
  • Couperose: Couperose is a type of telangiectasia that manifests as permanent redness and dilated blood vessels, usually on the cheeks and nose. It is often caused by genetic factors, sun exposure, extreme temperatures, or alcohol consumption.
  • Spider nevus: In a spider nevus, also known as spider angioma, the small, dilated blood vessels appear like a miniature spider. They are recognizable by the long, thin “legs” that elegantly radiate from a central point, creating a unique and distinctive pattern on the skin.
  • Rosacea: Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pimples. The blood vessels can be a prominent part of the condition.
