The thin skin on your face shows veins, bruising and blemishes extremely easily due to its delicate nature. You may simply cover up your facial blemishes with makeup and go about your day without a second thought about the matter. Although this is a great way to approach perceived imperfections temporarily, it is definitely possible to eliminate the need for makeup cover ups altogether by visiting a cosmetic dermatologist. Here are three issues that these skilled medical professionals quickly and efficiently eliminate.

Tracts Of Veins

Veins running throughout your body do not follow carefully constructed hidden pathways, especially when constricted by muscle or ligament tissue. In fact, constricted veins may end up in a bundled heap that increases the size and visibility of the affected vessels. Large masses of thick veins at the surface are called varicose veins, while doctors refer to smaller ones as spider veins.

Either way, you might consider the veins an unsightly mess upon noticing them popping up around your facial area. Furthermore, you might suffer from intense itching, burning pain or inflammation around the surface veins. Luckily, your dermatologist can convince the veins to grow elsewhere by deeply massaging the area, injecting scarring agents or zapping them away with a laser. You will need to decide if you want to take a natural or aggressive approach to eliminate these veins from the surface of your skin.

Dark Eye Circles

The appearance of dark circles under your eyes may indicate you do not get enough rest, have poor nutritional habits or suffer from a medical condition that increases the appearance of these blemishes. These dark circles are caused by the subtle appearance of blood vessels just below the skin in that area. Rubbing your eyes or even applying skin creams or makeup too roughly can break open the vessels, which drastically worsens the dark color beneath your eyes until the bruised area heals.

Although this condition is easily covered up with a combination of concealer and foundation, one study revealed that more than 50% of the women polled consider dark circles a real problem. Your cosmetic dermatologist may attempt to calm down the blood vessels and strengthen your facial skin using healing creams and plumping agents. A topical vitamin C treatment often helps reduce the appearance of dark circles if your poor nutritional habits are the likely cause.

Bright Petechiae

Minor blood vessel hemorrhages can leave your face speckled with tiny red dots that take an awfully long time to disappear on their own. Sometimes the speckles are related to excessive pressure on your blood vessels, such as while vomiting or lifting heavy objects.   

Low platelet counts caused by medical conditions, like bacterial infections and hemophilia, can also lead to this disorder. As a result, your cosmetic dermatologist will perform a full medical workup, including lab tests on your blood, to rule out dangerous conditions before starting the treatment process.

After ruling out all of the potentially harmful causes, your dermatologist will simply start the treatment process for the spots themselves. You may try facial massage, skin smoothing injections or microdermabrasion in an effort to instantly reduce the appearance of the red spots.

Finding Suitable Treatment Options

Your dermatologist can help you figure out the best treatments to try for your set of symptoms. Try to go through the treatment options from least to most invasive in an effort to obtain the easiest fix possible. Treatment options for the above conditions may range from natural remedies to laser repairs.

Make sure to take before and after pictures for each treatment, as it is often difficult to see improvements while looking in the mirror. Also, ask friends and family members to chime in if they see obvious changes after each visible vein, bruise or petechiae elimination procedure.
