Treatment of the little marked facial veins
The treatment of the cutaneous circulatory problems reaches very high
levels of quality with the application of the AUTOMATIC VITALTERM.
Given that the origin of the physiological effect generated by this
current is eminently circulatory, it is not surprising that the
telangiectasias that appear in the cheeks or nose are reduced almost
instantly with the application of the equipment and that the couperose
and the pinkness soften nothing more than finished the first session.
The powerful effect of penetration of cosmetological products and
its efficient internal activation are added to the exclusively biological
and circulatory effect that the apparatus already generates. For
this reason, the results are better than those obtained with other
known tecnniques, since you work over the cause of the problem (the
blood flow) and not over its external manifestation (the little
red veins or redness).
Within the alterations of the vascularization with aesthetic influence
on the client are included the disorders of the blood and lymphatic
vessels that are of medical treatment. In these cases, the beauty
professional will act under prescription and medical supervision.
The alterations of aesthetic interest at facial level are:
• Pinkness
• Telangiectasias and couperose.
Treatment of pinkness
The pinkness is chronic dermatosis of facial localization frequently
associated to motor vessel disorders. It is developped over a type
of distonic skin (in which the tonicity has been altered), whether
seborrheic (the most frequent) or dry alipica. The principle characteristic
of the pinkness is the presence of eritrosis (diffused redness of
the face), that can adopt a purplish tone and that in more advanced
phases is complicated with telangiectasias. Despite being treated
from the medical point of view, the beauty therapist will be able
to collaborate in determined aspects.
The mechanism of production of the pinkness is progressive. In
its initial period an eritrotis is produced, that can last years,
months or only weeks. It is characterized by more or less brusque
facial congestion in sudden transitory flare ups, originated by
stimulus and that can last a few minutes to several hours, accompanied
by a sensation of heat.
The pinkness is frequently classified within the alterations of
lipidations, although its treatment is closer to that of the erythemas.
We can detect when a skin has tendancy to pinkness by the presence
of the tendancy to redenning, sometimes, at early ages. The erytrosis
is characterized by a diffused and persistent reddening of the face,
different to the erythema that is passing.
When you settle over seborrheic zone it is frequent the appearance
of papules and pustules that emanate a serosity and evolve by brusque
accesses. The skin is usually very irritable and tolerates few cosmetics
and medicines. It is not possible to confuse the pinkness with the
acne, although it is present frequently papules and pustules, since
the absence of blackheads, the frequent presence of telangiectasias
and age (the pinkness is not produced in early ages) it would discard
the diagnostic of acne.
The origin of the pinkness is related to motor vessel disorders
of constitutional type, over which factors like internal disorders
(digestive, emocional, alterations menstruals, endocrines, etc.)
have an influence that will have to be taken into account at the
time of performing the diagnosis if it were necessary to remit to
the specialized consultation. Amongst the internal factors are the
excessive climatic stimuli (changes of temperature, sun, cold, wind,
etc.), alcoholic drinks or cafeines, very hot or very elaborated
foods, application of local corticoides, etc.
Treatment of rhinophyma
The pinkness can be presented both in men and in women although these
last ones are those which demand more treatments. The pinkness can
be complicated with the appearance of rhinophyma, especially in
men, where the nose is presented blushed and largened, with the
cheeks swollen and thick papules.
All these circumstances are of great importance, not only because
they orientate us according to the origin of the alteration and
its aggravation, but at the time of performing recommendations and
advice for the daily treatment that, without doubt, will determine
the quality of the results in cabin. According to all these characteristics
you must choose the necessary technical means. The cutaneous necessity
that the professional faces through the AUTOMATIC VITALTERM is to
decongest, reduce the eritrosis and regulate the secretions.
The cosmetological products to apply must favour the blood circulation.
For this reason, it is advised the gingko biloba especially as treatment
product. The calming and emollient extracts like plantago, malva,
altea, etc. are especially indicated for pulverizations or tonics
both in cosmetics of professional use and of personal use. The antieritematosr
and regenerating substances (rose hip, aloe vera, etc.) can be used
both in form of solution (bottle) and gel, and in emulsion of low
fat content.
The treatment protocol of the pinkness begins with the medical
visit. The beauty therapist must recommend this consultation, since
the pinkness is associated to digestive, nervous, endocrine, gynaecological
disorders, etc. Some authors also relate it to bucodental disorders.
In all the alterations that are accompanied by eritrosis it is very
important the protection against external agents: cold, wind etc.
You must avoid brusque changes of temperature. With respect to food
habits and life, it is necessary to avoid alcohol, tabacco and stimulants,
very hot and spicy foods. You must always use sun screen, since
the sun is the greatest enemy of eritrosic skins, and also avoid
situations of stress.
During the application of the treatment with AUTOMATIC VITALTERM
it is advisable to continually interrogate the client if the nature
of the sensation that she perceives is pleasant, in order to make
sure at all times that the power applied is correct. If the treatment
is performed in the cheeks, it is recommended the application of
a moderate power (60-70), while for the treatment of the nose it
is advisable a low power (25-40). The size of the accessories applied
must also be in relation to the treatment surface, since you must
guarantee the total tact of all the extension of the applier with
the skin.
The important hyperaemia that the generator application of the
AUTOMATIC VITALTERM generates can seem intolerable for those people
that suffer from pinkness. However, the restitution of the deficient
circulatory process and the important internal oxygenation soon
explain the beneficial effects of the therapy and how the problem
is normalized throughout the sessions. The hyperaemia generated
can disappear a few minutes afterwards and, in those cases in which
there is a very serious problem, throughout the hours after the
application.
The treatment standard is of 2 or 3 sessions per week, for 15 sessions.
It is recommendable to follow a treatment of maintenance in which
the professional must establish the number of days of treatment,
according to the reaction of the person and of his or her development
throughout the days. It is recommended to perform one maintenance
session every fortnight and eliminate from the diet those toxic
elements that can be believed stimulating from this cutaneous reaction.
Couperose treatment
The couperose is characterized by the appearance of telangiectasias forming
reddish stains in the cheek bones, cheeks and nostrels of the nose.
It can usually be presented in people of fine and sensitive skin
as a result of repeated congestions of the capillaries (erythemas)
of the zone, for which the aesthetic treatments are similar to sensitive
skins. The causes are usually exposure, without protection, to the
cold, wind, solar radiations and heat, and for digestive and nervous
disorders. They can appear as the consequence of hormonal factors
(pregnancy), physical (solar exposure), general illnesses (cirrosis)
and malformations of the affected vessels.
The AUTOMATIC VITALTERM improves the quality of the walls of the
vessels, fights against the sanguine stagnation that exists in this
alteration, has an antiinflammatory effect, antiphlogistic and calming
effect. It is also important to emphasize the circulatory drainage
that is produced at the deep level.
The couperose passes through several stages in its evolution, manifesting
itself at the beginning in short periods as a facial congestion,
afterwards it is presented for longer and the telangiectasias appear,
dilations of the capillaries caused by repeated congestions and
the vascular atony. At the beginning the skin of the zone presents
a dark red colour, then passing to red violet.
The tendancy to suffer emotive eritemas or eritemas by changes
of temperature, or other physical causes indicates to us the tendancy
of a person to suffer eritrosis, in such a way that we can perform
preventive and protective treatments, very important at the time
of treating this alteration, since once the aesthetic treatment
is instaured it is less effective and you will have to resort to
the medical treatment.
The outbreaks of eritrosis (also kniown as “flushing”)
in the postprandial period that happens in the pinkness have been
object of detailed studies. Traditionally, it is associated with
intestinal disfunctions and dietic excesses. All the studies carried
out to check these disorders have offered contradictory results.
While some investigators demonstrated anomalies detected in the
gastroscopias, some haven’t found any abnormality, even with
the performance of biopsias.
However, it has been demonstrated that the administration of pancreatic
extracts via oral improves the dispepsia (difficult and laborious
digestion of chronic character) and the cutaneous injuries of the
pinkness, but the recommendation and following of very restrictive
diets, acidifying or alkalining, or vegetarian didn’t vary
sensitively the manifestations of the alteration, although some
people noted “the skin is less tense”.
The studies on the levels of zinc and copper in people with pinkness
showed that the values were under the norm in the case of zinc and
copper. The levels of magnesium were increased, the same as in other
dermatosis studied. Wilkin already showed in 1981 that it isn’t
the quality of the food ingested, but the temperature of the morsel
of food which can cause the flush and the accompanying facial sweating.
In order to repress the reflexes of the facial vasodilation continue
recommending, as therapeutical cohelper a diet absent of spices,
condiments and alcohol. It must be recommended, likewise, chew well,
eat slowly, perform frequent and not copious meals as well as avoiding
clothes or belts that press excessively the abdomen.
The cutaneous needs in the treatment of the cuperosis are decongest,
reduce the eritrosis and prevent the appearance of the telangiectasias.
For this it is recommended to use cosmetological products formulated
at base of active circulatory principles as for example the gingko
biloba. In its defect, combinations can be used using the natural
extract of this stimulator of macro and microcirculation. Besides
antiseptic, decongestive substances (that contain flavenoids: horse
chestnut, melisa, white spine, etc.) and tranquilizers (calendula,
chamomile, aloe, etc.) used in skins with eritrosis and pinkness,
vasotonic substances must be chosen that improve the microcirculation.
The extracts of primula and lion foot are also very used for their
calming actions, emolients, rich in flavonoids the first ones, and
in tanines the second ones (therefore, also slightly astringent).
The emulsions will include vascular tonic substances: centella asiática,
pony tail, red vine, etc. that improve the vascular permeability
and repair the damaged tissue. In the case of the skin that doesn’t
tolerate any cosmetological or medical substance (as can happen
with pinkness), it is recommended to apply conducting gel exclusively.
During the application of the treatment it is advisable to continually
interrogate the client if the nature of the sensation that he or
she perceives is pleasant, in order to find out at all times if
the power applied is correct. If the treatment is performed in the
cheeks, it is recommended the application of a moderate power (60-70),
while for the treatment of the nose a low power is advisable (25-40).
The size of the accessories applied must also be in relation to
the treatment surface, since it is necessary to guarantee total
contact of all the extension of the applier with the skin.
The treatment standard is of 2 to 3 sessions per week, for 20 sessions.
It is recommendable to follow a maintenance treatment in which the
professional must establish the number of days of treatment, according
to the reaction of the person and their development throughout the
days. It is recommended to perform a maintenance of one session
every fifteen days and eliminate from the diet those toxic elements
that can be believed to be stimulators of cutaneous reaction.
Telangiectasis treatment
The telangiectasias can also be localized in lower extremities and isolated
hands or associated to vascular disorders like microvaricose veins
and varicose veins. The telangiectasias are manifested in pregnancy
as a result of dilation of the small vessels of the lower extremities
and will be treated in the chapter of the corporal alterations.
It is important to perform preventive treatments to avoid or lessen
its appearance (see Preventive treatment of varicose veins and microvaricose
veins).
The standard of treatment is the same as in the treatment of couperose.
Treatment of the small marked facial veins
The bulging of the small facial veins can be a motive of aesthetic discontent
for those people that suffer them. The relief of the small facial
veins is usually produced especially in the zone of the eyelids
and the orbicular tissue of the eyes. The main reason for this bulging
is the lack of blood and lymphatic flow especially in the contour
of the eyes. The respiratory interchange is not performed with sufficient
velocity and this causes a stagnation of the waste products and
a slowing down of the veinous circulation.
The AUTOMATIC VITALTERM exerts a very positive effect on reducing
the tension that the toxins generate over the veins. On increasing
the sanguine affluence and stimulating the lymphatic drainage, the
pressure over the vein walls is lightened and a disinflammation
of the surface veins is produced most emphatic to sight.
The protocol of treatment is the same as eye bags. |
