What are telangiectasias?

Enlarged hair follicles
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dilated capillaries at the skin's surface
Dark spots caused by sun exposure

The correct answer is: Dilated capillaries at the skin's surface

Telangiectasias refer to small, dilated blood vessels that are located close to the surface of the skin, which often appear as fine, red or purple lines. These can be a result of various factors, including genetic predisposition, sun exposure, or conditions that affect blood flow and circulation. Recognizing telangiectasias is significant in esthetics because they can impact the overall appearance of the skin and are sometimes associated with conditions such as rosacea or chronic sun damage. Knowing how to identify and treat these dilated capillaries is essential for maintaining healthy skin and achieving desired aesthetic results.
