Capillaries are the smallest vessels within the circulatory system. In healthy skin the capillaries are not normally visible to the naked eye. Dilated capillaries or broken capillaries are defined as permanently dilated small blood vessels, in length from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. They may be on their own or star-shaped or in plain networks (couperose).

As we age, the capillary walls lose their elasticity and become permanently distended. A number of factors may lead to capillary dilation including:

• Heredity
• External factors such as sun exposure, saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms, and aggressive comedone extractions
• Hormonal
• Health conditions such as high blood pressure and rosacea
• Medication such as vasodilators and oral contraceptives
• Weather conditions
• Other causes such as alcohol, caffeine, hot beverages, spicy food, physical fatigue, and severe activity
