Capillaries are the small blood vessels that carry blood to the almost all the tissue in the body. Broken capillaries are the reason you get bruises. So in other words, when you get a minor bruise, you have broken your capillaries. Happy to help!

Do broken capillaries go away with out treatment?

No, broken capillaries will not go away on their own. There is an easy way to get rid of them, but it is not for the squeamish. Use a very sharp blade of some sort to make a small incision into the capillary. You will know if you got it, because blood will gush out (not heaps of blood, just more than would come out if you had made an incision on a normal part of skin without a broken capillary). Then wait for the cut to heal, and your broken capillary will be gone.

How can you get rid of broken capillaries with aromatherapy?

Capillaries are composed of a single layer of cells and are the sites of fluid and gas exchange. The single cell later of capillaries, although ideal for diffusion, creates problems because capillary beds are easily destroyed. High blood pressure of any impact can rupture the thin-layered capillary and bruising occurs when blood rushes into the space between tissues. White blood cells eat the nutrients from the broken capillary tissue and recycle it basically. There is no way to get rid of them once they are broken, bruising will occur and it takes time before new capillaries can replace the old, the blood will be soaked up, and the bruising disappears.Therefore the only way to deal with broken capillaries is to wait for them to disappear on their own.
