Couperose skin is one of the most unpleasant conditions, primarily affecting aesthetics. Among Poles, the problem of bursting capillaries occurs very often. Perhaps this is due to the very light skin color or is genetically determined, but nevertheless, it can effectively reduce self-confidence and satisfaction with appearance, and unattractive stars and redness can appear on the face at any moment. With couperose skin, care is extremely important, and the closure of capillaries is also effective.
Characteristics of couperose skin
As for couperose skin, the characteristics are very simple. A characteristic feature of this type of skin is a tendency to burst capillaries, which manifests itself in the form of “stars”, redness, microstagnations, and erythema. In addition, capillary skin is extremely sensitive, and even the smallest external factor can affect the rupture of capillaries. This type of skin is especially noticeable in the fall and winter. With a sharp change in environment from cold to heat, capillaries can quickly burst and redden. It is difficult to indicate a direct cause of a tendency to rupture vessels, most often it is simply genetically determined. However, the following can also contribute to the exacerbation of the problem:
- hormonal disorders (excessive production of estrogens),
- rapid temperature changes,
- excessive sun exposure,
- unfavorable diet (spicy spices),
- frequent use of a hot bath, visiting a sauna and steam room,
- consumption of a large amount of alcohol (especially red wine).
The presence of the above factors, as well as excessive stress, high physical exertion, and genetic predisposition contribute to the deterioration of the condition of couperose skin.
Skin vessel care
In the case of couperose skin, pay attention to proper care. First of all, avoid drying preparations containing alcohol, as well as means that cause irritation. Also, be especially careful when exfoliating the epidermis. In the case of this problem, enzyme peeling is better than mechanical. Unfortunately, vessels are highly visible, they are difficult to hide even under very well covering foundation, so it is best to carry out the process of closing vessels. This is the only effective way to reduce visible redness on the face, which also allows you to avoid the recurrence of the problem.
Treatment of couperose skin
With serious skin problems, it is better not to act on your own, but to trust the consultation of specialists. In the case of couperose skin, laser procedures are recommended, which will allow you to safely and effectively close capillaries and significantly reduce skin problems. One of the methods of laser vessel closure is Thunder MT. This device has two laser beams – alexandrite and neodymium-yag, which enhance the effect, ensuring safety. In addition, the device is equipped with a cooling system, which provides comfort and significantly reduces the pain that can be felt during the procedure.
Consequences of laser treatment
Laser treatment of couperose skin is very precise, the laser beam captures only blood vessels, affecting only them. Usually one treatment is needed, although if necessary, it can be repeated. Swelling and redness may appear immediately after laser treatment, but after a recovery period of up to 2 weeks, the skin condition improves and the problem of burst capillaries disappears.
