Introduction:

Couperosis is a very common affliction that can affect anyone. It's very possible that you've never heard of it. It's so popular that many people confuse it with rosacea.

Couperosis, although typically a minor problem with few complications, may develop into a serious problem if not treated properly. Couperosis also produces red spots on the forehead, which can be very painful and bothersome. We'll talk about what it is and how to treat it in this blog.

What is Couperosis?

Couperosis is a skin disease caused by microcirculation issues. Blood vessels in the skin of the face are the most often affected. As a consequence, tiny varicose veins appear on various parts of the face. Couperosis may affect any skin type. Emotional tension, alcohol, caffeine, spicy food, cigarettes, stomach problems, prolonged sun exposure, or long-term use of topical corticosteroids are all risk factors. Since there are many contacts between the skin and the nervous system, this happens. However, it is important to note that Couperosis is not a skin disorder.

Symptoms of the Couperose Skin Disease

Couperose skin can affect anyone, but it is most common in women over 30 with fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.

Depending on the form of Rosacea they have, people with Couperose skin can experience any of the following symptoms:

• Facial flushing and redness in the middle of the face

• Blood vessels that are visible

• Skin that is responsive

• Skin that is stinging and burning

• Pimples and pustules that may or may not contain pus

• Skin thickening, particularly around the nose

• The appearance of a swollen nose

• Eyes that are dusty, irritated, and swollen

Causes of the Couperose skin

The exact cause of rosacea and Couperose skin is unknown. Genetics, immune system reactions, environmental conditions, exposure to certain microorganisms, and nerve dysfunction that controls blood vessels are all thought to play a role in its growth. Rosacea is a long-term disease with symptoms that come and go in waves. Flare-ups can be triggered by the following factors:

• Hot beverages

• Peppery and Spicy food

• Cinnamaldehyde-containing foods include chocolate, cinnamon, tomatoes, and citrus fruits.

• Alcoholic beverages

• Temperature extremes

• UV (ultraviolet) radiation and exposure to the wind

• Heightened feelings

• Heavy workout

• Low quality beauty/ cosmetic products

• Blood vessel dilation due to some medications

Treatment of Couperosis

It is best to ascertain the cause of the disease before beginning treatment. If the presence of telangiectasias are caused by a disease of the inner organs, the disease must be treated. Furthermore, skin treatment will only eradicate existing disease symptoms and will not prevent the emergence of new ones.

Since the main methods of treatment complement one another and impact various stages of the body, good outcomes can be achieved by using a complex approach. Naturally, the sooner you begin treatment, the faster you can see a positive result.

Healthy Dietary Guidelines

Spicy and hot foods, as well as pickles, chocolate, yeast items, strawberries, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages, should all be avoided.

Everyday Skincare

It is important to use special everyday skincare products that do not destroy the epidermis' protective layer and do not contain spirit or abrasive substances. A potent moisturizer, soothing cream with anti inflammatory effects is a base of treating this chronic condition. 

Vitamin Therapy

It requires the use of dietary supplements and special cosmetics. The following are the key components:

1. Flavonoids (Vitamin P), which help to maintain skin elasticity and reduce capillary fragility.

2. Vitamin K improves vascular wall protection and decreases permeability.

3. Vitamin C promotes the production of new collagen, strengthens the vascular wall, and has vasoconstrictive effects.

Many of the approaches mentioned above have a localized short-term effect and are only successful in the early stages of the disease. In more difficult circumstances, the patient should seek the advice of a doctor who will provide appropriate treatment.

How we can cure Couperose Skin Condition?

1. Mesotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting drugs into the vascular walls to improve them.

2. Professional skincare for sensitive skin helps to improve blood vessels.

3. Face lymph-drainage massage with Beautytek-therapy, like LPG Lift-6, which improves the condition of facial blood vessels.

4. Vitamin C and P supplementation, as well as phytotherapy (arnica, horse chestnut and rose hips).

5. Alcohol, caffeine, and hot and spicy foods should be consumed in moderation.

6. The primary goal of home care is to moisturize and cover.

7. When going out, moisturizers and barrier creams should be used. This is particularly critical during the winter months.

8. Sunscreen should be applied on a daily basis.

Conclusion

Couperose, also known as Rosacea, is a common inflammatory skin condition. It induces redness in the center of your face, clear blood vessels, and sensitive skin in most people. Couperose skin is caused by an unknown factor, and there is currently no cure. Symptoms are managed by a combination of lifestyle changes, drugs, and laser therapies. It's a good idea to see a doctor before beginning rosacea therapy so that any problems with similar symptoms can be ruled out.
