Couperosis on the face: what is it?
Cuperosis (small spider veins on the face) is a disease that appears due to a violation of the microcirculation of blood. A similar condition occurs when the small vessels of the skin expand and become excessively brittle. Most often, this problem is observed on sensitive skin, because it is most susceptible to external stimuli and reacts to them with inflammation, redness. The harbingers of rosacea are itching, tingling, and burning of the skin, which occurs when the temperature drops, touch, wash.
Couperosis on the face (what it is, was described above) is most often observed in the forehead and cheeks, in the chin area and on the nose. It manifests itself as redness on the face and a network of dilated capillaries. This skin defect does not cause its owner physical inconvenience, but delivers aesthetic discomfort. After all, if you do not treat rosacea, it will progress and become noticeable. It can degenerate into a disease such as rosacea.
Many cosmetologists believe that rosacea often occurs in people who have a hereditary predisposition to this disease. To reduce the likelihood of this defect, it is necessary to avoid the influence of factors that cause impaired blood flow and provoke stagnation of blood in the veins. The causes of rosacea include:
- Temperature difference. It negatively affects sensitive skin, so this type of dermis must be protected from unnecessarily cold or hot environmental influences.
- Food. Both acute and hot adversely affect the condition of the skin.
- Smoking. This habit adversely affects the state of the whole organism as a whole and the functioning of the circulatory apparatus in particular. Very often provokes the appearance of rosacea.
- Alcohol. It has a vasodilating effect, which is poorly reflected in the state of the epidermis.
- Ultra-violet rays. They make vessels more fragile. Because of this, you must beware of prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Coffee and hot chocolate. Stimulate blood circulation in the vessels. Frequent use causes the appearance of spider veins on the face.
- Stress. Increases pressure, which disrupts the stable functioning of blood vessels and destroys the walls of capillaries.
Cuperosis is a disease that requires some treatment. If this pathology is not treated, then the skin will age faster, because it will lose a large amount of nutrients. Will cease to receive in the right amount of oxygen. It will become pale and acquire a grayish tint. Laser will help to solve this problem. Reviews about this procedure are mostly positive.

- Ozone Therapy A special oxygen-ozone solution is introduced through a microscopic needle. It improves the functioning of cells and charges them with energy and strength. This approach allows you to remove defects from the face. It is the safest method. After the procedure, scars, scars and pigmentation do not remain.
