Couperose: Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions

Couperose, a form of rosacea, is a skin condition characterized by the presence of small, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia) visible on the surface of the skin. Redness is primarily localized on the cheeks, cheekbones, and around the nose. In addition to redness, you may experience unusual warmth and increased skin sensitivity.

Often hereditary, couperose can be triggered by various factors such as temperature fluctuations, lifestyle (alcohol and smoking), UV exposure, certain medications, and the use of cosmetics and skin irritants. This condition is more common in women and individuals with sensitive and fair skin.

Treatment Options for Couperose and Rosacea: At Epiderma, the treatment of couperose is performed through sclerotherapy or photorejuvenation. Sclerotherapy involves small injections of sclerosing agents to reduce the appearance of dilated blood vessels. Photorejuvenation uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to address specific skin conditions.

Good to know

What is the difference between rosacea and couperose?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by redness and inflammation of the skin, often including papules and pustules. It is a broader condition with a range of symptoms. Couperose is a specific form of rosacea, primarily marked by dilated blood vessels visible on the skin’s surface, without the papules and pustules typical of rosacea.

Information

How does a couperose treatment work?

1- Sclerotherapy Treatment

During your initial consultation, you will be seen by a doctor trained in phlebology to assess your health. They will conduct a thorough examination of the telangiectasias on your face to determine the most suitable treatment for your needs.

The treatment of couperose through sclerotherapy is administered by a doctor or nurse. It involves injecting a sclerosing agent into the vein to be treated, with the dosage and strength determined beforehand. This treatment is quick, non-invasive, and requires no recovery time. To optimize results, follow-up sessions may be recommended based on your needs, and the necessity for additional treatments will be assessed.

2- Photorejuvenation Treatment

During your first visit for couperose treatment, you will meet with a medical aesthetic technician who will discuss your concerns and evaluate your health. During each session, an intense pulsed light (IPL) device is specifically adjusted to target the dilated blood vessels responsible for redness. After the treatment, redness and a temporary intensification of spots may occur before the skin dries and exfoliates naturally. It is important to apply sunscreen to protect the skin.

FAQ

How can couperose be prevented?

Although couperose is often hereditary, certain factors can worsen it. To prevent its appearance or limit its progression, it is recommended to:

– Protect your skin from UV rays by using appropriate sunscreen.

– Avoid extreme temperatures and sudden temperature changes.

– Reduce alcohol and tobacco consumption.

– Choose gentle skincare products and avoid irritants like harsh cosmetics.

– Opt for a balanced diet rich in antioxidants to maintain your skin’s health.
Does couperose affect all skin types?

Couperose mainly affects individuals with fair and sensitive skin. However, it can affect all skin types, although people with darker skin are less likely to develop visible symptoms. Couperose may also be more common in women and those with a family history of rosacea.
Can couperose return after treatment?

Although treatments such as sclerotherapy and photorejuvenation offer significant and lasting improvement for couperose, the condition can return over time, especially if trigger factors, like sun exposure or alcohol, are not avoided. Follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain long-term results.
