Couperose is a common skin condition where small, visible blood vessels (broken capillaries) are visible on the cheeks, nose, and sometimes other parts of the face. It often occurs due to sensitive skin, rosacea, or prolonged sun exposure.
The main causes are: Hereditary predisposition, sun damage and UV radiation, extreme temperatures (cold or heat), alcohol consumption and spicy food, skin inflammation and rosacea.
Treatment options include: Laser therapy or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to reduce redness and visible vessels, topical creams to strengthen vessel walls and reduce inflammation, gentle skincare without irritating substances, Celluma LED Light Therapy for calming the skin and reducing redness, advice for avoiding and managing triggers.
Couperose is usually a chronic condition that doesn't completely disappear, but with proper treatment it can be well managed and visibly improved.
No, couperose mainly refers to visible broken blood vessels. Rosacea is a broader inflammatory skin disease that, in addition to couperose, can also cause redness, pimples, and swelling.
