Couperose, also called rosacea, is a common facial blemish in women, especially over 30, but it also affects men with an incidence of about 20%. It is a dilation of the capillaries and manifests itself with the appearance of reddish patches or areas, often spotted, concentrated in the area of the cheeks, cheekbones and between the wings of the nose.
Those who suffer from rosacea usually also feel a sensation of heat and tingling in the affected areas, especially in the case of emotional or temperature changes, which generally precedes the development of visible blemishes. The cause of rosacea is rooted in genetics, with a higher probability of development if parents or grandparents suffer from it. However, there are still several factors that can trigger or worsen the condition, such as alcohol consumption, sudden changes in temperature, conditions of strong stress, excessive exposure to UV rays, excessive consumption of spices, vitamin deficiencies or contact with allergens.
It is therefore recommended for those who suffer from it or fear suffering from it due to genetic issues, to avoid the abuse of alcohol and overly spicy foods, to take multivitamins, to be careful of sudden changes in temperature and to use high protection sunscreens.
Laser rosacea
Vascular laser is considered the definitive treatment for rosacea. It usually involves local anesthesia to reduce pain and cold compresses to avoid skin lesions. It works by stimulating blood coagulation in the capillaries through the heat of the laser, causing the capillary to close and, over time, the rosacea to decrease. Sessions range from 1 in the simplest cases to 4, spaced a month apart, and it is generally recommended if less invasive treatments such as creams and natural remedies have not been successful.
Couperose Cream
Creams are the first choice for the prevention and treatment of rosacea and, if used correctly, they are generally very effective and well tolerated by the majority of people. The choice of the right cream depends on the age of the person as well as the severity of the rosacea development. For preventive treatments, when the blemish is not yet present but the sensations of tingling and heat on the face have begun to be felt, or in the case of mild rosacea, products such as Arval Couperoll Emergency Face Cream which has a soothing and protective action against UV rays, thanks to the presence of the SPF20 factor.
