Couperose is a condition where the skin looks red due to the presence of small, dilated blood vessels that appear as fine red or bluish lines. At a closer look the dilated capillaries look like fine red threads or tiny spiderwebs.
Couperose occurs due to poor blood circulation and with ageing of the skin, when it starts to lose its elasticity. Unhealthy lifestyles, such excessive drinking, smoking, wrong skin care or extreme temperature fluctuations may also make you prone to couperose. Couperose is more common on thin, dry and sensitive skin types.
Solution:
Photorejuvenation produces excellent results in treating couperose. IPL treatment calls forth a light reactive inflammation, which encourages the renewal of collagen. As a result, the skin renews and becomes more elastic. Photorejuvenation improves overall skin texture and complexion.
