CUPEROSIS

Couperose is a dilated capillary network located mainly on the face. In cosmetology, such vessels are called couperosis, in dermatology - telangiectasia. On the face, couperose is found mainly on the nose, wings of the nose, cheeks and chin. Couperosis is mainly found in people with fair and sensitive skin. Visually, it looks like a network of small blood vessels in the skin. Symptoms include skin inflammation and redness, burning, itching and prickling sensation.

Reasons:

At a young age, the vessel wall is healthy, the vessels expand when there is a need for increased blood circulation and narrow when there is no need. Over the years, the elasticity of the connective tissue fibers decreases and the vascular walls weaken. As a result, due to the effect of blood pressure, the veins expand and increase in size and, unable to return to their previous state, begin to appear on the face. This condition is called couperosis.

Symptoms of couperosis:

• Enlarged nodules are formed on the face, which are fed by many blood vessels
• Characteristic vascular asterisks are formed
