Regardless of age, it is not uncommon to see red spots or more severe redness appear on the face. The skin is exposed to daily stress, pollution, and sunlight—especially in the city.

Often these aggressions can have serious consequences and cause vascular disorders in different areas of the face, particularly around the nose or neck.

This redness is either rosacea, erythroses or couperose. Though these three vary in terms of severity, they are all chronic skin diseases that affect people as early as the age of 20.

The thinner and lighter the skin on the face, the more prone it is to redness. The redness can often be accompanied by pimples and acne, spread over the cheeks, nose and forehead.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF REDNESS AND THEIR CAUSES

  • Erythrosis: This is a form of congestive skin eruption, also called “a flush”. With age, this redness becomes permanent. —becoming rosacea. At this stage we speak of erythrosis. This redness is particularly common on sensitive or hypersensitive skin and can be accompanied by hot flashes. Erythrosis is favored by strong temperature changes, spicy food, alcohol, and sunlight.
  • Rosacea: It is caused by a dilation of the blood vessels resulting from a sudden change in outside temperatures, after intense physical exercise or after a strong emotion. The influx of blood accelerates and causes strong permanent redness to appear. When the skin is very sensitive or prone to particularly violent attacks, this inflammation can cause an acne attack and the appearance of pimples—called acne rosacea.
  • Couperose: It can be due to an immune dysfunction or to the presence of certain bacteria. It consists of small vessels that become very visible on the surface of the facial skin. Alcohol or a diet too rich in fat can be aggravating factors. With age, the skin is more sensitive and becomes more vascularized, which increases the chances of the appearance of these small unsightly vessels. Most of the time, Couperose is located on the nose, cheeks, or chin.

WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER TREATMENT FOR COUPEROSE AND REDNESS ON THE SKIN?

Redness and Couperose can be treated locally with different aesthetic medicine techniques.

The results will considerably reduce the redness but are not permanent. It’s necessary to consistently treat them through aesthetic medicine to maintain the desired appearance.

To avoid damaging the skin or causing other issues, it is best to carry out a treatment as soon as they appear, always after consulting a dermatologist to first determine the causes and develop the appropriate plan.

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS FOR REDNESS

For the treatment of rosacea, erythrosis and couperose, our expert doctors will recommend a treatment plan that includes the use of a topical cream or even antibiotics to prepare the skin before and/or after IPL treatments to maintain the effects of the laser.

The Harmony laser: Skincare Agency is equipped with the Alma Harmony Lite laser, the world leader in the field of lasers. This technology uses intense pulsed light perfectly adapted to the treatment of couperose, rosacea and small blood vessels. The very precise handpieces target the specific areas requiring treatment.
Each laser session also has the side effect of strengthening the skin by making it denser, more toned, and smoother.
The laser will be swept over the entire surface of the skin, focusing on the red areas, and then precise shots will be fired on the vascular areas. The effects are immediate from the first session.

 

Medical LED (photo stimulation technique) is proposed alone or in addition to laser sessions.

The use of red and infrared light has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect that will significantly reduce redness.

From the first session, the skin is relieved and regains its radiance.

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF REDNESS AND COUPEROSE

  • How can I prevent couperose or redness of the skin?

    • To limit the appearance of red spots or couperose, you must follow a daily skin care routine that allows you to protect your skin from external aggressions and avoid any additional sensitization, whether it be extreme hot or cold or UV rays.

    You should also watch your diet by limiting spicy foods and limit alcohol consumption. Pamper your skin with soothing skin care products daily, avoid scrubbing as much as possible and choose non-aggressive cosmetic products.

  • How can I get rid of couperose?

    • After a precise diagnosis established by a dermatologist, IPL laser treatment is often the most recommended way to remove couperose and eliminate the blood vessels that are visible. The effects are almost immediate, a few hours after the first session, but several sessions are generally necessary depending on the severity and the area to be treated.

  • Are the treatments permanent?

    • Depending on the cause of the redness and the different skin types, in some cases, when the pathology is limited, a deep treatment accompanied by a daily maintenance routine is sufficient to eliminate the problem.

    When the reasons for the redness are more profound, then regular treatment is required to stop the proliferation.

    PERSONALIZED ACCOMPANIMENT

    • To ensure that you follow the procedure recommended by our dermatologist, your Personal Beautician will take charge of you from your first consultation and will accompany you throughout your treatment plan, before, during and after each treatment.
    • They will explain to you the daily routine to follow before the treatment to prepare your skin properly, as well as the one to follow precisely after the treatment sessions to reinforce the effects.

    Advice from our founder Vanessa Marrapodi

    “The treatments we offer allow us to treat the issue and provide you with an aesthetic response, but the skin of your face needs to be cared for regularly in order to prolong the effects of the treatment and to monitor skin aging. To do this, I recommend adapting your skincare routine based on your skin type and using the dermo-cosmetic products from Dermaceutic that are calming and target redness and inflammation. This personalized routine will work deep within the skin to keep it smooth and luminous”
