Couperose

---

Couperose or rosacea is an excessive dilation of capillaries that supply blood to the skin because of poor blood flow due to capillary congestion. This dilation is more visible in people with clear, thin skin. It typically originates on the cheeks and nostrils. It usually underscores the capillaries forming a branch-like pattern and entails a very marked reduction in blood supply to the dermis. It is, therefore, a very real aesthetic face problem for those suffering from it.

The main factor underlying the appearance of couperose is sudden changes in temperature. However, other factors such as unprotected exposure to the wind or radiation, hormonal factors and age-related blood vessel compression also play a relevant role in their manifestation. Besides, it tends to appear in people with sensitive skin.

The most effective way to deal with couperose skin is acting as soon as it appears, by decongesting the skin. In order to achieve this, Freihaut offers OxygenO2 a cosmetic treatment therapy that can be applied both at the salon and in the home aimed at improving blood circulation on facial skin.
