Couperosis is a red vascular network on the skin of the face, which occurs as a result of impaired blood circulation in small vessels (capillaries). Couperose spots can take the shape of an asterisk or look like a vascular spider web, clearly visible under the skin. Traitorous spots most often appear on the cheeks, cheekbones, nose, much less often they can be seen on the forehead or chin. The vascular mesh often acquires a bluish tint, which leads to a deterioration in appearance and is perceived as a serious aesthetic problem.

Especially popular are medicinal ointments and creams designed to care for problem skin and presented by pharmacy brands or products from the line of professional cosmetics. What requirements should such cosmetics meet and how to find effective cream for rosacea on the face?, we will tell in this article.

It is best to use natural based creams that contain natural oils, plant extracts, vitamins A, E, C, K. A good effect can be achieved by means based on grapes, green tea, arnica, chamomile, horse chestnut, witch hazel. Oils (jojoba, shea, olive, wheat germ or grape seed) are an important ingredient that can relieve irritation, soothe and soften dry skin.

At the same time, an incorrectly selected product can cause significant harm to sensitive skin. With rosacea, it is not recommended to use products based on alcohol, menthol, essential oils (mint, clove, eucalyptus), which dry the skin very much.

Ointments

If a cream for rosacea on the face in the pharmacy can be purchased freely, then medicinal preparations in the form of ointments should be prescribed by a dermatologist or cosmetologist. For the treatment of spider veins, ointments are used less often, since such drugs are intended for the treatment of much more severe vascular changes.

It is better to eliminate mild forms of rosacea with medical cosmetics, in severe cases, first of all, you should identify problems in the body, deal with them, and then treat rosacea with complex measures, including the use of local drugs and physiotherapy procedures. At the same time, the doctor may prescribe the use of heparin or troxevasin ointment to improve the condition of the skin.

The appearance of the vascular network, protruding through the skin, gives little joy. And it is especially unpleasant if rosacea, as the vascular network is called, is found on the face. To combat this problem, you can find many creams and ointments in the pharmacy. How not to get lost in such an assortment and choose the right product?

Briefly about the main thing: what is rosacea, its types and stages

Many useful creams and ointments have been developed for the treatment of couperose skin.

There is one more significant plus of pharmacy cosmetics. All drugs have been tested and, before they hit the shelves of pharmacies, were found to be completely safe for humans.

Treatment of rosacea on the face with drugs from the pharmacy: TOP-9 rating of the best drugs

The pharmacy will offer a variety of ointments and creams. In order not to be mistaken with the choice, carefully study the composition of such drugs. They should contain components that help restore the epidermis and normalize blood circulation. In addition, dermatologists advise to prefer those products that contain as few chemical components as possible.

Before looking at the most effective local remedies, carefully consider the table below. It will help you understand what effect the ingredients in the selected creams have.

Useful ingredients of couperose cosmetics and their effect on the skin - table

If the composition of cosmetics includes such components as alcohol, mint, cloves, menthol, eucalyptus, then it is better to refuse to use these products for couperose skin. These drugs lead to excessive dryness of the integument.

Before purchasing a cream, carefully study the composition of the product

Heparin ointment is a complex preparation designed to fight blood clots. The medicine contains 3 active substances that can help in the fight against rosacea:

• Heparin sodium. This substance provides anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant effects (prevents the formation of blood clots). Heparin reduces tissue edema, activates microcirculation in the dermis and accelerates the process of resorption of blood clots and hematomas.
• Benzyl nicotinate. This remedy improves blood circulation. In addition, it provides improved penetration of heparin into the skin.
• Benzocaine. The component provides local anesthesia.

Despite the fact that rosacea is not included in the instructions for use among the list of indications, Heparin ointment is often used specifically for the treatment of telangiectasia. Moreover, judging by the reviews, such therapy is very effective. After completing the full course, the vascular network becomes less pronounced, and sometimes completely disappears.

The ointment is applied to the previously cleaned couperose integument in a thin layer and gently rubbed into the epidermis. This application is repeated 2-3 times a day. The duration of therapy depends on the severity of the problem and can be 3-7 days.

The price of Heparin ointment is 70 rubles.

I had to deal with the action of Heparin ointment. Of course, I did not treat rosacea with this remedy, but fought with a bruise resulting from an unsuccessful fall on the ice. So, I applied the product three times a day and rubbed it lightly into the skin. In just 3-4 days, the hematoma turned from purple-violet to yellow, and after a couple of days it began to dissolve quite successfully.

Heparin ointment can significantly reduce redness and reduce the severity of the vascular network

Gel Troxerutin

The main active ingredient of the gel is troxerutin. This substance belongs to the category of angioprotectors. It is thanks to troxerutin that the gel has the following effects:

• prevents puffiness;
• suppresses inflammatory processes in the vessels;
• strengthens the venous walls;
• normalizes the permeability of blood vessels;
• restores microcirculation;
• reduces the risk of stagnation.

The gel is highly effective in the treatment of the initial stage of rosacea. Already on the 7-10th day, patients notice a stable improvement (the vascular pattern becomes less pronounced, and the skin acquires elasticity). To achieve positive results in advanced stages of rosacea, doctors recommend combining the gel with the internal intake of Troxerutin capsules.

The gel can be applied up to 3 times a day. To enhance its absorption, the drug is applied to a slightly damp face, and then gently rubbed into the epidermis. The duration of therapy can be 10-14 days.

The cost of the drug depends on the pricing policy of the pharmacy and the manufacturer. On average, the price of Troxerutin gel varies between 43-68 rubles.

I myself have never used this gel, because I do not suffer from rosacea or other vascular pathologies, but I know about the high effectiveness of Troxerutin from my girlfriend. She has long suffered from varicose veins. The phlebologist, whose girlfriend is being observed, prescribed Troxerutin gel in combination with capsules for her. After completing the entire course of treatment, my friend boasted that this drug "just put her on her feet." She noted that the veins became less noticeable, the constant heaviness and fatigue in the legs disappeared, and the whole body seemed to look younger for several years.

To reduce the severity of rosacea, the doctor may recommend taking Troxerutin capsules

1. At the initial stage, the skin on the face turns red under the influence external factors, severe and prolonged itching appears. But the hyperemia disappears sharply, since the vessels still retain their elasticity.
2. The second stage is characterized by the appearance of spider veins that do not disappear.
3. At the last stage, the complexion becomes gray, the epidermis is dry and dried due to impaired blood circulation and lack of cell nutrition.

It is possible to cure the pathology at the first and second stages, however, at the last stage, the situation cannot be corrected with cosmetic and pharmaceutical means.

For many women, the topic of which drugs for the treatment of rosacea on the face will help get rid of this harmless, but extremely unpleasant cosmetic defect is relevant.

In fact, the treatment of rosacea is not limited to taking medications. There are a number of cosmetic procedures that are as effective as, and maybe even more, than ointments and compresses.

After reading this article, you can choose the method of rosacea treatment that is right for you.

Couperosis is a violation of blood circulation in the subcutaneous layer. Outwardly, the disease manifests itself as asterisks or a mesh consisting of abnormally dilated capillaries.

Asterisks appear on the cheeks, on the wings of the nose, on the chin. Dilated capillaries of red or of blue color stand out sharply against the background of the face.

The main cause of rosacea is called a genetic predisposition. But this disease can be triggered by a number of chronic diseases associated with the cardiovascular system and the gastrointestinal tract.

The condition of the capillaries is especially affected by hypertension and liver diseases.

Smoking and alcohol affect the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels - sooner or later these bad habits will certainly affect the face.

Alcoholism is an important reason for the appearance of the vascular network. Moreover, rosacea can occur not only in those who abuse alcohol, but even in those who use it very moderately.

Everyone knows that nicotine spoils blood vessels. Even the smallest capillaries on the face are also vessels, so they suffer from tobacco no less than arteries and veins.

Dry and thin skin is especially susceptible to rosacea, but those with thick and oily skin are not immune from the appearance of a blue-red mesh, only in this case it is especially often formed on the wings of the nose.

If parents have rosacea, then, with a high degree of probability, children will also have it, of course, when they grow up.

Irradiation in a solarium or excessive tanning in the sun leads to the appearance of rosacea. Cosmetologists know such a phenomenon as photoaging of the skin, and rosacea is one of the manifestations of photoaging.

It is believed that the temperature difference trains the vessels, making them more elastic. However, extreme high or low temperatures negatively affect any fabric.

So, even a slight frostbite can lead to rosacea. Mesh on the face often occurs in those who work in hot shops.

In this case, even the male skin becomes susceptible to rosacea, and the female skin becomes more delicate and thinner than it is worth talking about.

Incorrect facial care can provoke rosacea. A number of intensive cosmetic procedures thin, dehydrate the skin, injure the dermis, and increase its susceptibility to harmful climatic factors.

Couperosis is dangerous if it is located on internal organs and tissues: in the lungs, stomach, nasopharynx - in this case, there is a danger of internal bleeding, which will have to be treated, including promptly.

Couperosis as a symptom of the disease

The vascular mesh may not be just a cosmetic defect.

She warns that there are deeper disturbances in the body than just the expansion of capillaries visible to the naked eye:

• Hormonal disturbance - if, simultaneously with rosacea, body weight has changed dramatically and mood swings appear, you need to contact an endocrinologist;
• Disorders in the work of the sex glands - in this case, the gynecologist should treat;
• Hypertension - it's worth checking your blood pressure. If the tonometer shows numbers higher than 140/90, then you need to contact a cardiologist or therapist. As a result, during the treatment, the pressure will decrease, the couperose mesh will turn pale, and with it the risk of a heart attack or stroke will move away;
• Inflammation of the sinuses. If a vascular network has appeared on the wings of the nose and at the same time the nose is constantly blocked, it is necessary to visit an otolaryngologist;
• Couperosis is a consequence of dysbiosis, gastritis, allergies and many other pathologies.

A dermatologist can prescribe treatment with pharmacy drugs. He will do this after conducting a series of tests, because, as mentioned above, rosacea indicates general health problems, which means that the treatment will not be limited to cosmetic procedures alone.

In cosmetic clinics for the treatment of rosacea, they offer special procedures: electrocoagulation, phototherapy, and others. Good reviews for laser treatment.

In this case, the damaged capillaries are simply removed. Laser treatment is a painless procedure that leaves no wound or scar.

But, unfortunately, rosacea is a stubborn disease, after treatment it occurs again and again, and it is not known where the vascular network will appear next time.

Preparations for rosacea

For the treatment of rosacea, the same drugs are used as for varicose veins.

Drug number 1 - Troxevasin-gel containing rutin or vitamin P. This substance strengthens the capillaries, makes them elastic, improves blood circulation in the outer layer of the skin.

The drug is rubbed into the damaged areas twice a day. If large areas of the skin are damaged, then Troxevasin can be applied simultaneously with the gel in capsules.

The drug should not be used in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and for kidney disease. It can also cause allergies and exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease.

For the treatment of rosacea, the drug Ascorutin is used. This preparation also contains vitamins P and C - they tone and strengthen small capillaries.
