FAQ about couperose

Is laser therapy effective against couperose?

Yes, laser treatments for couperose can be effective and reduce the visibility of dilated blood vessels.

How can couperose flare-ups be prevented?

By avoiding triggers (spicy foods, stress, etc.), using soothing skincare products and protecting the skin from sun exposure, it is possible to limit flare-ups of couperose.

Is couperose a form of acne?

No, although it is sometimes confused with acne, couperosis has a distinct aetiology and is linked to vascular problems.

Can make-up be applied to couperose-prone skin?

Yes, green colour correctors and certain specifically formulated foundations can help to camouflage the redness of couperose.

Which ingredients should be avoided in skincare when managing couperose?

Irritant substances, such as alcohol derivatives, fragrances and certain exfoliating acids, should be avoided in cases of couperose. Furthermore, cosmetics containing retinoids are not recommended for rosacea-prone skin.

Is couperose a serious medical condition?

No, couperose is a medically benign condition. However, it can cause discomfort, sensations of warmth and aesthetic concerns.

How can one distinguish transient redness from couperose?

Although only a doctor can diagnose couperose couperose, it is useful to know that transient redness appears sporadically in response to a stimulus (cold, heat, emotion) and fades rapidly. Couperose, by contrast, is characterised by persistent redness associated with blood vessels that remain dilated almost continuously.

Is couperose an inherited condition?

A genetic predisposition appears to play an important role in the onset of couperose. Indeed, people with a family history of flushing or rosacea are more likely to develop couperose. However, it is not, strictly speaking, a hereditary disease.

Which skin types are most susceptible to couperose?

Fair, thin and sensitive skin is more frequently affected by couperose. However, this condition can affect all skin phototypes.

Does couperose cause itching or pain?

Couperose may be accompanied by sensations of warmth, tingling or tightness. These symptoms are associated with vascular and cutaneous hyperreactivity.
