What is couperose?
Under this incomprehensible medical term, there is a violation of blood circulation, a particular case of telangiectasia. Kuperoz - this is not a disease, but rather an annoying cosmetic defect, not dangerous to health. With a persistent expansion of small vessels and capillaries, an unpleasant venous pattern forms on the surface of the skin. Vascular asterixes can appear anywhere in the body, and the presence of such patterns on the legs generally indicates chronic venous insufficiency and the onset of varicose veins. Particularly afflicts the couperose on the face. The problem can affect any person, but most often they suffer from women. Moreover, men are less inclined to pay attention to the shortcomings of the skin. People with light and thin skin get into the risk group, which can easily cause redness and irritation. Kuperoznye vascular pathologies can be as completely invisible, and cover a large part of the face. This defect requires complex dermatological and cosmetic therapy.
Why there is a couperose?
What is it, we have already found out, but what is the mechanism of occurrence of this Th annoying defect? Those who believe that the problem arises only from external negative effects on the skin of the face are not right. Of course, the great importance is the temperature effect (for example, prolonged exposure to cold or heat), as well as micro-injury during intense rubbing. But the main reasons for the appearance of couperose on the skin is still a hereditary weakness of the vessels, an unbalanced diet with the abuse of acute and salty foods and excessive physical exertion. Some of the most dangerous enemies of blood vessels are alcohol and smoking. A famous joke about a red nose in a drunkard hints at a couperose. It is a well-known medical fact that cigarettes and ethyl alcohol quickly destroy blood vessels, so if you want to keep youth and beauty for a long time, it's time to abandon these dubious pleasures. Also not the last role in the development of this defect is played by hormonal disorders, liver diseases and vegetovascular dystonia.
How to cure cuperose
