Couperosis: how to get rid of spider veins? Video
Couperosis is a skin disease in which blood vessels dilate and lose their elasticity, resulting in the appearance of “meshes” and “stars”. More often rosacea manifests itself on the face, less often on the body. Such “patterns” are successfully corrected with the help of cosmetic procedures and are treated with effective folk remedies.
Couperose: how to get rid
The causes of the vascular “mesh” on the face
Since fragile vessels can be inherited, rosacea is a disease with a genetic predisposition. In addition, spider veins more often occur in the owners of sensitive skin, which reacts sharply to allergens and aggressive environmental factors.
But even normal skin is prone to rosacea and provoke its sudden temperature drops, prolonged exposure to the sun, as well as alcohol abuse, smoking, too spicy and hot food
Also, rosacea occurs due to weakened immunity, excessive stress, hormonal disorders, chronic liver and gastrointestinal tract disease, etc.
Couperose treatment: salon procedures
The following procedures are practiced in beauty salons, with the help of which they fight couperosis:
- electrocoagulation
- correction of the vascular “mesh” using ELOS technology
- laser application
- photorejuvenation
- ozone therapy
- non-injection mesotherapy
Large “stars” and single vessels are removed by electrocoagulation. This method is considered traumatic: the bursting vessel is exposed to an electric current that flows through the hair electrode. After such a procedure, pinpoint scars may remain and pigmentation may form.
You also need to enrich your diet with fresh herbs (parsley, celery, etc.): this will strengthen blood vessels and give the body strength in the fight against “stars”
The ELOS procedure is a method of combating rosacea combining high frequency current and light energy. It does not cause burns. During this procedure, vascular “stars”, age spots, fine wrinkles are removed, and even the skin is rejuvenated.
The most common method of dealing with rosacea is laser coagulation. The damaged vessel, absorbing the laser beam, heats up to 60–65 ° С, as a result of which the vessel walls stick together.
During photorejuvenation, a high-intensity light pulse is applied to the skin.
During this procedure, vascular networks, wrinkles, enlarged pores and acne are successfully removed.
Ozone therapy is a procedure in which oxygen and ozone are injected under the skin. This method is considered gentle.
With non-injection mesotherapy, exposure to the skin of the face is performed using radio waves and current. As a result of this procedure, blood circulation improves, thanks to which stagnation is resolved.
Additional salon procedures aimed at combating “stars” include:
- deep cleansing of the skin
- nutrition
- the use of plasticizing cooling masks and cosmetics with collagen
For deep cleansing of the skin suffering from rosacea, a gentle peeling with plant enzymes (for example, with papain and bromelain) is used.
To relieve inflammation, a procedure is prescribed during which the skin is irrigated with steam with lavender or sage extracts
Additional nutrition for the skin with spider veins is essential. This procedure involves applying a nutritious cocktail to the prepared skin, which should contain a high concentration of active ingredients (oils, vitamins, extracts and other useful elements).
For greater effect, the treatment program is supplemented with collagen masks. And at the final stages of treatment, plasticizing cosmetics with a cooling effect are used (such masks contain algae, vitamins, green tea extract and other useful components).
Traditional remedies for spider veins
How to remove the mesh with folk remedies
Aloe is a wonderful helper in the fight against “stars”: its juice perfectly brightens the skin, nourishes and moisturizes it. To do this, take a piece of aloe and place it in the refrigerator for several days. Before going to bed, cleanse the skin with tea infusion and rub it with a cut part of aloe leaf, and then cover it with a nourishing cream. If during the procedure there is a slight burning sensation, you need to be patient (usually after 2-3 procedures, the feeling of discomfort will disappear). It is recommended to do 10-12 procedures, which should be performed every other day.
If fresh aloe juice is used to treat rosacea, more than 8 drops cannot be used
A mask is effective in the treatment of rosacea, which contains the following components:
- 1 tbsp sea buckthorn juice
- 1 tsp starch
Instead of sea buckthorn, you can use strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, lingonberries or currants. The components are mixed, after which the therapeutic mask is applied to the problem area of the skin for 13-15 minutes. Wash off the mixture with warm water, then cover the face with a moisturizer.
The procedure is recommended to be performed twice a week.
And also infusion of parsley with milk fights against “stars”.
It is prepared from:
- handfuls of chopped herbs or parsley root
- ½ cup boiling water
- a little milk
Parsley is poured with freshly boiled water, the solution is infused for 18–20 minutes, then filtered and diluted with chilled boiled milk (1: 1 ratio). The product prepared according to this recipe is used as a compress. The recommended duration of the procedure is 27-30 minutes a day.
