Redness in the face can have several causes. Rosacea is one of them, but another common cause is couperose. Sometimes it is hereditary, in addition it can be aggravated by temperature changes, sun, stress, alcohol and medication. It can develop at a young age and usually worsens over the years. Couperose is most common on the nose, cheeks and chin, but also on the neck and décolletage.
The best way to treat couperose is with the Harmony laser. This is a very comprehensive and advanced system with various treatment options. It achieves perfect results. The red vessels absorb the light, a combination of laser and IPL, Intense Pulsed Light. A nice side effect is that the skin also tightens through heating, as the treatment stimulates collagen production. Another advantage of this treatment compared to burning the vessels closed (coagulation), is that the risk of pigmentation disorders is much smaller.
The combination of IPL and the laser allows us to treat all forms of couperose, including the large red vessels on the sides of the nose and chin. To get rid of couperose as quickly as possible, your skin must have a natural color. Therefore, you should not be tanned from the sun, tanning beds or self-tanning creams before the treatment. A full facial treatment takes about 30 minutes. If the neck and cleavage are also treated, it takes about 60 minutes. There is a cooling system in the laser, making the treatment tolerable. It feels as if a rubber band is being shot against the skin. There is a brief heat sensation, but that goes away immediately afterwards.
The skin may be red and warm to touch afterwards. Sometimes the skin also swells a little. This is all temporary. When removing couperose on the nostrils and cheeks, small scabs may appear. This is a normal process. Do not scratch it and wait until the scab falls off the face by itself. Immediately after the treatment, we can camouflage the red skin with Mineralogy mineral makeup. You may use your own camouflage products at home the next day.
The laser treatment must be repeated after 3-4 weeks. On average, 4-6 treatments are needed for the best results. Therefore, to maintain even skin, we recommend returning annually for a customized treatment.
You will see results after just a few weeks, the redness is less and your skin is more even. After a number of treatments you often have a 70% improvement. Depending on the redness and the amount of vessels, we can recommend coming back for a maintenance treatment.
