How to cure rosacea on the face reviews

Good afternoon, I was fair-skinned from birth, and I considered slightly red cheeks to be the norm. Choosing a cream is quite a problem; when you start using everything is fine, the second time such a buyer begins to feel a burning sensation. I stopped using it completely. A year and a half ago I gave birth to a son (I’m now 28 years old), after giving birth my eyes were filled with blood (capillaries burst) and mostly on my cheeks, slightly on my nose, the skin seemed to become transparent and the capillaries became clearly visible, from being in the sun or frost I turn red like a cancer , doesn't look very good. I went to see a cosmetologist, it turned out it was stage 2 cuperosis. They suggested a course of treatment (phototherapy, ozone therapy, massage), the downsides may be scars in the form of scars, there may be bruises for some time, and the price. On the plus side, (according to a cosmetologist) capillaries cannot be removed at home, so I would like to know if anyone has treated this at home and what the results were.

Capillaries cannot be removed at home.
I have been using La Roche Pose Toleran Riche cream for many years. Only him. I tried Toleran Ultra, Rosaliak - it was not the same. Only Toleran Rish - it is fattier than just Toleran - use constantly: at night and before work. Yes, the skin turns red due to temperature changes, but at least there is no constant redness.
Other creams: Natur Siberica - causes irritation. That and Yves Rocher. And that and Uryazh. At first, Uryazh relieved irritation and redness with a bang, but then became addictive. I actually had a tube of cream at work, and my skin was constantly red.
So for more than 10 years only Toleran Rish. I saw a cosmetologist once. I tried to remove these visible capillaries using photorejuvenation. Well, you can’t remove it all at once. But I don’t see the point in paying a ton of money so that they will show up again in a new way (and they will show up) - I don’t see the point.

I have rosacea on the wings of my nose. The first thing is to choose the right cosmetics. Renyu, onmacabim has a series for rosacea.
Then contrast washing (hardening of blood vessels). And acid peelings, mechanical cleaning and cleaning with abrasive scrubs are also contraindicated for you. Although I do peeling with mild lactic acid. This is the only acid that can be used. In winter, you need to protect your face. pro cream
You can’t clean houses, but you can prevent new ones from appearing.
By the way, about the massage. You need a very careful and proven massage therapist. One day, after a series of massages, new capillaries appeared on my face. This means that the doctor applied more pressure somewhere. And since now newly minted cosmetologists are like dogs, I would not trust a massage to everyone.
No Natura Siberica, Willow Rocher, etc. This is a terrible G.
As a pro, I buy a series of ONMAKABIM AND RENYU creams from the girls for bottling, or ANNA LOTAN (ISRAEL) In the original. in your own jars - very expensive - on tap it’s easier.
if cheaper, then La roche pose, Uriage, Kadali (Pharmacy). But I tried everything. There is no better pro. I’m 36 years old, I started using it when I was 30. I’m very pleased. There are no new vessels. If I had started earlier, nothing would have happened at all. There are no wrinkles at all, neither under the eyes nor on the forehead.
I won’t buy new clothes, but a proven cream, yes. Sweat. one face and you can’t change it

Feed the course and drink it. Make vascular strengthening masks. But this doesn't solve the problem. I chose laser, they did combined procedures. Photorejuvenation + spot removal. Some things were removed by photorejuvenation. It caused black bruises, but they went away after a week, and after 2 days they could be covered with foundation. When they removed it point by point, crusts remained in those places where the laser touched. In some places there is a scar when the scab came off. I smeared these places with a cream that resolves scars. Since they were fresh, they dried without a trace. I'm only satisfied with the laser. Before that, I constantly made vascular-strengthening masks in salons, but this was only a temporary effect.

3.
Feed - askorutin.

Plus the laser. At first, like you, I wanted to save money, but in the end you will spend more on cosmetics, and the effect is not guaranteed. If you have no tendency to scar in principle, then there is no risk. The doctor will also look at the condition of the skin and prescribe, depending on the situation, what to support and anoint after. If you are in Moscow, I can recommend my clinic - DSclinic (Novy Arbat-42), the laser and cosmetologists there are very good. But in the regions this is also not a problem, the technique is proven.

How to remove spider veins on the face and what to do to prevent it from appearing again? Four girls are treated for rosacea and rosacea at the Lazerjazz clinic.

Three of our readers with a pronounced vascular network on the face (and editor Lena Korenkova, who also has this network, although not as pronounced) came to dermatocosmetologist Yulianna Anatolyevna Kulturbaeva at the Lazerjazz clinic to prescribe a course of procedures. And along the way, we found out how to (and not need to) take care of skin prone to redness.

Raya Altasheva, 39 years old

History: "Eit started about 5 years ago. At first, some strange itching began to appear on my cheekbones and cheeks from time to time, which intensified in the heat (because of this, I stopped loving summer). Then redness and veins of blood vessels appeared. Over time, there were more of them. Foundation doesn't do a good job of concealing.»

Dr. Yulianna Kulturbaeva: We see a pronounced vascular pattern - rosacea, persistent redness on the cheeks and chin, swelling. Diagnosis: erythematotelangiectatic subtype of rosacea. A possible reason is that Raya did not use cream with SPF protection. The capillaries expanded against the background of ultraviolet radiation.

In general, there are many reasons why rosacea or rosacea occurs. Couperosis can be triggered by taking hormonal contraceptives or steroids, solar radiation and low temperatures, peelings and laser resurfacing, soft tissue injuries and even obesity. The development of rosacea is associated with genetic predisposition, impaired neuroendocrine regulation, hormonal imbalance (increased estrogen levels) and gastrointestinal pathologies (helicobacter pylori is found in 67% of patients).

There are even more factors against which rosacea and rosacea progress (weather, stress, nutrition, sauna, working in hot rooms, for example, in the kitchen). American experts suggest keeping a notebook and tracking the triggers that provoke redness on your face in your particular case. For example: “February 7, I drank wine – I’m burning.” These triggers should be reduced to a minimum if possible. Couperosis and rosacea can also be confused with contact and sunburn, lupus erythematosus and a completely normal individual feature: bright blush in young girls. Only a doctor can determine what exactly you are suffering from.

What is the difference between rosacea and rosacea?

Cuperosis is not a disease, but an accepted term in cosmetology, which refers to the expansion of intradermal blood vessels. It appears as thin red capillaries, usually in the area of ​​the wings of the nose and cheeks. Often develops in people with superficially located vessels due to heredity.

Rosacea is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease. It manifests itself as persistent redness in the central part of the face (cheeks, nose, chin) and requires systematic treatment. The peak incidence occurs between the ages of 30-60 years. There are different types of rosacea. One of them, like Rai’s, is erythematotelangiectatic - accompanied by rosacea.

The methods for solving the problem aesthetically (removing blood vessels) are the same. But it is necessary to determine what causes the pathology - rosacea or rosacea - so that after a course of procedures the capillaries do not appear again (or at least do not appear so soon). A competent cosmetologist, diagnosing rosacea, will refer the patient to a gastroenterologist, neurologist, gynecologist-endocrinologist.

Treatment regimen for Raya: at least 4 procedures using a BBL (Broad Band Line) device. LED therapy is recommended after each session. This is a post-laser procedure aimed at restoration and accelerated tissue healing. Relieves swelling and redness, improves immunity and skin quality.

Marina Kirillova, 46 years old

History: “Closely located vessels have been a feature of mine since childhood. For as long as I can remember, after physical exertion my face glowed with a scarlet flame. About 10 years ago, a capillary network appeared. I did a course of photo procedures. It hurt terribly, but it helped. Then the vessels began to sprout again, but, remembering the sensations during treatment, I put off going to the cosmetologist. Maybe with modern devices it won’t hurt so much?”

Dr. Yulianna Kulturbaeva: The vessels are dilated on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Against the background of redness, swelling has formed. Marina has the same diagnosis as Rai – rosacea (erythematotelangiectatic subtype, moderate severity).

The intensity of pain during the procedure depends on the area and severity of the vascular network. The principle of operation of all devices that combat this problem is similar: heating the vessels to the temperature at which they coagulate. But new IPL platforms have built-in powerful cooling systems that help reduce pain. At Lazerjazz we remove vascular pathologies (rosacea, rosacea, hemangiomas and other tumors) using the BBL device from the American company Sciton.

BBL is FDA certified and is the only IPL machine that has 2 flash lights (reduces the risk of burns). In addition, it has built-in filters and acts on blood vessels more specifically and effectively.

On average, the course consists of 3-5 procedures with an interval of 3-4 weeks. Immediately after BBL, you can apply makeup because the device does not violate the integrity of the skin. But over the next day or two, swelling may occur on your face. (As a rule, the cheeks become swollen.) Therefore, phototherapy should not be performed immediately before an important event.

If you live in central Russia, the BBL course can be taken at any time of the year. If you are going to a country where the sun is active, it is better to do the last procedure one or two weeks before the trip.

Prescription for Marina: at least 4 BBL procedures and LED therapy.

Bela Kaloeva, 35 years old

Story : "Cuperosis appeared when I was 15-16 years old. By the age of 26, the picture became completely sad. I did a course... it seems, photo procedures? The capillaries on my cheeks disappeared, and for some reason my nose became even redder. The doctor said it was a difficult, unpredictable area, and in my case, “It just didn’t work.” I gave up on it, but since then the vessels on my nose have become even brighter, and something needs to be done about it«.

Dr. Yulianna Kulturbaeva: I suspect that rosacea appeared in adolescence due to hormonal imbalance. But the situation is atypical. Scar tissue has formed on the back of the nose. Bela doesn’t remember which device was used to remove the vessels, but I think it was a neodymium laser. If the parameters are incorrectly selected, it leaves similar scars.

It makes sense to use a neodymium laser to remove only large (up to 3 mm in diameter), deep-lying vessels. BBL is better suited for thin capillaries. Therefore, sometimes we combine two devices within one course: if the face has both a capillary network and a pair of prominent vessels.

For rosacea and rosacea, in home care it is important to use products that strengthen the walls of blood vessels. Almost every cosmeceutical brand has a line for skin prone to couperose and rosacea - with bisabolol, D-panthenol, vitamin C, arnica, horse chestnut, beech bud and aloe extracts.

It is not possible to buy a whole line - at least add a serum with a high concentration of vitamin C to your routine care and be sure to use a cream with SPF all year round. When on vacation, wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Purpose for Bela: at least 4 BBL sessions and LED therapy. It is possible that a Fractora RF procedure will be performed to remove scars.

Lena Korenkova, 28 years old

Story : "In the photographs you will not see global redness or a network of blood vessels. But I have always noticed: my classmates and fellow students have beige skin, and mine is pink. After washing, I’m generally crimson. And this is definitely not a reaction to cosmetics.

While I was struggling with inflammation and enlarged pores, only a lazy cosmetologist didn’t say that I had rosacea (and there weren’t any lazy ones). I know in advance the sequence of events when I lie down on the couch. Now the doctor will remove the makeup. The face will turn red and she will say: “Do you know that you have rosacea?” I remain silent and wait. Ten seconds later: “Are you aware...”

But I have only one translucent vessel - near the wing of the nose. And I can’t understand, is it time to do something? And if so, what?»

Dr. Yulianna Kulturbaeva: Lena has reactive skin that reacts to water temperature and touch. Mild acne and rosacea around the wings of the nose and on the cheeks. History of atopic dermatitis. She came to the clinic on time, because without prevention, rosacea will grow.

Usually people do not attach importance to slight redness and turn to a cosmetologist when blood vessels are already visible on the face. Or they find out about rosacea/rosacea when they come for a lift. At this point, the situation has been neglected due to inappropriate cosmetic procedures and home care. Before starting anti-age therapy, you need to take care of the blood vessels.

Acne disrupts the skin's protective barrier. Makes her sensitive. Using light filters, the BBL can be set to Forever Clear mode. Light of a certain wavelength disrupts the chain of destruction of propionibacterium acnes bacteria. That is, within one procedure, changing filters, we will work with two problems: acne and blood vessels. The vessels provide blood supply to the sebaceous glands. By influencing them, we also reduce the secretion of lard and its quality, its pH.

If, in addition to rosacea, you, like Lena, are bothered by acne, the basis of your home care should still be anti-redness products. You can add antibacterial drugs, retinoids, and anti-inflammatory serums to them. It is advisable that a cosmetologist help build this system.

During a course of photo procedures, it is not recommended to use acids because they increase skin sensitivity.

What else should you avoid? Any traumatic procedures: they contribute to the dilation of blood vessels and the growth of collaterals (thin capillary branches), which will eventually appear through the skin. In total, we cross out: laser resurfacing, mesoscooters, active scrubbing, hard peelings, intense massages and warming masks.

Prescription for Lena: 3 BBL procedures.

In a couple of months we will tell you about the results of the treatment. But if you suffer from similar symptoms and do not know whether it is rosacea or rosacea, and also do not know what to do about it, we advise you not to hesitate: if you start a course of photo treatments for rosacea in the near future, you will have time to finish it before the onset of summer .

Prices for BBL procedures for vessel removal:

1. whole face – 15,000 rub.,
2. cheeks – 8000 rub.,
3. nose – 5000 rub.

I recently talked about the principles I developed myself for caring for problem skin (here). As I already said, my skin is prone not only to acne, but also to rosacea, and it’s time to talk about it.

Cuperosis

Unfortunately, many people know what rosacea is. This disease affects a fairly large group of people who, as a rule, have fair skin.

For those who don't know:

rosacea is a disease associated with increased permeability and fragility of capillary walls, which is accompanied by the appearance on the skin (including the face) of the so-called. spider veins, vascular network

More often rosacea causes purely cosmetic damage to a person, however, if left untreated, it becomes a real problem that has many negative consequences:

1. increased sensitivity of facial skin;
2. dry skin;
3. disruption of the supply of nutrients to the skin, which leads to its premature aging;
4. development of vascular rosacea.

All this, of course, is not a reason to panic.

Not long ago, my rosacea on my face began to worsen, and I moved from the waiting phase to the active action phase.

So, to prevent the development and treatment already existing rosacea, I developed the following scheme:

1) Visit to a cosmetologist;

Yes, cosmetologists deal with this disease, and the best thing I could come up with was to consult a cosmetologist with a dermatological education.

At the appointment, I asked him a lot of questions, from which I learned indications and contraindications for people whose skin is susceptible to rosacea.

Actually everything treatment rosacea comes down to leading a lifestyle that prevents its occurrence and eliminating existing rosacea.

Having critically processed the information received, I decided not to bury myself prematurely, leave sports in my life and occasionally allow myself spicy food and hot drinks.

I tested all the other points on myself and found them to be effective.

2) Start studying the compositions and ingredients of cosmetics;

I read a lot about rosacea and found out that there are some natural and synthetic ingredients in cosmetics that strengthen the walls of blood vessels, improve blood circulation, or otherwise have a beneficial effect on skin with rosacea.

Most effective I will list (in fact there are quite a lot of such ingredients):

1. Retinaldehyde (vitamin A in aldehyde form);
2. Wine Extract (wine extract);
3. Vitamin A palmitate/ Retinyl Palmitate (another form of vitamin A);
4. Alpha Bisabolol (alpha bisabolol);
5. Rutin (rutin);
6. Vitamin C in different forms;
7. Hypericum Perforatum Extract (St. John's wort extract);
8. Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water (cornflower hydrosol);
9. Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Water (ginkgo biloba hydrolate);
10. Hematite Extract (hematite extract);
11. Esculoside (esculin);
12. German Chamomile (German chamomile extract);
13. Betula alba (white birch extract);
14. Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed Oil (blueberry seed oil);
15. Aniba rosaeodora (rosewood essential oil);
16. Coriandrum Sativum Fruit/leaf Extract (coriander extract).

Through quite a lot of research, I compiled a list of facial products containing the components I needed.

For example, not so long ago I wrote about Goodal sheet masks with blueberries (link to post):

Goodal Blueberry Infused Water Mild Sheet Mask

They contain two ingredients that strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and generally have a good composition.

Belweder Creme lissante contour des yeux au gluconolactone

In the future, I plan to cover the products on my list as soon as I form my opinion about them.

3) Do not sunbathe and use Sunscreen all year round;

I noticed that the sun has the most negative effect on the condition of my rosacea.

The fact is that prolonged exposure to the sun greatly increases the temperature of the skin, literally frying it. This leads to a strong dilation of blood vessels, which for skin with rosacea is fraught with their destruction and subsequent hemorrhage.

For example, this summer I accidentally found myself in a situation where I had to spend about an hour in direct sunlight at noon. This aggravated the existing vessels, but new small ones also appeared!

Despite the fact that I was wearing 50 SPF protection, the negative factor is very strong, so it’s still better to take cover from the sun.

4) Avoid any cosmetic products containing alcohol;

Alcohol-containing products instantly affect the skin with rosacea: blood suddenly rushes to it, it becomes hot, all this destroys the already fragile blood vessels.

Theoretically, you can use alcohol-containing cosmetics if, for example, alcohol is contained at the end of the composition or in the rinse-off product.

The same goes for disinfection skin before any procedure: it is better to use alcohol-free products, for example, hydrogen peroxide.

5) Exercise moderately;

I noticed that if you train without burden, sports even strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and over time the face turns less red during the day.

But as soon as you add serious weights to your training, the situation gets much worse.

In addition, if the workout is very active, the face becomes red and hot, so I specially take it with me in advance. chilled mist, it helps reduce skin temperature.

6) Remove existing vessels.

This is a very important point in treatment. If you do not remove an already burst vessel, this can lead to the growth of the lesion, the appearance of nodes on the skin, and subsequently scars if it is removed too late. Unfortunately, at the moment there is only a treatment method that inhibits the growth of rosacea and removes what has already developed.

Eat several ways removing them:

1. photoslerosis;
2. electrocoagulation;
3. laser removal;
4. cryotherapy.

! A cosmetologist will select the most effective method of removal for you.

I've had a small spider vein on my nose since I was about 10 years old. By the age of 22, it began to grow, and at 28, I already decided to remove it immediately. Together with her, the vessels on the wings of my nose were removed.

I did this in the clinic using laser coagulation, this is perhaps the most common method.

The essence of the procedure is that by exposure to a laser beam of the required length, the vessel sticks together due to the coagulation of irradiated hemoglobin, and subsequently resolves.

I did 2 procedures on the Cynosure Elite+ device in the clinic, and I still have a few more to do to finally remove the vessels that did not go away right away.

There are painful sensations during the process, as if you are being stabbed quite hard with a thick needle, but they quickly pass.

Nevertheless, the result is already very good.

Before that, I removed my star 2 times with another device in a beauty salon, and she returned almost immediately, although she became a little smaller.

For clarity I offer several photos from different years.

Before all procedures: a bright red lump is visible After 2 procedures in a beauty salon: the asterisk has decreased, but only slightly After 2 procedures in the clinic and appropriate care

Now the camera is almost unable to capture the place where the star used to be. This is great progress; previously, in its place there was a bright red spot that was not covered up by any layers of concealer, and moreover, it was raised like a tubercle. Now only a barely visible pigment spot remains, the tubercle has smoothed out.

The rest of my business comes down to proven recommendations cosmetologist:

1. I wash my face only with warm water;
2. I don’t drink or eat too hot;
3. I perform only safe cosmetic procedures

To sum up both parts, I can only say one thing: no matter how difficult your situation is, everything is in your hands.

You can start taking steps to improve your life right now!

Thanks to everyone who mastered it, I wish you beauty and perfection :).
