Cuperosis - symptoms and treatment of the disease
Cuperosis is a cosmetic skin problem when red spider veins appear on the wings of the nose or cheeks. It is not classified as a disease, but rather as a consequence of some pathology in the body or exposure to external factors. Tiny capillaries are located close to the surface of the skin. Therefore, any negative action can lead to their inflammation. With rosacea on the face, the walls of blood vessels dilate and are especially visible on light skin. The capillary network can progress and occupy an increasingly larger area if the causes of its occurrence are not identified and removed.
Couperosis can appear at any age. It is sometimes diagnosed even in infants. The causes may be external factors - cold or hot air, cosmetic procedures, overheating in the sun. Mesh on the skin can be caused by hormonal changes in the body, pregnancy, taking medications, alcohol, hot food, stress and much more.
Laser therapy methods allow you to quickly get rid of pathology, and treatment in the initial stage of rosacea is only needed once. But the cost of such a cosmetic procedure is not affordable for everyone. There are more affordable means to combat rosacea - pharmaceutical ointments and gels.

Can it be used in cosmetology for facial skin?
The composition of Troxevasin speaks for itself: the antiseptic prevents the growth of bacteria, the antidote neutralizes toxic toxins, vitamin C slows down oxidation, and therefore the aging process. The main effect of the gel is that it affects blood vessels, eliminates the appearance of red spots, and relieves swelling. All these properties make it possible to use it as a cosmetic product.
Treatment of rosacea with Troxevasin
When using Troxevasin, it is necessary to remember that treating rosacea is a long process and requires a long course. Treatment methods are similar to how varicose veins are treated. To combat rosacea, all forms of medication are used - cream, gel and capsules for oral administration. Treatment of the disease is carried out at home and does not require much effort. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to use two forms of the drug at once: gel with capsules or cream with capsules orally. Often, instead of tablet Troxevasin, the vitamin complex Ascorutin is taken, which combines ascorbic acid and rutin.
Troxevasin gel for the face is applied daily twice a day to slightly damp skin, so it is better absorbed. It is necessary to rub the composition with light massage movements into the places where the vascular network and nodules accumulate. The duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician; it usually lasts from 14 to 30 days. An effective way to use Troxevasin gel + capsules brings noticeable results within 3-4 days. Patients note a significant narrowing of blood vessels in the affected areas, which can already be disguised with cosmetics.
The capsule form of the medicine is taken when the stars affect a large surface of the cheeks and nose. The dosage regimen is as follows: one 300 mg capsule three times a day for two weeks, then 2 capsules a day for another two to three weeks. A month is enough to get a lasting therapeutic effect.
Does this drug help? The effectiveness of treatment is diagnosed after two weeks. When a positive visual result is achieved, care continues; if a healing effect is not detected, then other drugs are prescribed.
Contraindications for use
Troxevasin for rosacea is a medicinal drug, therefore, despite its effectiveness, it also has contraindications for use. Before starting treatment for rosacea, you should carefully study the instructions. The main prohibitions are directly related to the skin. Do not apply to the face if there is damage to the skin or wounds. The components of the gel dosage form can cause an allergic rash and burning sensation.
People with kidney disease and gastrointestinal diseases should take capsules with extreme caution. When the first signs of discomfort appear, you should stop taking it and consult a doctor to prescribe another drug.
The active components of the external product do not enter the general bloodstream, so Troxevasin gel can be used during pregnancy without threatening the health of the unborn child. Cream from stars on the face does not have a harmful effect during breastfeeding. During the course of taking the drug, you are allowed to drive a vehicle.
Troxevasin for rosacea on the face - reviews and photos
Most reviews from the use of the drug are positive, as it has a pronounced therapeutic effect. Therapy for rosacea with Troxevasin is effective, with virtually no side effects.
Maria. “I smeared my face with troxevasin and my rosacea began to go away on the 4th day. I was shocked, honestly, I didn’t expect such a good result, because curing this problem is quite difficult, my skin was no longer so pink, it looked fresh, it began to respond better to temperature changes, it became denser and smoother. The recommended course of treatment is 4 weeks, during this time my rosacea became almost invisible, I am very pleased with the results! Troxevasin tablets are also recommended, but take a cheap analogue - ascorutin tablets, which cost 60 rubles, their composition with troxevasin is the same. Together with taking the capsules, the gel works quickly.”
Evgenia. “Troxevasin helped me a lot! I used the ointment only once a day at night. I am a nursing mother, so I didn’t take pills. The tube had been collecting dust since pregnancy, so I didn’t even have to buy it. I smeared it on my face at night for a month and saw the result that the ointment was working. Despite the summer and the heat, my skin no longer looked purple, it turned pink. After a month I was happy with the result, but following the Internet I took a break for a month. There was no relapse. I repeated the course for a month and only with ointment, at night. And in the second month, my skin became what I didn’t even remember, NORMAL. It’s a pity, of course, that I didn’t know about this miracle remedy earlier. There were so many complexes on this basis. Of course, if you look closely, not everything is so perfect and there are noticeable asterisks for me, but compared to what it was, this is just excellent.”
Troxevasin - analogues and price
Troxerutin is not a prescription drug. It is freely available in any pharmacy chain. The cost of the product varies from 100 to 700 rubles, depending on the manufacturer and the markup of the pharmacy itself.
The quality of the gel and capsules made in Belarus, Czech, Bulgarian and Russian is absolutely the same. An analogue of the gel is considered to be those medications that contain Troxerutin. It is advisable to consult a doctor before use.
Modern pharmacology has millions of different trade names of drugs. Some of them are prescription drugs and can be sold only with a doctor's prescription. Others can be purchased independently, without special documents.
Many modern women suffer from the same problem – bags under the eyes. This symptom may appear only periodically or be a constant companion. To get rid of such a defect, representatives of the fairer sex sometimes apply Troxevasin under their eyes. Is it correct? You can learn about the features of using such a medicine from the presented article.
"Troxevasin" (ointment): price and composition
The drug "Troxevasin" is produced in the form of capsules and gel. The first form of the drug is intended for internal use. The gel is applied to the surface of the skin. One gram of gel contains 20 milligrams of the active substance - troxerutin. There are also additional components: carbomer, purified water, benzalkonium chloride, triethanolamine and some others.
The medicine is produced in metal tubes, each of which has the inscription: “Troxevasin”. The ointment (the price of one 40 gram package is about 200 rubles) must be used in accordance with the instructions. Instructions for using the drug are attached to each unit of product.
Indications for use
The annotation does not indicate that the drug “Troxevasin” is used for bags under the eyes. Reviews from experts say that the medication is often prescribed for varicose veins of the lower extremities and hemorrhoids. However, the instructions also describe the following indications for use:
- swelling and pain in the legs, bruises and capillary networks;
- thrombophlebitis or varicose dermatitis;
- periphlebitis, varicose veins;
- hematomas and mechanical injuries.
Troxevasin can be used for bruises of various origins.
Limitations that you must pay attention to
You already know a lot about the drug “Troxevasin”. What it helps with is described above. However, this is not enough to start therapy. Be sure to read the instructions in full.
It is contraindicated to apply the gel to open wound surfaces and festering areas of skin. The product is also not used if you are hypersensitive to its components or under the age of 18.
Method of using the drug "Troxevasin" for bruises
The medicine is applied to the skin in places where there is damage. In this case, it is necessary to avoid getting the gel into open wounds and mucous membranes. The medication is applied in a thin layer, after which it is rubbed in gently and without additional force. Frequency of application – 2 times a day.
The drug "Troxevasin" for swelling of the legs and for the treatment of varicose veins can be used simultaneously with anti-varicose stockings. This therapy will show good results when used for a long time. The drug "Troxevasin" for topical use is often combined with the use of capsules of the same name.
"Troxevasin" for bags under the eyes: reviews
The manufacturer does not mention this method of use in the instructions. Therefore, doctors almost never advise using the medication in this way. However, if you carefully study the annotation, you will find out that the medicine is used to treat bruises, contusions and swelling. That is why many cosmetologists use this medicine to tidy up their face.
Consumers say that after using the gel, the effect becomes noticeable within a few hours. The medicine is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy residue. This allows you to immediately start applying makeup. The drug improves blood flow and draws out excess fluid from swollen skin. However, many women say that the drug is effective only for swelling and dark circles that appear due to some reason: lack of sleep, fatigue, drinking alcohol or drinking large amounts of liquid before bed. If the defects become permanent, then the medication may simply not help.
Doctors are skeptical about this use of the drug. However, they admit that the drug may indeed be effective and useful in the situations described.
Method of applying the drug under the eyes
Troxevasin gel (reviews recommend using it for bags under the eyes) is an effective remedy. However, the result will be achieved only if the drug is used correctly. Before application, you must thoroughly clean the surface to be treated of cosmetics. Also be sure to wash your hands. After this, squeeze out a small pea of the drug and apply under the eyes.
All your movements must be very careful. Do not pull or stretch the skin. Otherwise, you can only make things worse. Use your fingertips to distribute the medicine (patching movements). After this, wait until it is completely absorbed. For further manipulations with the face, the gel does not need to be washed off. Makeup is applied over the drug. There is no need to use medication during the day. However, before going to bed at night (after washing), the procedure can be repeated. After using the medicine, you should wash your hands very well with soap. Otherwise, particles of the drug may appear on your fingers, which will subsequently fall on the mucous membranes of the eyes upon contact.
Additional Tips
In order to correctly use Troxevasin for bags under the eyes, reviews from specialists and consumers must be carefully studied. Experienced cosmetologists advise testing before the first application of the drug. To do this, a small amount of the substance is applied to the inside of the elbow. If no reaction is detected within two hours, then you can safely use the medication to relieve swelling.
Cosmetologists also use the drug “Troxevasin” to remove bruises and rosacea on the face. However, to see positive results, you must use the medicine for a long time and regularly. If the formation of a hematoma under the eye occurs as a result of mechanical damage, then you can make compresses from Troxevasin every two hours and hold them for several minutes. To do this, take sterile cotton strips for compresses under the eyes. You can buy these in every cosmetic department. Apply gel to the strips and place them on the damaged area. Keep the medication for several minutes, then remove the cotton wool and spread the remaining medication. If you perform such actions regularly, then within a day you will notice excellent results.
Be very careful when applying the gel. Contact of the drug with the eyes and mucous membrane of the eyelids is unacceptable. This can cause severe burning, redness and itching. In some cases, the capillaries of the eyeball burst. In a situation of such contact, immediately rinse your eye with water and contact a specialist. If necessary, the doctor will recommend symptomatic restorative therapy.
Let's summarize
You learned from the article what indications the Troxevasin gel has. You also now know that the medication is also available in capsule form. However, their use will not be as effective in treating dark circles under the eyes and swelling. The gel for topical application, according to reviews from consumers and cosmetologists, has a quick and long-lasting effect.
The drug "Troxevasin" can be purchased without a prescription. It is inexpensive compared to its analogues. It is better to store the medicine in a cool, dark place and use it as needed. After opening the bottle, the medicine should be used for one month, after which the remaining medicine should be disposed of. All the best to you and be beautiful in every possible way!

I have an allergy and my face is swollen. I had to refuse. Couperosis became less affected by ascorutin and vit C.
There is a cream with heparin, Novosvit, for bags and circles under the eyes, it is better for the whole face. Well, German essential oils - rosemary, cypress, etc. troxevasin xs can it be used on the face
No, it won't help. Because it does not have a deep effect on the veins, it does not penetrate deeply into the skin. Author, if you don’t have a strong degree, then the lazar shower will help you. If it’s strong, then there’s a flash in the beauty salon.

Actually, on the tube itself it says: varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency with symptoms such as swelling and pain in the legs, a feeling of heaviness, swollen legs, tired legs, spider veins and spider veins - this is rosacea, convulsions, paresthesia, thrombophlebitis and etc
I read reviews on another site that when combined with ascorutin, 2% troxevasin gel helps. But everything needs to be used for at least 3 - 4 weeks.
I want to try it myself.

Troxevasin helped me a lot! I used only ointment and only once a day, at night. I’m a nursing mother, so I didn’t take pills, and the doctor prescribed ointment for me during pregnancy for varicose veins, so despite the breastfeeding, I decided to try it for rosacea on my face. I didn’t expect a miracle, because all my life I had been unsuccessfully fighting for beautiful skin, I believed advertising and expensive products and was disappointed. In addition to rosacea, I suffered from acne and post-acne and oily skin. Not a day went by without foundation. Many people are familiar with this. Not a single guy I've dated has ever seen me without foundation. Except for my husband. The acne somehow went away gradually on its own (it’s time to do it at 32 years old), but rosacea and post-acne lesions remained. While on maternity leave, the need to wear makeup every day was no longer necessary, but I was scared to look in the mirror. and so, I accidentally came across a review on the net about Troxevasin as a remedy for post-acne and tried it. The tube had been collecting dust since pregnancy, so I didn’t even have to buy it. I smeared it on my face for a month and saw the result and was afraid to believe that the ointment was working. Despite the summer and the heat, my skin no longer looked purple, it turned pink. After a month I was happy with the result, but following the Internet I took a break for a month. There was no relapse. I repeated the course for a month and only with ointment, at night. And in the second month, my skin became what I didn’t even remember, NORMAL. I'm not embarrassed to go out without foundation. Now my cheeks don’t “burn” from frost, wind, etc. The post-acne scars are already barely noticeable, and the ointment also took care of that. I can imagine what the result would be even with pills. Today, for the first time in my life, while sitting in line, I heard a compliment that I had a well-groomed face. I didn’t have any foundation, just eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. That's why I'm writing this review. Maybe it will help someone. It’s a pity, of course, that I didn’t know about this miracle remedy earlier. There were so many complexes on this basis. Of course, if you look closely, not everything is so perfect and there are noticeable stars for me, but compared to what it was, this is garbage.
