• Special creams and medications: relieve inflammation, soothe the skin, and reduce redness.
• Laser therapy: permanently removes dilated blood vessels and ensures a more even skin appearance.
• Individual skincare consultation: specially tailored skincare products that prevent skin irritations and strengthen the skin barrier.

• People with persistent facial redness
• Affected individuals with visible veins (couperose)
• People who suffer from inflammatory pustules, skin irritations and flare-ups

Many affected individuals are sensitive to:

• Heat (sun, sauna, hot drinks)
• spicy food
• alcohol
• stress
• unsuitable cosmetic products
• Cold / Wind
• physical exertion

The goal of the therapy is to identify and avoid these triggers.

Clinical examination

The characteristic skin appearance is usually sufficient for diagnosis.

Dermoscopy

Assessment of vascular structures and inflammation patterns.

Medical history

Assessment of trigger factors, relapse frequency and skin sensitivity.

An effective treatment usually consists of several components:

1. Topical therapies (creams/gels)

• reduce redness
• inhibit inflammation
• strengthen the skin barrier

Key active ingredients: Metronidazole, azelaic acid, ivermectin.

2. Systemic Therapies

For more severe inflammation → low-dose antibiotics or, rarely, isotretinoin.

3. Laser therapy (central treatment for couperose)

• permanently removes dilated blood vessels
• reduces redness
• It sustainably improves the skin's appearance

Particularly effective: vascular lasers & IPL

4. Individual skincare consultation

Very important for rosacea:

• mild products
• no alcohol in skincare
• no irritating scrubs
• consistent sun protection

Laser therapy is one of the most effective methods for treating:

• Couperose
• persistent redness
• dilated blood vessels

Effect:
Laser light is absorbed by red blood vessels → vessels close → redness disappears.

Advantages:

• Visible improvement after just a few sessions
• lasting result
• smoother, more even skin texture

INFOBOX:
Short-term redness may occur after treatment; this is normal and will subside quickly.

No.
