Couperose appears as small, visible red blood vessels on facial skin.
With over a decade treating skin conditions, I recognize couperose as a benign yet cosmetically challenging issue primarily affecting women over 30. Epidermal blood vessels weaken and dilate, creating a persistent red glow. Key causes include genetics, excessive UV exposure, fair skin, temperature swings, alcohol use, and prolonged corticosteroid cream application. Often linked to rosacea—though distinct—they can coexist.
No definitive cure exists yet, but proven strategies reduce couperose visibility and maintain control. Discover practical steps here.
