Couperose vs. rosacea: causes, differences and treatments at C1 Kosmetik Munich

8.8.2024

Two common skin problems that affect many people are couperose and rosacea. However, with proper and ongoing treatment, symptoms can be alleviated and skin health can be improved.

In this article, we explain what couperose and rosacea are, what the differences are and how they can be treated effectively.  

What is couperosis?

Couperose is a chronic skin condition characterized by fine, red veins on the face, especially on the cheeks and nose. These veins are caused by dilation of the blood vessels and are often an early sign of rosacea. The exact cause of couperose is not fully understood, but genetic predisposition, UV radiation and extreme temperatures play a role.

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a progressive, inflammatory skin disease that is also accompanied by redness and dilated blood vessels, but can also lead to pustules and papules. Rosacea can be divided into different types, which differ in terms of severity and symptoms:  

  1. Erythematous-teleangiectatic rosacea: redness and visible blood vessels.
  1. Papulopustular rosacea: redness with pimple-like pustules.
  1. Phymatous rosacea: Thickening of the skin, often on the nose.
  1. Ocular rosacea: The eyes are affected, which can lead to redness and irritation.

Differences between couperose and rosacea

The main difference between couperose and rosacea lies in the severity and additional symptoms. Couperose is essentially limited to dilated blood vessels and redness, while rosacea is more advanced and includes inflammation, pustules and possibly skin thickening. Rosacea is therefore a more complex and severe form that requires more attention and more intensive treatment.

Treatment of couperose and rosacea

The treatment of both skin conditions aims to alleviate the symptoms and prevent progression. Early diagnosis and treatment are therefore very important.  

Gentle skin care: The use of mild, low-irritant cleansing and care products is essential. Aggressive products should be avoided so as not to irritate the skin further.  

Popular daily routine for couperose & rosacea

The care and treatment of skin conditions such as couperose and rosacea requires a carefully coordinated daily routine. Consistent and targeted care is therefore essential to alleviate the symptoms and strengthen the skin barrier. We would like to show you what an ideal daily skincare routine for couperose and rosacea could look like.  

Step 1: BABOR Soothing Cream Cleanser  

A mild cleansing cream for sensitive skin. The mild texture of the Soothing Cream Cleanser is pleasant to spread on the skin, emulsifies easily with the addition of water and protects particularly sensitive skin during cleansing with a moisturizing combination of active ingredients.

‍Step2: BABOR Rebalancing Toner

A soothing and moisturizing toner for a balanced complexion. The fast-absorbing formula also contains no colorants or fragrances, making it ideal for integrating into your existing skincare routine as a performance boost for dry and sensitive skin in need of regeneration.

‍Step3: BABOR Anti Redness Serum

A cosmetic specialist for skin prone to redness and couperose for a more balanced complexion. The delicate and light texture of the serum melts pleasantly onto the skin and leaves it feeling comprehensively nourished. Specially developed to nourish sensitive skin, reduce redness and even out skin tone. The skin barrier is strengthened and skin sensitivities are alleviated.

‍Step4: BABOR Anti Redness Cream

A cosmetic specialist for skin prone to redness and couperose for a strengthened complexion. Tailored to the most sensitive skin types, the light, nourishing and non-weighing formula does not contain any additional colorants or fragrances. It reduces skin sensitivity, ensures more balanced skin and improves the appearance of couperose.  

‍Step5: BABOR Enzyme Micro Peel Balm - 2x week

A gentle enzyme peeling for a clarified, radiant and even complexion. It exfoliates gently but effectively at the same time and supports skin regeneration. The revitalizing balm effectively removes excess flakes on the skin's surface, leaving the skin looking fresher and the skin tone more even.  

‍Step6: BABOR Cryo Plumping Mask - 1x week  

A cooling organic cellulose mask with an immediate moisture boost for a noticeably fresher and smoother complexion. The refreshing sheet mask clings to the skin and facial contours and provides intensive and long-lasting moisture for up to 24 hours in just 15 minutes. Fine lines and dryness wrinkles are reduced and the skin gains immediate firmness and freshness. The result is smoother, plumper skin and a youthfully radiant complexion.  

We recommend the following treatments

At C1 Kosmetik Munich, we offer treatments that are particularly suitable for couperose and rosacea, as the care is tailored to the individual needs of our customers. Our expertise and modern techniques provide effective relief.

SOS EFFECT:

DOCTOR BABOR PRO FACIAL:

This intensive treatment can be individually adapted to very sensitive and problematic skin. It has a strong calming effect and helps to reduce redness and improve the skin's appearance in the long term. The skin is intensively moisturized and optimally supplied with nutrients. The treatment also promotes cell renewal and supports the skin's natural barrier, which is particularly important for sensitive skin types. The result is visibly refreshed and balanced skin with a radiant complexion and a pleasant skin feel.

PLUMPING & ANTI AGING EFFECT:

COOLIFTING TREATMENT:

This treatment provides intensive moisturization and specifically strengthens the skin barrier. Compressed carbon gas is blasted onto the skin at a very low temperature using the CooLifting Gun. The pressure of the active ingredient storm combined with a cold stimulus enables intensive treatment of the connective tissue. The treatment is very soothing for the skin and counteracts the first signs of ageing.

We also recommend gentle enzymatic exfoliation. This is because gentle exfoliation removes the uppermost skin cells, which significantly improves the absorption of skin care products. Skin renewal also combats pigmentation disorders and refines the appearance of pores.

Effective measure:

‍Withthe right care and treatment, couperose and rosacea can be well controlled. A combination of cosmetic treatments and a special skin care routine can significantly reduce the symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin. We would be happy to advise you on site in one of our studios.
