Couperose treatment in Zürich

Do you suffer from red spots on your skin and dilated veins in the cheek area? Then it’s possible that you have couperose. Typical symptoms include fine visible vessels that are easily recognizable to the naked eye. Besides the cheeks, the nose area or chin are often also affected.

The skin is „over-circulated“. The face tingles, it becomes quickly irritated and reddened. If couperose progresses, it can develop into rosacea – with inflammatory pustules and thickened sebaceous glands. It’s best to treat couperose as early as possible; the sooner it’s treated, the better the chances of success. There are very effective dermatological therapies and modern aesthetic treatments available today. So, you don’t have to put up with the bothersome symptoms!

FAQ

What is Couperose?

Couperose is a skin condition primarily characterized by fine, red to bluish, thread-like vessels on the face, neck, or sternum. However, couperose mainly occurs on the face. The causes are diverse and individual, often involving a genetic weakness in the blood vessel walls and connective tissue.

Certain foods, environmental factors, intense heat or cold, and sun exposure can exacerbate couperose. Additionally, caffeine, nicotine, or alcoholic beverages can also influence the circulation of superficial skin vessels.

If you suffer from couperose, you can try to identify your personal triggers, for example, by keeping a skin diary. Here, you should regularly note when and where redness or other symptoms occur, which cosmetics you use, and what you have eaten. Don't forget stress and other strains, as these can also trigger unwanted skin redness. Over time, you will most likely recognize a pattern.

How Does OxyGeneo Treatment for Couperose Work?

OxyGeneo is a modern, cosmetic anti-aging treatment suitable for sensitive and reddened skin like couperose. The reason: individual treatment steps and active ingredient mixtures can be tailored to the skin's appearance.

The focus of couperose treatment is on calming the skin and reducing dilated veins. A wonderful side effect: the skin texture is smoothed, small wrinkles and lines are reduced, and pores are refined. Your skin appears overall rejuvenated and more beautiful.

OxyGeneo consists of 5 coordinated steps:

Radiofrequency,
Microdermabrasion, for intensive peeling and active ingredient preparation,
Oxygen activation of the deeper skin layers,
Introducing active ingredients suitable for couperose,
Cosmetic ultrasound to deeply infuse these into the skin.

Note: Not all these steps are useful for every couperose case. Therefore, discuss all options with our dermatologists before your treatment. Additional applications can be combined if necessary—cosmetically, aesthetically, and dermatologically.

How Can Biostimulation Help with Couperose?

Biostimulation is also one of our focuses for treating couperose in Zurich. Here, we stimulate regeneration, i.e., skin renewal.

Typical applications include microneedling, laser, PRP (plasma), and specific fillers that are injected directly under the skin. All these techniques stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin in different ways. The skin becomes smoother, retains more moisture, and is significantly less dry. At the same time, the skin is strengthened from the inside, reducing the telangiectasias typical for couperose.

Can Couperose Be Treated with Laser?

Lasers play a special role in modern aesthetic therapy. At the Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich, we treat couperose with the latest devices currently available on the market. This allows for effective and simultaneously skin-friendly treatments.

With the CO2 laser, our dermatologists lightly remove the top layer of skin, but only in specific skin areas. This is a significant advantage in treating the usually sensitive couperose. Generally, the skin appears stronger and "renewed" after just a few treatments. The laser light affects the red blood pigment (hemoglobin). It coagulates, causing the inner walls of the vessels to shrink, reducing redness.

Can Medications and Certain Ointments Help?

For pronounced couperose, anti-inflammatory creams or ointments can be helpful, at least for a certain period. Tablets are rarely used; most symptoms can be well managed with the mentioned therapies. Additionally, cosmetic products like masks, moisturizing fluids, or gels with calming active ingredients like D-panthenol or hyaluronic acid may make sense. However, you should discuss this first with our specialists.
