all about
couperose
Couperose is a harmless but often frustrating skin condition, recognisable by broken or dilated blood vessels in the face, usually on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Those fine red or purple veins leave the skin looking constantly flushed.
Although couperose is common in people with fair skin and in women over 30, anyone can develop it. The good news? There are effective treatments to reduce couperose and give you a calmer, more even complexion.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is couperose?
Couperose is a form of chronic skin redness caused by the permanent dilation of small, superficial blood vessels (capillaries). These veins become visible because the vessel wall has weakened. The condition is closely related to rosacea and can be one of its first signs.
causes and risk factors
- hereditary predisposition
- sunlight
- temperature fluctuations (cold, heat)
- alcohol consumption
- hormonal changes
- use of corticosteroids
symptoms
- red veins (telangiectasias) in the face
- diffuse redness on the cheeks, nose and chin
- a burning or warm feeling in the skin
- sensitive or reactive skin

treatment methods at uma clinic
ipl
A vascular laser selectively heats the blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. The heat causes the vessel to coagulate, after which your body gradually breaks it down. A highly effective way to tackle red veins and diffuse redness.
peels
For sensitive skin, or as a complement to laser treatments, gentle peels can strengthen the skin, calm inflammation and reduce redness. We work with peels based on salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid, among others.
skincare
The right skincare enhances the effect of your treatment. UMA Clinic works with products from brands including SkinCeuticals. Think serums packed with antioxidants and mineral sun protection to support your skin barrier and help prevent new blood vessels.
results you can expect
After one or more sessions, you’ll see a clear reduction in visible blood vessels and redness. Your skin looks calmer, more even and less irritated. Regular maintenance and good skincare help prevent new blood vessels from appearing.
before and aftercare
After a laser treatment, your skin may be temporarily red or slightly swollen. This usually fades within a few hours to days. Avoid sunlight, heat and harsh products in the first days after treatment. And sun protection? Essential.
frequently asked questions (faq)
Couperose is often part of rosacea, but it can also occur on its own. With rosacea, inflammation and bumps are more common as well.
Unfortunately not. Couperose usually doesn’t disappear by itself, so treatment is needed to remove the blood vessels.
It feels like short, warm pinpricks, and most people find it easy to tolerate. We also use cooling to keep you comfortable.
On average 1 to 3 sessions, depending on the severity and location of the couperose.
The price depends on the treatment area and the number of sessions. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan with a clear overview of the costs.
