An important part of caring for skin prone to developing rosacea is its nutrition and hydration. However, you should choose creams after carefully studying their composition.
How to remove capillary mesh on the face with maximum effect
Firstly , any doctor will tell you that one procedure will not be enough. And the point is not at all that the “stars” will not disappear the first time. You will see positive results after the first session. Depending on the intensity of rosacea, skin sensitivity, and individual characteristics of the body, you may be prescribed not one manipulation, but several. Even when you seem to have already gotten rid of the line of blood vessels appearing on your face, you will be advised to repeat the sessions after some time to consolidate the effect. The duration of the procedure is only a few minutes; you can first do a gentle peeling to remove excess epidermal cells and the fatty layer. A repeat session will be scheduled for you no earlier than in 3-4 months.
How to treat
In the early stages, you can get rid of rosacea using special creams and ointments that help strengthen the walls of blood vessels and increase their level of elasticity. In addition, properly selected products will help moisturize the skin, normalize water balance and protect against the aggressive effects of external factors.
Dermatologist Natalia Ivanova explains in the video the main types of treatment for spider veins:
If the symptoms of rosacea are pronounced, it is necessary to consult with a specialist who will select a comprehensive treatment on an individual basis.
How to choose a product
To choose a good, effective product, you need to pay attention to its composition and the reputation of the manufacturer, and not to promising advertising created by a team of marketing specialists.
Composition of funds
When looking at the packaging of the product you choose, carefully study its composition. A good medicine for rosacea should contain:
- angioprotectors – natural, plant extracts (grapes, chestnuts, walnuts);
- vitamins - A, C, E, K (corn, rice bran, tea tree, shea and olive oils, black currant);
- additional components – glycerin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin;
- natural extracts for cleansing the skin (blueberry, lemon, mimosa, horsetail).
All products that contain alcohol, mint oil, lemon balm, cloves, menthol, eucalyptus are strictly not recommended for the treatment of rosacea, because they greatly dry out the skin and can negatively affect the course of the disease.
