- pathology of the digestive tract;
- unbalanced nutrition;
- weakened immunity.

Therefore, with a small number of telangiectasias, it is possible to treat couperose on the face with Troxevasin. The agent is applied to the affected areas 2 times a day, it is preferable to rub the gel with the active ingredient concentration of 2% for 3-5 weeks.
Sometimes it is recommended that the systemic administration of troxevasin in capsules. The physician selects the concentration and duration of the course of therapy individually. As a rule, treatment begins with taking 1 capsule (300 mg) for 14-15 days, 3 times a day. Depending on the results obtained, the dosage may be increased or decreased.

Laser treatment of couperose on the face
The only way to completely get rid of telangiectasias on the cheeks, chin, and wings of the nose is the coagulation of damaged vessels by a laser.
In the course of the procedure, hemoglobin is immediately clotted in the blood, which fills the stretched capillaries. Because of this, their walls are glued together and eventually dissolve.
With a large number of vascular "mesh" it will take 2-6 sessions of laser therapy.
