Rosacea
Red blood vessels on the face, especially on the cheeks and nose, can be unsightly. As we age, the number of blood vessels increases.
The couperose treatment works as follows: With a laser handpiece, green light or light of 540-950 nm is absorbed by the red blood cells. This causes the blood vessels to close off and disappear.

The rosacea treatment takes about 20 minutes. Generally, 2 to 3 treatments are needed.

After the treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, especially around the eyes. This usually only lasts a few hours but can last up to 2 days after the treatment. You may wear make-up.
