Redness, visible small veins and a burning sensation of heat in the face – for many people with rosacea these are everyday companions. The chronic skin condition not only burdens the complexion but also self-confidence, and requires gentle, targeted treatment that avoids irritation and strengthens vascular health.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition of the facial skin that usually progresses in flare-ups. It mainly affects the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Typical symptoms are persistent redness, dilated fine blood vessels, burning or a sensation of heat. In some cases, inflammatory nodules or pustules also appear. Another characteristic is a pronounced hypersensitivity of the skin to external stimuli. Temperature fluctuations, spicy foods, alcohol or unsuitable cosmetic products can intensify rosacea flare-ups. The condition cannot be cured, but it can be well controlled with suitable, low-irritation therapy concepts, especially with early treatment.
Rosacea and couperose are often used interchangeably in everyday life, but medically they are different findings.
Couperose describes the isolated appearance of dilated, fine blood vessels in the face. Inflammation, pustules or skin thickening are usually absent. The causes are mostly genetic factors, UV damage or fundamentally sensitive skin.
Rosacea, on the other hand, is a complex, chronic inflammatory skin condition. In addition to vascular involvement, inflammatory processes and nerve irritation play a central role. This can lead to additional inflammatory skin changes and, in the long term, tissue thickening. This distinction is therapeutically crucial: while aesthetic measures are often sufficient for couperose, rosacea requires specifically anti-inflammatory, vessel-stabilising and skin-friendly treatment.
In the High Care Longevity Concept, rosacea treatment specifically addresses the underlying mechanisms. The device-based methods work without mechanical irritation and without thermal stress and are designed to reduce inflammation, stabilise blood vessels and lastingly calm the skin.
SPM Face – gentle lymph activation for redness and a feeling of pressure – Fine, pulsating suction impulses activate the superficial lymphatic channels particularly gently. Accumulated tissue water and inflammation-promoting substances can thus be transported away more effectively. This relieves the sensitive vessels, reduces redness and burning and improves microcirculation. At the same time, the development of chronic congestion is prevented.
Dermio Care – light and ion treatment to reduce inflammation – Dermio Care uses red LED light and negatively charged oxygen ions. This combination works deep in the skin, reduces oxidative processes, stabilises the capillaries and calms overstimulated nerve fibres. The sensation of heat and skin reactivity can noticeably decrease, while the skin barrier is strengthened and silent inflammation is reduced.
IONO Jet – introducing active ingredients without skin irritation – With the IONO Jet, vessel-calming and anti-inflammatory active ingredients such as purslane, niacinamide or panthenol are introduced into the skin contact-free and without heat. The targeted supply of the inflamed skin layers supports cell regeneration, calms reactive skin conditions and contributes to a visible improvement of the complexion.
The causes have not been conclusively clarified. Genetic factors, disorders of vascular regulation, an overactive immune system and environmental factors probably interact.
Rosacea cannot be cured, but it can be treated well. The goal is to minimise flare-ups, ease redness and strengthen vascular health.
Avoid personal triggers such as alcohol, very spicy foods or hot drinks if you notice that they intensify redness.
Typical signs are persistent facial redness, visible small veins and sensitivity to irritation. A definitive diagnosis is made by a dermatologist.
