Couperose is among the most frequent skin diseases in adulthood – and also among the most unpleasant. The fine capillaries which look bluish-red through the skin generally appear in the face and are immediately visible. They are most prominent on the cheeks and around the nose.
Genetic predisposition is one of its most frequent causes. But also

In our dermatology consultation, we analyze your skin and show you several ways to successfully treat the unattractive facial capillaries.
