What to do with red cheeks so that your nose does not grow



Often a rather innocent, permanent blush appears on the cheeks. Well, cheeks are red and that's it. Sometimes this is the beginning of such an unpleasant pathology as rosacea and rosacea. And sometimes it all starts at a fairly young age.

Outwardly, it begins as the expansion of individual vessels of the skin, the formation of spider veins (telangiectasias). The problem occurs a bit later, if you do not solve the problem with vascular tone and wait for the consequences with structural changes in the skin. There are many reasons for the development of this disease, but most often it is the effect of an extremely cold or hot climate on the skin, abuse of peeling and especially alcohol.

I would immediately like to warn that the post may not seem the most enjoyable in terms of illustrations, but this is just the case when it is important to see the problem at an early stage.

Why are women lucky and what have the vessels to do with it?


You probably paid attention to the difference in mortality statistics between men and women, especially if you take a sample for cardiovascular causes of death. Women almost never die before the age of 50 from heart attacks and strokes, and rarely suffer from hypertension. The exceptions are, as a rule, genetic defects such as an inborn curve of cerebral vascular bookmarks or aneurysms of large arteries.

The reason lies in estrogen. Yes, sorry, men, but here you are out of luck. Estrogen receptors are found in vascular endothelium, smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes, which makes them a target for sex hormones. In the long run, complex regulatory chains lead to a significant reduction in the risks of vascular damage and atherosclerosis. That is, while men heroically grow atherosclerotic plaques on key arteries, women have almost virgin clean vessels and excellent blood supply.

Unfortunately, the fate of the individual after the end of the fertile period is practically indifferent to heartless evolution, and all the “bonuses” safely end with the onset of menopause, when the ovaries cease to fulfill their function. At this point, all the problems that estrogen protected from are beginning to overtake women. It should be noted that the key contribution to the aging of the body and many diseases make precisely the problems with blood circulation.

Rosacea and skin



Cuperosis can also begin at a young age.

Cuperosis is a pathology of capillaries, very similar in form to varicose veins of the extremities. All pathological age-related changes in blood vessels in one way or another lead to several key problems:

  1. Loss of vessel elasticity.
  2. Local areas of thinning of the walls of blood vessels and their deformation.
  3. Pathological compensatory proliferation of blood vessels.

On average, the cell should be located no further than 700 microns from the nearest vessel in order to breathe and eat normally. If there is no normal vessel nearby, and the cell will miss this, it will begin to degrade, and it will be replaced by others that are more resistant to hypoxia.


Approximately such fibroblasts form the structure of the skin.

Approximately such a scenario awaits your skin if areas with insufficient blood supply begin to appear in it. At this point, fibroblasts enter the scene. They are very close to their ancestors - progenitor stem cells - and are highly active. They synthesize the extracellular matrix of elastin, collagen and other proteins that make up the structural basis of our skin. Fibroblasts are very important as “workers” for the emergency closure of significant defects such as wounds. The result of their work will be scar tissue. The problem is that they are also the very cells that begin to work actively in conditions of hypoxia, gradually forming fibrous areas in the once normal skin.


The patient with the initial form of rosacea

And here it looks like a heavy form



At the moment when fibroblasts are included in the pathological process with skin arterioles, rosacea begins to form in a person . This is an extremely common disease, and it is especially common for fair-skinned Caucasians to be affected due to the population features of the skin structure. In fact, this is an angioneurotic disease with damage to blood vessels, small nerve endings and connective tissue. Women are sick three times more often than men, especially after 40 years due to the extinction of estrogen synthesis.

Causes of problems


There are many reasons for the development of rosacea and rosacea.

External factors:

  1. Damage to the skin with ultraviolet light, severe frost or dry heat, frequent chemical peels.
  2. The use of food and fluid, causing a sharp expansion of blood vessels. Especially alcohol stands out here. The appearance of the face of an alcoholic is formed precisely because of this disease. Also, love of spicy foods can be one of the negative factors.

Internal factors:

  1. Infectious skin diseases.
  2. Some endocrine pathologies.
  3. Everyone’s favorite parasite is the Demodex tick, which we talked about before .

There are several forms of rosacea, but I want to note the erythematous-telangiectatic form, when the patient has a constant "blush" due to the continuously dilated vessels and spider veins. This is usually the nose and cheeks.

Sometimes ears are affected


At the same time, the thinner and more transparent the skin - the more noticeable the problem.


This is how the nose can grow with rhinophyma.

The most severe variant of rosacea is the phimatous form, when fibroblasts form huge fibrous growths, which, in combination with overgrown sebaceous glands, form phymes - tuberous growths of skin areas. A typical option for men is rhinophyma, which you probably often saw. Skin growths sometimes reach huge sizes, hang down, close the nostrils and mouth, making breathing difficult, eating and disfiguring the face.

When it comes to phimatous form, treatment is only possible surgical. It is necessary to cut off the layers of hypertrophic skin, excising the affected tissue and forming a normal contour.

How to treat this horror


As always, it’s much easier to repair everything at the stage of functional impairment, avoiding the structural pathology of the skin. First of all, it is necessary to exclude traumatic factors. If you live in conditional Norilsk - do not forget to protect your face from frost, do not allow hypothermia. If the climate, on the contrary, is hot, use moisturizers in order to prevent overdrying of the skin. We have excellent products for this: Intensive Rejuvenation Serum and Moisturizing Gel + .

Understand your diet. If you have a predisposition to this disease, then, alas, you will have to abandon the epically sharp sauces from Habanero and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Any other hot spices should also be minimized. Particular attention should be paid to alcohol. A glass of wine once a month will not be a problem, but regular consumption, among other problems, causes chronic expansion of the vessels of the skin, disrupting their tone and provoking the disease.


The Demodex tick, which can now eat your skin from the inside, should

also consult a doctor about demodicosis. If single representatives of these microscopic mites live in your skin, then this is not a problem. But with an increase in their number, they can already provoke many problems, including rosacea and rosacea. If that - we haveDemoten gel to solve this problem if a dermatologist has identified a problem with Demodex.

After we removed or minimized the provoking factors, we need to improve microcirculation and tone of the walls of arterioles. There are several solutions.

Firstly, some drugs can be taken orally. These are fairly well-known drugs for the treatment of varicose veins based on Diosmin and Hesperidin. It will also be useful to make sure that you have sufficient intake of vitamin C. It greatly affects the strength of the vascular wall - remember the same bleeding gums with scurvy.

Secondly, the same components can and should be applied locally for effective delivery to the problem area. In the case of circulatory problems, a situation often arises when the substance simply does not reach the affected area in sufficient concentrations. For this, our team was able to develop a very effective anti-couperose gel . Moreover, we went beyond GOST and passed advanced tests, as well as two-stage clinical trials to ensure not only the safety, but also the effectiveness of the solution.

A key development challenge is the delivery of components deep into the tissue. Oddly enough, the main function of the skin is protection. Its permeability is very selective and limited, otherwise the first staphylococcus that comes across would already happily eat subcutaneous fat. That is why the key components of the gel are low molecular and can penetrate deep enough to have a therapeutic effect on the vessels. High molecular weight components work on the surface, facilitating the formation of a healthy protective barrier.

What we added to the gel


The gel contains many extracts of various plants that contain active substances — vasoprotectors that affect the vascular wall. In particular, these are extracts of horse chestnut, needles, Asiatic centella, grape leaves, ivy and buckwheat, as well as the bioflavonoid troxerutin. With an ideal evidence base for each extract, it is difficult due to the large number of components, but it works perfectly in the complex, judging by the results of clinical trials.

A very important component is hyaluronic acid. This is a biopolymer that is critical for the formation of a normal extracellular matrix of the skin. It is also administered as an injection when modeling the shape of the face. And this component (in a high molecular weight form) forms an excellent protective barrier, preventing the skin from losing moisture. Since skin with rosacea and rosacea is characterized by “inappropriate behavior” and hyperreactivity caused by a disturbed immune response, enhancing the protective function of the skin is simply necessary to improve its condition.


DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol)

Another interesting component is DMAE. It is not basic, therefore we cannot say that the main function of the gel is to prevent signs of skin aging. Nevertheless, it has a pronounced tightening effect, and quite quickly. Traditionally, this component is used to restore skin tone after long flights, to improve atonic dull skin, especially in smokers. Have you noticed that a negroid population, as a rule, is almost without pronounced wrinkles and signs of aging? This is largely due to the fact that the thickness of the dermal layer is greater. DMAE works the same way - it stimulates fibroblasts, due to which they slightly thicken the skin.


A nicotinic acid

The most interesting component is Niacin, also known as vitamin PP, B3, or nicotinic acid. This vitamin in the form of nicotinamide is involved in almost any biochemical reaction and plays key roles in fat metabolism, ATP synthesis, and many others. It has a weak anticoagulant effect, partly similar to the effect of heparin, but much weaker. As a result, blood rheology improves and the positive effect is enhanced.

This component in high concentration can have a very pronounced side effect - local redness of the skin. Nicotinic acid has an extremely powerful effect on capillaries, causing their expansion and improving microcirculation. To avoid redness of the skin, the gel of this component is less than 1%. Typically, such a concentration does not cause pronounced redness, since in such an amount, vitamin PP affects the vessels in a safe mode for them, but sometimes, in about 5% of cases, patients have an increased sensitivity to it. That is why we always ask for a start to test the gel on the inside of the forearm in order to evaluate the reaction. Otherwise, there is a small chance to get a red face. No not like this. Very RED. It goes away in a few minutes or hours, but not everyone will be happy,that they will have to go to a business meeting or a date in this form. Some patients apply it at night, but this is already under the responsibility of the person himself. Redness goes away, but a pronounced positive effect remains.

Sometimes there are allergic reactions, after several applications. Here are standard recommendations with the abolition of cosmetics and the appointment of antihistamines.

Professional use


This gel can also be used by professional cosmetologists in combination with physiotherapeutic techniques to enhance its healing properties. These methods of exposure to the skin can better overcome the protective barrier of the skin and more effectively saturate the tissue with therapeutic components. In fact, two main options are used - iontophoresis and ultraphonophoresis.

In iontophoresis, an electric current is used to cause polar ions to migrate into the tissue. First of all, these are vitamins PP and C. At the same time, non-polar proteins do not react to direct current in any way. I just want to note right away that with rosacea and rosacea, any physiotherapy using currents is contraindicated.

With phonophoresis, in contrast, ultrasound facilitates the delivery and transfer of heavy molecules deep into the skin. These are substances from plant extracts and hyaluronic acid.

In any case, such professional methods should be used exclusively by trained specialists who know all the nuances.

Summary


I must say that this excellent product would not have been possible without our team of chemical technologists. Yes, the same one, still from the USSR, with honest candidate and doctoral degrees. It turned out an excellent concentrated gel with an economical flow rate, which allows you to solve the problem before your nose turns into potatoes and your face is covered with an unpleasant vascular network.

Just do not forget to be examined by doctors before doing anything.
