Couperose

Acne scars occur after the skin gets damaged or inflamed. The wound healing is disrupted and small pits are formed in the skin; acne scars. In some cases, the scars can irritate and get red. These scars are located somewhat on top of the skin and sometimes can cause an itchy feeling

Acne scars can be divided into three types:

Ice pick scars: 1-2 mm large scars that penetrate deep into the skin
Larger depressed scars

Multiple atrophic muculae: initially purple in colour, they become white and less noticeable after a number of months

Treatments

Couperose skin treatment

The laser can treat the excess vessels very successfully, without damaging the surrounding tissues and skin. After 2 treatments, a major improvement will be visible. Usually 3 treatments will be necessary, though.

It’s important to use proper sun protection during the period that you are being treated and not to go to a tanning bed or sauna.

Punctured veins

Punctured veins, spider veins or spider naevi are local dilations of small blood vessels in the skin. They usually occur in the face.
Although this is also a completely harmless condition, it is considered unappealing.

Using a laser, these veins can often be removed in 1 treatment, without damaging the surrounding skin.
