Couperose is a benign vascular condition that is manifested by the presence of diffuse redness And of small visible blood vessels (telangiectasias), mainly on the cheeks, nose and chin. It results from a permanent dilation of the cutaneous capillaries and is often accompanied by a increased sensitivity, sensations of heat or tingling. Although not dangerous, couperose can be a source of aesthetic and emotional discomfort. It affects women as well as men and generally occurs in adulthood.
Genetic predisposition and natural fragility of capillaries.
