Troxevasin for rosacea on the face - how to use, reviews and recommendations

A large number of people experience the appearance of spider veins on their face. Some note their appearance after 40–45 years, others observe the development of the problem in adolescence. Such formations, called “rosacea” or “telangiectasia,” seriously worsen a person’s appearance. In addition, they serve not only as an aesthetic problem, but also as a symptom of a medical disease. Among the various methods of treating pathology, local therapy with the drug “Troxevasin” is especially popular.

What is rosacea on the face, types and stages of pathology

Cuperosis is a vascular disease associated with disruption of microcirculation processes. The pathology develops gradually. To understand the mechanism of disease development, it is necessary to delve into the anatomy.

Spider veins appear in response to impaired blood circulation in the capillaries

All blood vessels in the human body function in a contraction-relaxation mode. Thanks to this, blood is transported. As a result of certain factors (improper lifestyle, genetic predisposition, sudden temperature changes), vascular disorders begin to develop in the body. Gradually, the walls of blood vessels become thinner, lose elasticity, and become brittle. They cope with the load for a long time. But working in intensive mode worsens their condition even more.

This leads to the fact that one day the blood flow causes the vessels to expand, but the channel can no longer contract because its wall is too weakened. Stagnation phenomena are rapidly developing. Dilated vessels shine through the skin, forming stars, nets, and dots on it. Prolonged circulatory disorders provoke ruptures of small capillaries. Blood enters the tissues, forming red spots that are visible through the skin.

One day they brought my neighbor’s granddaughter, a girl of 16–18 years old. She lived with her parents in the north of the country for a long time. Then the parents divorced, dad stayed in the same town, and mom went to sunny Italy. But the child did not find a place in the new lives of her parents, so she was sent to her grandmother. The girl Arina was extremely withdrawn, she practically did not communicate with anyone. But her face was amazing. She always put a lot of makeup on him, changing her appearance beyond recognition. Little by little I managed to make friends with the girl. And she revealed her secret to me. It turns out that ugly stars appeared on the young beauty’s face. Seeing Arina without “makeup”, I was simply amazed. Never before have I seen rosacea at such a young age.

Types of pathology

Couperosis usually appears on the nose and cheeks. Moreover, it can manifest itself in the form of a wide variety of vascular patterns. Depending on the type of “pattern,” doctors distinguish the following types of telangiectasia:

linear;
point;
arachnid;
tree-like.

Pathology can only affect small vessels, but sometimes it affects large canals. Depending on the location of the problem, doctors distinguish the following types of rosacea:

capillary (this is the type that is usually found on the face);
arterial;
venous (this pathology is most often diagnosed in the legs).

Stages of rosacea

Couperosis develops in several stages:

At the first stage, the problem is almost invisible. Sometimes red spots appear on the face. They are usually caused by visiting a sauna, a long walk in the cold, drinking alcohol or drinking hot food or drinks. Since at this stage the vascular walls are still able to return to their original state, such redness completely disappears after a while.
The second degree is characterized by the appearance of red spots. They are accompanied by a vascular pattern. At this stage, the capillaries already lose their ability to narrow, so the “pattern” becomes permanent.
At the third stage, the vascular pattern becomes pronounced. Redness may be accompanied by swelling. Long-term disruption of microcirculation leads to deterioration of skin nutrition. The covers become dry. Against the background of a deficiency of nutrients, inflammatory processes on the face begin to develop.

Redness of the face in the cold is one of the symptoms of the first stage of rosacea

Couperosis requires complex treatment, including internal medication, local therapy, and cosmetic procedures. An incorrectly chosen tactic can only aggravate the pathology, so you should not practice self-medication. At the first symptoms of telangiectasia, you should contact a therapist or dermatologist.

Arina needed help, so my grandmother and I went with the girl to an appointment with a cosmetologist-dermatologist. The doctor examined the face and made us happy. Cuperosis is not as advanced as we expected. This was still the first stage in which all processes remained reversible. Arina was prescribed many tests and studies. The doctor wanted to eliminate the risk of developing hidden pathologies in the girl’s body.

Efficacy of the drug

According to reviews from cosmetologists and people who use the gel for cosmetic purposes, with its regular use, a pronounced therapeutic effect is observed.

The drug is able to block the action of hyaluronidase, a substance that destroys hyaluronic acid and reduces the elasticity of the skin. In addition, the drug has a rejuvenating effect, slows down the aging process and stimulates blood circulation in the deep layers of the epidermis, promoting its oxygen supply. The first results in the form of improved skin condition will be visible after 7–10 days of regular use of the cream.

The active substances of the gel help strengthen capillary walls, reduce fragility and permeability of small blood vessels. When using Troxevasin against spider veins on the face, it will be possible to narrow blood vessels, improve blood circulation and restore normal skin color. The effect of use appears after a few weeks.

The drug stops the inflammatory process and prevents the growth of bacteria, therefore it is effective in the treatment of acne. Due to the medicine’s ability to improve metabolic processes in the skin, it also helps remove acne marks.

Due to the fact that the components of the drug reduce the permeability of capillaries, the liquid stops flowing into the tissues, and the already accumulated liquid is absorbed. Therefore, Troxevasin can be applied to the face to eliminate puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.

Treatment of rosacea on the face with Troxevasin gel

Gel "Troxevasin" is prescribed by doctors as part of complex therapy in the fight against rosacea. Moreover, the drug can be used to treat both the initial stages and advanced stages. But in the latter case, it is recommended to combine it with the internal administration of Troxevasin capsules.

Instructions for use

Initially, it is necessary to prepare the face for therapy. To do this, you need to wash your face with warm water and cleanse your skin of dirt. For this procedure, only special lotions or foams are used that are marked “for couperose skin.” It is strictly forbidden to resort to massage mittens or aggressive means to remove the stratum corneum . This will lead to serious consequences and increased severity of rosacea.

Now use the following algorithm:

Squeeze a little gel onto the pads of your fingers.
Gently apply the drug to areas of skin damaged by rosacea.
Lightly massage the skin until the gel is completely absorbed into the epidermis.
Wait 30–40 minutes.
Remains of the drug can be blotted with a paper towel.

If the gel is used to treat the initial stage of rosacea, it is recommended to apply it once a day. In this case, it is best to plan treatment for the evening. If the pathology has already reached a very pronounced stage, then Troxevasin gel must be applied twice a day (morning and evening).

The gel is applied to clean skin on areas damaged by rosacea.

If the treatment had not been prescribed by my cosmetologist friend, whom I have been turning to for many years, perhaps I would have doubted the chosen tactics. But remembering that my friend had helped more than one of her clients, I confidently declared: “Arina, we’re starting treatment.” And we started therapy. It must be said that the girl herself, unlike my grandmother and I, was 100% confident of victory. She strictly followed all the doctor's recommendations. Arina completely abandoned her “makeup” and treated problem areas with Troxevasin gel twice a day.

What not to do

To prevent treatment from causing harm to the body, you must follow a few simple rules:

During gel therapy, it is recommended to refrain from using cosmetics. Some components may react and cause negative consequences (rash, itching, redness).
The gel should not be applied to open wounds. If there are such lesions on your face, be sure to avoid them or postpone using the product until the skin has completely healed.
Protect mucous membranes and eyes from contact with the gel. If this happens, rinse them immediately with running water. In case of discomfort, be sure to seek medical help.

Duration of therapy

Treatment of rosacea is a rather lengthy process. Typically, the gel is prescribed for 2–4 weeks, depending on the stage of the pathology. After just one week, a decrease in the severity of the rosacea network should be observed. If this does not happen, then you need to consult a doctor and reconsider the prescribed therapy.

The duration of treatment depends on the stage of rosacea

Sometimes gel treatment can be extended. But only the doctor makes this decision. You can repeat courses of therapy with Troxevasin an unlimited number of times, subject to a 2-3 week break and constant supervision by a specialist.

Gel "Troxevasin" is used only in the presence of a vascular network. When rosacea disappears from the face, treatment is stopped. If the problem recurs again, then gel treatment is started again.

Product effectiveness

According to reviews of people who had to experience the effect of Troxevasin gel against rosacea on the face, the drug is indeed very effective. It allows you to achieve the following positive aspects:

make skin smooth;
restore elasticity to the skin;
tighten the oval;
reduce the severity of the vascular network;
rejuvenate the skin;
reduce swelling;
reduce facial hyperemia (redness).

Treatment with Troxevasin helps to significantly reduce the appearance of vascular networks on the face

I had to leave for a week for work. Going on my business trip, I made Arina promise that she would continue treatment. Returning home a week later, I didn’t even have time to close the door when Arina appeared on the threshold. “Well, do you think the treatment is helping?” – the girl asked. I carefully examined my charge’s face and was truly surprised. Spider veins became less noticeable, her face acquired a delicate, natural color, and Arina herself became fresher. “Not only does it help, this treatment works wonders! You have become a real beauty!” – I supported the girl.

Cost of the drug

Troxevasin gel is considered a completely budget-friendly product. Its price (for a 40 g tube) is about 215 rubles.

Indications for use

The instructions do not contain information that the drug is intended to eliminate bruises or bags under the eyelids. A direct indication for the use of the gel is varicose veins (lower limbs), as well as hemorrhoids. The instructions also indicate the following indications for use of the drug:

swelling and pain, heaviness in the legs;
varicose dermatitis;
thrombophlebitis;
varicose veins;
periphlebitis;
hematomas;
injuries.

Thus, Troxevasin can be used to eliminate bruises of various etiologies.

When a drug can cause harm: contraindications and side effects

You should not use Troxevasin gel without a doctor’s prescription. Despite the fact that the drug is recognized as safe and can even be prescribed to pregnant women, it is quite capable of causing harm. Most often this happens in situations where contraindications are completely ignored or the gel is abused.

Gel contraindications

Troxevasin gel, like any medication, has some contraindications. The medicine is not recommended for use in the following conditions or pathologies:

children's age (up to 18 years);
first trimester of pregnancy;
infected, purulent wounds;
individual sensitivity to the drug.

Troxevasin gel can sometimes be prescribed for the treatment of children. But such therapy is prescribed by a doctor only if the benefits of the drug significantly outweigh the potential risk for the child.

Be sure to do an allergy test by applying a little gel to your wrist

Side effects

Gel therapy may be accompanied by the following unpleasant effects:

rash;
hives;
dermatitis;
itching

Such side effects are a real allergic reaction to the drug. That is why it is necessary to check the product for individual sensitivity. To do this, apply a little gel to the wrist or the inner bend of the elbow. If no negative reactions such as rash, redness, itching, or swelling occur within 1–2 hours, then the drug can be applied to the face.

Contraindications

Troxevasin has a small number of restrictions on its use:

individual intolerance to troxerutin or other components in the composition of the product;
open wounds;
skin eczema.

People suffering from impaired renal function should use the gel with caution, namely: the drug should not be used for a long time.

If internal administration of Troxevasin is prescribed for the treatment of rosacea, then the following contraindications must be taken into account:

hypersensitivity to the active or auxiliary components of the drug;
early pregnancy (first trimester);
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: stomach or duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis in the acute stage.

And you should also be careful when using capsules in case of renal failure.

During early pregnancy, it is not recommended to use Troxevasin capsules

Side effects

When using Troxevasin, adverse reactions may sometimes occur in the form of:

skin irritation;
redness;
itching;
skin rashes;
dermatitis;
edema.

If such manifestations occur, the use of the medication must be discontinued.

"Troxevasin" as a prophylaxis: to be or not to be treated

Troxevasin gel is a medication that is used only as prescribed by a doctor to treat various diseases associated with circulatory disorders. If no symptoms characteristic of rosacea appear on the face, then there is simply no point in using the gel. In addition, excessive acceleration of microcirculation and blood thinning can result in the development of some troubles.

But if the first symptoms of telangiectasia appear on the face, then the gel will bring tangible help. However, in this case it is used not as a prophylactic agent, but as a therapeutic one, because we are talking about the first stage of rosacea.

The treatment helped Arina very well. The vascular pattern almost completely disappeared from the girl’s face. She really turned into a real swan. And along with beauty came self-confidence. But at the same time, there is always a tube of Troxevasin in her first aid kit. “You never know when it might come in handy,” the girl says. And she is right, because as soon as the vascular network begins to remind itself, Arina immediately stops the problem with her favorite gel, which has already helped the young beauty out once.

Reviews on the use of Troxevasin for rosacea on the face

Troxevasin helped me a lot!
I used only ointment and only once a day, at night. I’m a nursing mother, so I didn’t take pills, and the doctor prescribed ointment for me during pregnancy for varicose veins, so despite the breastfeeding, I decided to try it for rosacea on my face. I didn’t expect a miracle, because all my life I had been unsuccessfully fighting for beautiful skin, I believed advertising and expensive products and was disappointed. In addition to rosacea, I suffered from acne and post-acne and oily skin. Not a day went by without foundation. Many people are familiar with this. Not a single guy I've dated has ever seen me without foundation. Except for my husband. The acne somehow went away gradually on its own (it’s time to do it at 32 years old), but rosacea and post-acne lesions remained. While on maternity leave, the need to wear makeup every day was no longer necessary, but I was scared to look in the mirror. and so, I accidentally came across a review on the net about Troxevasin as a remedy for post-acne and tried it. The tube had been collecting dust since pregnancy, so I didn’t even have to buy it. I smeared it on my face for a month and saw the result and was afraid to believe that the ointment was working. Despite the summer and the heat, my skin no longer looked purple, it turned pink. After a month I was happy with the result, but following the Internet I took a break for a month. There was no relapse. I repeated the course for a month and only with ointment, at night. And in the second month, my skin became what I didn’t even remember, NORMAL. I'm not embarrassed to go out without foundation. Now my cheeks don’t “burn” from frost, wind, etc. The post-acne scars are already barely noticeable, and the ointment also took care of that. I can imagine what the result would be even with pills. Today, for the first time in my life, while sitting in line, I heard a compliment that I had a well-groomed face. I didn’t have any foundation, just eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. That's why I'm writing this review. Maybe it will help someone. It’s a pity, of course, that I didn’t know about this miracle remedy before. There were so many complexes on this basis. Of course, if you look closely, not everything is so perfect and there are noticeable stars for me, but compared to what it was, this is garbage. Tatyana https://www.woman.ru/health/medley7/thread/4740486/

I suffered for six months.
Vichy, Avene, Ducret, all ointments, all vitamins. I tried everything. Only Troxevasin gel helped. After two weeks the effect appeared. And how much money did you spend on luxury cosmetics? I don’t use any other cream at all. I also took Troxevasin capsules. Olga Olga, https://www.babyblog.ru/community/post/krasota/3039343

Maybe my experience will be useful to you, because...
It’s no longer the season for laser and photo procedures. I, too, have blood vessels popping out after cleaning. I use Roselyan cream from Uriage. And I started smearing the biggest star with “troxevasin” 2 times a day and it faded after about three weeks. Absolutely, of course, but I continue to smear it for now. I also took ascorutin vitamins, because... rutin helps in the fight against rosacea. [email protected] https://www.ladiesproject.ru/question/kak-spravitsya-s-kuperozom

And one of the most effective “vascular” remedies (rosacea is a disease of blood vessels, capillaries) has a very affordable price.
This is ordinary troxevasin, which is sold in any pharmacy, and its price is quite affordable. True, it is more of a medicine than a cosmetic product. The rutin contained in its composition in combination with vitamin C effectively strengthens the wall of blood vessels (it is not for nothing that it is successfully used for varicose veins). Troxevasin gel should be applied twice a day to problem areas. At the same time, it would be nice to take ascorutin or the same troxevasin in capsules. These remedies will not completely eliminate rosacea, but will significantly reduce its manifestations. If you “capture” it at an early stage, the vascular network will not progress and will become much less noticeable. Lucy https://make-ups.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2261

Troxevasin - analogues and price

Troxerutin is not a prescription drug. It is freely available in any pharmacy chain. The cost of the product varies from 100 to 700 rubles, depending on the manufacturer and the markup of the pharmacy itself.

The quality of the gel and capsules made in Belarus, Czech, Bulgarian and Russian is absolutely the same. An analogue of the gel is considered to be those medications that contain Troxerutin. It is advisable to consult a doctor before use.

Modern pharmacology has millions of different trade names of drugs. Some of them are prescription drugs and can be sold only with a doctor's prescription. Others can be purchased independently, without special documents.

Many modern women suffer from the same problem – bags under the eyes. This symptom may appear only periodically or be a constant companion. To get rid of such a defect, representatives of the fairer sex sometimes apply Troxevasin under their eyes. Is it correct? You can learn about the features of using such a medicine from the presented article.

The effect of "Troxevasin" on bruises under the eyes

The instructions for use of the drug do not say anything that it can be used to treat bruises under the eyes. But there are always “pioneers” who begin to use this or that product to treat some ailment. The same thing happened in this case. People, having become familiar with the properties of the drug, tried it, saw a positive result, and the recipe immediately “went to the people.”

According to those who have tried the product, the gel is good because it is instantly absorbed into the skin, does not leave greasy marks, and does not interfere with the superficial application of makeup. According to reviews, it really helps, the effect is noticeable in just a couple of hours.

The main component of the gel, troxerutin, copes with the fragility of blood vessels and strengthens their walls. And these are the processes that cause damage to the capillary network, and, consequently, the appearance of hematomas and dark circles under the eyes. In addition, under the influence of troxerutin, repeated damage to healing vessels is prevented and the “spill” of the bruise is reduced.

The drug will also help get rid of swelling on the face, since one of its properties is to draw out excess fluid from the intercellular space. It will also have an analgesic effect.

But before you start using Troxevasin, you need to know the reasons for the appearance of bruises under the eyes. Once again turning to the accompanying instructions, we see that they recommend a remedy for swelling, bruises, and contusions. Therefore, it should be used in cases where the appearance of dark circles is caused by:

Overwork
Lack of sleep
Excessive alcohol consumption
Mechanical damage/trauma

If bruises are a sign of a disease within the body, then the gel will not cope with their removal, moreover, it can provoke unwanted reactions.
