What is Rosacea?

As one of the most prevalent skin diseases, rosacea is associated with intense, often noticeable redness. It’s usually caused by abnormal blood vessels, most commonly affecting the chin, cheeks and forehead. Rosacea can also extend its grasp to the ears, chest, and back as well.

Rosacea has four incarnations:

Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea, which are flushed, visible blood vessels that result in intense redness.

Papulopustular Rosacea, which harvests inflammation and breakouts that look like acne.

Phymatous Rosacea, which thickens your skin and gives it a bumpy, rough texture.

Ocular Rosacea, which produces redness and irritation in the eyes, leaving eyelids swollen, making a person look like they have a sty. Usually, if the situation goes untreated, this can spread and cause permanent redness in the center of their face.

How do we treat Rosacea?

Though rosacea lacks a definite cure, there are non-surgical treatments that can help alleviate your redness. Multiple treatments may be necessary to get your redness under control. Wavelength technology is incorporated for optimum results. Targeted areas absorb laser energy, which will proceed to destroy the blood vessel walls. Your body will break down the tissue and transport it away from your skin’s surface, reducing the redness. Laser therapy is an increasingly effective treatment for various forms of rosacea, from minor to severe. The procedure is clinically proven to reduce your visible blood vessels and redness.

We will come up with a plan of action and devise a custom tailored treatment to your particular needs. Call today and schedule your consultation.
