Understanding Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by facial flushing and redness, often appearing in a butterfly-shaped pattern across the cheeks, nose, and forehead. It is caused by genetic vascular reactivity, which affects the small blood vessels in the skin.
Although rosacea primarily impacts the face, it may also present as redness on the chest, red or irritated eyes, and skin thickening around the nose. Symptoms commonly include dryness, sensitivity, stinging sensations, visible blood vessels, pustules, and swelling. Flare-ups are often triggered by factors such as extreme weather conditions, exercise, certain foods, and hot or alcoholic beverages.
Professional Rosacea Management
While there is no cure for rosacea, expertly guided skin management and professional treatments can significantly reduce symptoms. These treatments not only alleviate rosacea symptoms but also target underlying skin concerns, promoting long-term resilience against flare-ups.
Treatment plans may include:
- Clinically effective skincare
- Topical therapies
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
- Clinical skin needling
