Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder that can result in sensitivity, flushing, redness, broken capillaries, and breakouts.
A few of the most common triggers of rosacea are:
Alcohol
Spicy foods
Exercise
Stress
Sun exposure
…and more.
There are 4 subtypes of Rosacea.
Facial Redness
Bumps and Pimples
Skin Thickening
Eye irritation
Our office usually sees types 1 and 2, which we treat with lasers or light, and topical skincare designed to suppress the mechanism that causes the redness of rosacea.
Broad Band Light (BBL) and The Rejuvenating & Tightening Laser Facial are two of our most popular treatments for the redness of rosacea. There is no downtime with either procedure. (See actual patient before/after photos). Results can be maintained with topical lotions or serums with ingredients like Niacinimide, Ginger Root Extract, Bisabolol, and Vitamin E to calm inflammation, and by avoiding the triggers.
