Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, flushing, pimples, and, in advanced stages, thickened skin. It commonly affects the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. Women are more often affected than men, and symptoms may include a burning sensation or skin sensitivity. Rosacea tends to relapse and remit over time, making ongoing care essential.
Managing Triggers and Skin Care
Treatment often combines medical therapy with lifestyle adjustments. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF and gentle skin care products is recommended. Depending on symptom severity, your provider may suggest:
-
Topical prescription creams
-
Oral medications
Identifying and avoiding personal triggers — which may include stress, sun exposure, hormonal changes, alcohol, or spicy foods — is also an important part of managing rosacea.
Cosmetic Treatments for Rosacea
Many patients seek cosmetic options to reduce redness and visible blood vessels. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is the most popular treatment:
-
Sends low-energy light into affected skin
-
Reduces redness, dilated veins, and unwanted pigmentation
-
Can be combined with other laser treatments or fillers
-
Minimal discomfort and no downtime
We understand how frustrating and sensitive rosacea can be. Personalized treatment plans, combining medical therapy and cosmetic options like IPL, can reduce redness, minimize flares, and improve overall skin health. Lifestyle adjustments, skincare recommendations, and ongoing care help patients feel confident in their skin.
