Rosacea, which usually occurs on the face, is an inflammatory
condition. It includes redness and skin sensitivity, and it is often
accompanied by unsightly acne-type lesions. The redness is caused by
dilated blood vessels. This chronic skin disorder also may include
telengiactasia which is the presence of blood vessels or veins in the
cheek area, the nose, or the chin.
Treatments
To minimize redness, flushing, and veins, lasers and Intense Pulsed
Light (IPL), have been proven to be optimal choices for maintaining
control of Rosacea. These treatments can be done in a single session,
but they are more often done in a series for optimal results. They
require no downtime or lifestyle interruption. In addition,topical
treatments may include prescription oral and topical antibiotics
and/or pharmaceutical grade creams and cleansers. These help keep the
skin eruption and inflammation under control. Anyone suffering from
this condition should avoid aggravating circumstances such as severe
cold, sun exposure, alcohol, heat, and wind.
