Skin Concerns > Rosacea

Rosacea

Rosacea is so common these days. We see this concern on a regular basis and have developed an effective plan of action to improve this concern. Rosacea generally starts off with mild redness or blushing, and can spread from the nose and cheeks to the rest of the face and even the neck and chest.

Nothing announces the onset of middle or old age quite like Rosacea can. Rosacea is a persistent, inflammatory skin condition which usually affects the face, producing tiny red, pus-filled pustules.

When and where does Rosacea occur?

This condition usually makes its appearance on the faces of individuals after the age of thirty where it makes its presence on the nose, chin, cheeks and forehead, and at times even on the chest and neck area. Visible blood vessels can appear over time; furthermore the condition could come and go from time to time.

How can i treat Rosacea?

There are no quick fixes but a smart combination of deep skin cleaning; the right skin products for your skin as well as laser treatment will ensure that this condition has the correct treatment.

What does Rosacea look like?

Rosacea does not only cause redness. Because of all the different signs and symptoms that this concern creates, it has been divided in four different categories:

• Facial Redness/Flushing and Visible Veins
• Redness accompanied with Acne-like breakouts
• Redness associated with Thickening Skin
• Rosacea affecting the eyes

Who is more likely to get Rosacea?

In general, Rosacea affects the age group of 30 – 50 years of age. The lighter skin types generally have a bigger chance of developing Rosacea. Inheriting this concern is a possibility, especially if you have a family history of Rosacea. Woman is more likely to suffer from Rosacea, however when men get this concern, they get severe Rosacea. The redness seen is because of inflammation of the blood vessels in these areas. Rosacea is often mistaken by being diagnosed for eczema, acne or some other skin allergy.

We treat Rosacea patients every single day at the Dermology skin and laser clinic. It is a very common condition which is best treated when the early signs of rosacea start to appear. If you have rosacea or know of someone who has rosacea, BBL TM is such a wonderful tool to help the skin look and feel dramatically better. Dermology skin and laser clinic uses BBL TM (Broad band) light technology to successfully reduce redness, flushing and broken capillaries. On average, 4 treatments, spaced 2- 3 weeks apart are generally required to achieve a good result. Treatments take approximately 45 minutes. The patient will be flushed after treatment, but can resume normal activities and go back to work the next day.
