ROSACEA
(ROH-ZAY-SHA)
WHAT IS ROSACEA?
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes flushing or redness in the face, particularly the upper cheeks and across the nose.
Some acne-like spots may form as well, however, rosacea skin is distinct from traditional acne.
ROSACEA TREATMENT
As rosacea does not have a cure, treatment is focused on managing its symptoms. Treatment is prescribed by a medical professional and depends on the person afflicted by the rosacea.
Some milder cases may be treated with a topical medication that constricts blood vessels, reducing the red appearance.
Other treatments include antibiotic and antiparasitic medications. Laser therapy is also an option, such as our Lumecca IPL, as it targets the visible blood vessels and can provide long-lasting effects.
