What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition affecting the skin on the nose, cheeks, and forehead. The symptoms include reddened skin, flushing, visible blood vessels, and breakouts. Symptoms usually flare up and then fade, over and over, and the condition can be embarrassing or painful.
The cause of rosacea is not entirely understood, but some evidence suggests that it might be hereditary and that the skin responds to specific environmental triggers. If you suffer from rosacea, symptoms may appear or worsen when you:
Consume spicy foods
Drink hot coffee or tea
Consume foods containing cinnamaldehyde, such as cinnamon, chocolate, tomatoes, or citrus fruit
Our IPL treatments have proven to be one of the most effective treatments for rosacea. The light energy emitted by the device enters your skin, constricting the blood vessels. As with any laser treatment, IPL should be performed under the care of a board-certified physician and trained technician. The procedure is not very difficult to experience, producing a sensation that feels like a hot snap against your skin. It takes only minutes to complete.
Your treatment regimen may include microneedling with RF to trigger natural skin regeneration. This treatment goes beyond standard microneedling, as the depth of the microchannels created by the needles go deeper into the skin tissues and emit RF energy to stimulate natural regeneration.
Regular, mild chemical peels can help you keep your facial skin looking refreshed and renewed. As your skin is likely sensitive, tending to dryness, only a very mild formula should be applied.
