Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, acne like red spots, and small blood vessels to appear in the face.

People with rosacea may feel self-conscious about their appearance and avoid social situations where their skin condition might flare. The condition can also cause some people to experience eye irritation, burning or stinging sensations, and facial swelling.

Rosacea is triggered by flares of inflammation in the blood vessels of the face, causing an exacerbation of redness, red spots, and small blood vessels in the face. These flare-ups are often triggered by sun exposure, heat or stress.

Rosacea Treatment

Treatment for rosacea depends on how severe it is. Topical creams can be used in mild cases, while oral medicines such as antibiotics or vitamin A derived treatments can be added in more severe cases. Vascular lasers such as the VBEAM pulsed dye laser can also be used to reduce redness and treat broken capillaries in the skin.
