What Is It?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and small, pus-filled bumps, often on the face. Common in adults, particularly those with fair skin, rosacea may also cause a burning sensation or swelling. The condition can worsen over time if untreated, with certain triggers like sunlight, spicy foods, and stress exacerbating symptoms. Severe cases can lead to skin thickening, especially around the nose. Effective treatment can help manage rosacea and improve skin appearance.
Did you know?
Sun exposure is a significant trigger for rosacea flare-ups.
What Are The Causes?
Genetics
Family history can play a role in rosacea development.
Immune System
An overactive immune response may contribute to inflammation associated with rosacea.
Demodex Mites
Increased numbers of skin mites can worsen rosacea symptoms.
Environmental Triggers
Sun exposure, cold weather, and wind can exacerbate rosacea.
Dietary Triggers
Hot beverages, alcohol, and spicy foods are known to trigger rosacea symptoms.
How to Prevent?
IPL Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treats rosacea by using broad-spectrum light to target the visible blood vessels and redness associated with the condition. Over time, this process minimizes redness, flushing, and the appearance of visible blood vessels. It can also promote collagen production, improving skin texture and tone.
Avoid Known Triggers
Identify and minimize exposure to personal triggers like certain foods or weather conditions.
Use Gentle Skin Products
Choose products designed for sensitive skin to avoid irritation.
Protect from Sun Exposure
Regularly apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help prevent flare-ups.
