Rosacea
If you’ve been noticing persistent redness on your cheeks, small visible blood vessels, or acne-like bumps that just won’t go away, these symptoms may be signs of rosacea, a common skin condition that affects millions of people.
What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that usually affects the face, especially the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It can cause:
- Facial redness and flushing
- Small, pus-filled bumps that resemble acne
- Visible blood vessels
- Burning or stinging sensations
Rosacea can flare up due to a variety of triggers, including sun exposure, certain foods, stress, hot drinks, alcohol, and certain skincare products.
Medical & Cosmetic Treatment Options
Topical prescription medications can calm inflammation, reduce breakouts, and minimize flushing. These treatments are customized to your specific type of rosacea and skin sensitivity, and can make a noticeable difference in how your skin looks and feels.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser treatment can be a great treatment option for visible blood vessels and persistent redness. IPL uses gentle pulses of light to target dilated vessels and discoloration, helping restore a more even, calm complexion over a series of treatments.
