Do I have Rosacea?

Rosacea (pronounced “roh-ZAY-sha”) is a chronic but treatable condition that primarily affects the central face, and is often characterized by flare-ups and remissions. Although rosacea may develop in many ways and at any age, patient surveys indicate that it typically begins any time after age 30 as flushing or redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. Studies have shown that over time the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, inflammatory bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases — particularly in men — the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue.

Treatment Option - IPL Photofacial

Intense Pulsed Light is used to painlessly target the chromophores in the blood and cauterize the capillaries that lead to skin inflammation and redness. 6-8 treatments are recommended for optimal results.

Treatment Option - LED Light therapy

The skin is cleansed using a degreasing cleanser and then the face is exposed to LED light for 20-30 minutes. The light targets irritation and redness in the skin and helps to shrink the expanded capillaries. Treatments are recommended monthly.

Treatment Option - High Frequency

Argon gas is ignited in a glass tube and the resulting charge targets the small vessels in the skin and breaks down the microchannels in the capillaries. The body can then natrually heal the area without any existing mircochannels for the blood to flow. This treatment can be done every 4-6 weeks and permanent results vary from client to client.
