Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels, usually on the face. It commonly affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead and is characterized by flushing, persistent redness, visible blood vessels (telangiectasia), and, in some cases, bumps or pimples that resemble acne. Although rosacea has no known cause, it is thought to be caused by genetics, immune system issues, and environmental triggers such as sun exposure, heat, stress, and certain foods or beverages.
Treatment Options for Rosacea
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is one of the most effective treatments for rosacea. It targets the blood vessels under the skin, reducing redness and improving overall skin tone.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP stimulates the skin’s natural healing process by promoting collagen production, which can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with rosacea.
Picosure®
Picosure® laser treatment uses short pulses of energy to target and break up visible blood vessels, effectively reducing redness caused by rosacea.
Lutronic Clarity® & Lutronic Ultra®
These advanced laser technologies are designed to treat rosacea by reducing the appearance of blood vessels, minimizing redness, and improving skin texture.
Tempsure®
Tempsure® uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and reduce inflammation, helping to calm the symptoms of rosacea and improve skin appearance.
Skin Bleaching
For persistent pigmentation and dark spots caused by rosacea, skin bleaching treatments can help lighten uneven skin tones, providing a more uniform complexion.
