What is Rosacea?

Are you bothered by facial flushing and blushing, persistent facial redness, inflamed pimple-like bumps, or burning and grittiness of the eyes? If so, you may suffer from Rosacea, an extremely common condition that affects an estimated 14 million Americans.

CAUSES

While the exact cause of Rosacea is unknown and there is currently no cure, it can be controlled with lifestyle modifications, prescription medications, and laser / light therapy.

SYMPTOMS

It begins with facial flushing and blushing, and then progresses to persistent facial redness, broken facial blood vessels, and inflamed pimple-like bumps. Severe cases can result in skin thickening of the central face called rhinophyma. Some patients with Rosacea also have an overabundance of oil gland growths called sebaceous hyperplasia.

Treatments for Rosacea

We can provide you with a customized plan of gentle skin care and broad-spectrum sun protection, discuss the avoidance of certain triggers that can make your skin worse, and prescribe topical and oral medications. We can also recommend the type of light or laser treatment that can greatly improve the redness, flushing, and enlarged blood vessels of rosacea.
