Rosacea is not curable, but its symptoms are very treatable. For inflammatory symptoms, such as rosacea-related acne, see a dermatologist for treatment, which will likely include oral and topical antibiotics. Once the inflammation has subsided, you can further improve your skin’s appearance with one or more of the procedures listed below.
Laser Therapy: The VBeam Pulsed Dye Laser is the most powerful method of treating the redness associated with rosacea. It substantially reduces visible blood vessels. The treatment stimulates collagen formation; patients who undertake it for redness also enjoy the benefit of younger and healthier looking skin. Multiple treatments are needed for best results.
Medical Skin Care Products: When you have rosacea, you must be exceptionally careful about the products you put on your skin. Many over-the-counter skin care products contain ingredients such as alcohol and acids that will worsen your symptoms. Our Centre offers a variety of professional skin care products – cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens and so on – that gently care for your skin without causing rosacea flare-ups. These are products you won’t find in any drugstore or department store
Chemical Peels: Several types of chemical peels can be very effective in improving the redness and other symptoms of rosacea.
