Understanding rosacea – symptoms and causes of rosacea
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that mainly affects the face. The main symptoms are a flushing and blushing of the skin and the appearance of visible blood vessels. The skin can also become inflamed and in some cases, excess tissue can form. This typically happens around the nose area.
The most common area to develop rosacea is on the central parts of the face such as the nose and cheeks. However, it can also appear in other areas of the body including the neck and chest.
What causes rosacea and what triggers a rosacea flare-up?
One of the most frustrating things for rosacea sufferers is that the causes of rosacea are still unknown. However, we do know that certain factors can aggravate rosacea symptoms and cause them to get worse.
The most common triggers for rosacea flare-ups include:
- Sun exposure
- Stress or anxiety
- Alcohol consumption
- The weather including heat and cold
- Hairspray
- Spicy foods
Not all rosacea sufferers will have the same triggers, so it is important that you monitor what causes your rosacea to flare up. Not only will this help you manage your rosacea symptoms, but it will also allow our doctors or practitioners to find the most effective course of treatment for you.
What is the best rosacea treatment?
If you have mild rosacea symptoms, you may find that topical medications can help you get your rosacea under control. However, if you have more severe rosacea with symptoms like deep skin redness, visible blood vessels and thread veins, you will need a more effective long-term treatment.
Laser treatment or laser therapy is one of the best options to treat rosacea. This is because the laser energy targets and treats visible blood vessels, reduces redness and helps with new collagen growth. This results in stronger skin, an improvement in your skin texture and a healthier and clearer complexion.
How does Laser Genesis treat rosacea?
Laser Genesis is a gentle, yet powerful form of laser therapy that is an ideal way to treat rosacea symptoms such as skin redness and inflammation. It does this by targeting the underlying causes of these symptoms rather than just treating the issues on the skin’s surface.
The laser treatment works by using Nd: Yag laser technology to gently heat the skin just below the surface. By doing this, it helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin. It also helps to constrict enlarged blood vessels, which helps to treat facial redness and give you a more even skin tone.
It is a more gentle option compared to intense pulsed light therapy (IPL). This means it can treat all skin tones and skin types, which makes it perfect for those with sensitive skin. You also do not need any numbing cream and there is no long recovery time.
This makes Laser Genesis a win-win for those with a busy schedule who want to reduce the visible signs of rosacea.
Do I need more than one laser treatment session to see results?
When you are treating any skin condition, including rosacea, you will need a course of treatments to see optimal results. You will start to see visible improvements in your skin after your first laser treatment, but these continue to get better as you progress through your treatment plan.
The number of laser treatment sessions you will need will depend on how severe your rosacea is and how your skin responds to the treatment. On average, we recommend a course of 4-6 Laser Genesis treatments, which will need to be spaced 2-4 weeks apart. This allows your skin to settle and for the new collagen and elastin to start forming.
A course of Laser Genesis treatment will not only provide long-term benefits such as increasing the strength of your skin, but it can also help reduce the risk of future rosacea flare-ups.
To help maintain your results, we do advise that you come back to the clinic every 6-12 months for a top-up treatment.
