Rosacea is a common skin condition, usually occurring on the face, which predominantly affects fair-skinned but may affect all skin types in people aged 40 to 60 years old. It is more common in women but when affecting men, it may be more severe. It is a chronic condition, and can persist for a long time and, in any individual, the severity tends to fluctuate. Rosacea usually starts with a tendency to blush easily. After a while, the central areas of the face become a permanent deeper shade of red, with small, dilated blood vessels, bumps, and pus-filled spots. The skin condition tends to affect the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. There may also be uncomfortable inflammation of the surface of the eyes and eyelids. Over time the inflammation can cause capillary damage, (please see red vein treatments). IPL Laser treatments quickly reduce the inflammation and calm the skin, while the long term affect is to strengthen the skin, so that the hormonal changes occurring in the skin cannot trigger the rosacea’s side effects to come back. A laser consultation will be done before your first treatment where will we take a medical questionnaire, conduct a small test patch, and discuss the results you desire.
