WHAT IS ROSACEA AND HOW CAN IT BE TREATED?

Rosacea is a skin condition that afflicts many people. Typically, rosacea affects the face. Severity varies, from mild flushing and redness to visible blood vessels to eye problems, enlarged nose, and swollen, red bumps. Rosacea can be triggered by various things, including alcohol, extreme temperatures, certain foods and cosmetics, and exposure to wind and sun. What exactly causes a person to have rosacea is not known. There are many varieties of rosacea, and each of the subtypes has specific symptoms, but all of them include redness.

Treatment Options

Laser genesis 

Laser Genesis is a safe, quick procedure designed to treat fine lines and wrinkles, diffuse redness, and scars. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime!  

It specifically targets the broken capillaries that are causing the redness, with the heat treatment sealing off the vessel. Another function of laser genesis in patients with rosacea is to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. The slight damage that the laser does to the layers of your skin triggers it to begin producing new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. The result is healthier, younger-looking skin.
