Rosacea is a very common skin condition where blood vessels in the face appear more visible and the skin may appear red. In some cases, small pus-filled bumps may accompany the redness. Redness caused by rosacea is often seen around the nose and cheeks, however, it is possible to spread to the chin and even to the forehead. The redness and bumps may increase and become more prominent for months at a time, and then disappear altogether. For this reason, the condition is often mistaken as an allergic reaction, or even a bad case of acne.
The condition can occur in anyone. However, it is most commonly seen in women with fair complexions. Rosacea may have a genetic component, and some people may have a genetic predisposition to it. People who suffer from Rosacea may display the following:
There is no cure for rosacea, but there are ways to control and reduce the redness and other symptoms of the condition.
At Prestige Medispa in Calgary, we offer several different treatment options for people suffering from Rosacea. We provide laser therapy from qualified technicians, which can lessen the appearance of enlarged blood vessels and redness. With laser treatment for rosacea, the redness of your skin can be controlled and greatly reduced.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is another highly effective treatment option for individuals who suffer from Rosacea. Similar to laser treatment, intense pulsed light treatment involves heating the chromophores and structures responsible for causing redness and visible veins on the face. IPL can effectively alleviate inflammation, redness, and visibly even your skin tone.
