What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder characterized by inflammation leading to noticeable redness on the face and possibly the eyes. This condition varies by type, with some forms resulting in pimples and skin swelling.

What Causes Rosacea?

The root cause of rosacea is unknown, but it has been observed to often occur within families and predominantly affects fair-skinned women aged 30 and above. Though its exact cause is elusive, several factors are identified as potential triggers that can provoke rosacea flare-ups. These include consuming alcohol (notably red wine), eating spicy food, drinking hot beverages, exposure to sun and wind, experiencing extreme temperatures, undergoing stress, engaging in intense physical activity, using certain medications that widen blood vessels, and applying various cosmetics.

What are the common symptoms of Rosacea?

Rosacea is characterized by various symptoms, including a noticeable redness across the face and skin that feels sensitive and dry, often resulting in a stinging feeling. Individuals may also experience the presence of bumps or pimples on the face, as well as small, clearly visible blood vessels. Over time, the skin may become rougher and thicker. Beyond affecting the skin, rosacea can impact the eyes, leading to redness, dryness, irritation, or swelling adding to the visible symptoms and discomfort associated with this condition.

Step 3: Treatment

Before initiating BBL or laser treatments in Edina & Bloomington, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort. During BBL therapy, patients experience a powerful sensation of light and warmth. This warmth delicately permeates the upper skin layers, targeting specific zones to stimulate cell renewal, amplify collagen production, and ultimately cultivate luminous, rejuvenated skin. It refines the skin’s texture, evens its tone, and boosts its inherent radiance. In contrast, the laser treatment involves setting customized parameters specific to your skin’s needs for precise heat delivery. To enhance comfort, a cooling system is employed to maintain skin temperature and alleviate any discomfort throughout the procedure. The treatment is methodically performed across different sections of the skin to guarantee comprehensive coverage and optimal results.

Step 4: Follow Up

A follow-up appointment is set for one month after your treatment to assess the outcomes. During this visit, we’ll review the healing progress of the treated area and address any inquiries or concerns you might have. We’ll also evaluate if the treatment has met your expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which treatment option is best?

Your physician will help you make the right choices as to which treatment option is best. Sometimes a combination of treatments gives the best results.

How does it work?

Our vascular laser, BBL devices, and Halo treatments remove unwanted vessels that cause the blush of rosacea and spider veins.

How many sessions will I need?

Some may be happy with just one session, but we usually recommend an initial series of three treatments.

Are the treatments uncomfortable?

Using our pain control measures such as topical numbing or a cold air chiller, our patients can experience amazing results with minor discomfort.

Is there downtime?

Depending on which treatment method or methods are selected, there is usually no downtime. Occasionally when the vessels get treated they get darker for 4 to 5 days before the body eliminates them.

How can you prevent rosacea?

To prevent rosacea, maintain a journal to identify and avoid triggers linked to flare-ups, stress, weather conditions, and specific foods or beverages. It’s also crucial to apply sunscreen daily that offers broad-spectrum protection (covering both UVA and UVB rays) with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 15. Additionally, avoid facial products that may irritate your skin.

Are there different types of rosacea?

Rosacea can manifest in four distinct categories, each characterized by its unique set of symptoms:

  1. Pre-rosacea: This initial stage is marked by frequent redness and flushing across the face and neck.
  2. Vascular Rosacea: At this stage, facial blood vessels swell, resulting in a warm, swollen appearance of the skin, which is particularly prevalent among women.
  3. Inflammatory Rosacea: This type involves the development of pimples and enlarged blood vessels on the face, signaling an advancement in the condition.
  4. Rhinophyma: Characterized by an increase in the size of oil glands in the nose and cheeks, leading to a noticeably enlarged, bulbous, and red nose. This condition is almost exclusively observed in men.
Does diet affect rosacea?

Common dietary factors that have been identified as potential contributors to rosacea flare-ups are alcohol, foods with a high spice level, items containing cinnamaldehyde such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, and chocolate, beverages served hot, and foods high in histamine like aged cheeses, wine, and processed meats.

Are there risk factors for getting rosacea?

Rosacea can affect anyone, though certain factors may increase your risk of developing this condition. These include having easily sunburned skin, being within the 30 to 50 age brackets, a personal history of smoking, or a genetic predisposition indicated by a family member who also has rosacea.

How does rosacea differ from acne?

Rosacea and acne are distinct skin conditions, often confused due to their overlapping symptoms. While both can cause inflammation and redness, acne is primarily characterized by clogged hair follicles leading to pimples, blackheads, and scarring. It’s influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and bacteria. On the other hand, rosacea presents with persistent redness, swelling, and sometimes eye issues, but lacks the comedones typical of acne. Triggered by environmental and lifestyle factors like sun exposure and dietary choices, rosacea is a chronic, relapsing condition with episodes of worsening symptoms followed by periods of remission.
