Rosacea at Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine, Chagrin Falls

Woman with soft skin

Patients over the age of 30 are more susceptible to developing rosacea. This skin condition is a chronic problem and can result in redness, pimples, swelling, and the appearance of small blood vessels on the face. Rosacea is not contagious but may be linked to genetics. Over 14 million men and women in America suffer from this condition, and there is no cure or known cause for the development of rosacea, making it an often misunderstood condition.

Rosacea can occur in flare-ups and then go into remission. This cycle can be difficult to determine and makes it extremely problematic for patients who have it. When patients are experiencing a flare-up, they may notice bumps, swelling, redness, and even itchy, watery eyes. Patients who are most susceptible to this condition are women with fair skin, but the severity of the condition varies.

The best way to develop a practical treatment plan is to determine the triggers for flare-ups. The National Rosacea Foundation has listed some of the common conditions that can occur and result in flare-ups of rosacea:

  • Exposure to the sun
  • Emotional stress
  • Extreme temperatures (hot or cold)
  • Wind
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Excessive exercise
  • Skincare products
  • Humidity and heat
  • Spicy foods

At this time, there is no known cure for rosacea, but the condition can be controlled with oral antibiotics, topical medications, and a better understanding of the triggers. Every case is unique, and the best treatment for one patient is not always the best solution for another. Topical medications are often used while patients are in remission, and flare-ups may be controlled with oral antibiotics. When patients visit the team at Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine, we will work to develop an effective treatment plan.

The following treatments are used for rosacea:

  • Sciton BBL
  • Pharmaceutical home care system

If you live in the Cleveland, Ohio area and struggling with rosacea, now is the time to take control of your condition. Using tried and true techniques for reducing flare-ups and handling periods of remission, the team at Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine can help.
