What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by facial redness and flushing and sometimes, acne-like bumps. However, it can look different based on the cause of the flare-up and your individual skin condition. Symptoms can include:
- Redness & Flushing: Over time, this can happen for longer periods and may become chronic if not treated.
- Broken Veins: Small spider veins can appear, most commonly on the nose and cheeks.
- Skin Bumps: These may appear similar to acne and can contain pus. They are commonly on the face but may appear on the chest and back.
- Irritated Eyes: Dry or swollen eyes can occur due to blocked oil glands.
- Nose Thickening: Over time, the nose’s skin may thicken, leading to an enlarged nose called rhinophyma.
Dermatologist-Approved Rosacea Treatment
Once you are diagnosed with rosacea, we can explore several treatment options. Our focus with treatment is to control the visible signs of rosacea while also improving your comfort. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Aivaz has worked with numerous rosacea patients, building treatment plans that deliver consistent, satisfying results. Treatments are adapted based on your specific symptoms.
Our Rosacea Treatment Options
- Medical Cream and/or Oral Medication: Take-home treatments allow you to manage your symptoms outside the office. Different creams may be prescribed for reducing symptoms versus preventing symptom recurrence.
- Laser Therapy: Lasers are effective for addressing flushing or redness caused by blood vessels. The laser collapses these vessels so that they no longer contribute to facial redness.
- Skin Care & Lifestyle Counseling: Environmental factors and skin hygiene also play significant roles in rosacea flare-ups. Dr. Aivaz provides in-depth counseling for patients to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to minimize flare-ups.
