Facts About Rosacea
Rosacea is a common face rash of adults. It is
an inflammatory disease of the skin, which is
estimated to affect over 45 million people worldwide.
Rosacea begins with people in their 30’s
and may last into late middle age (around age
60). Rosacea is about 3 times more common in females
and may seem to be associated with peri-menopause
in some cases. It is also more common in fair-skinned
people of Celtic or Scandinavian decent.
Rosacea begins with flushing or blushing of the
skin – often triggered by exposure to sunlight,
temperature extremes, spicy foods, beverages containing
caffeine, hot beverages/soups, or alcohol. This
unsightly skin blemish usually occurs on the face
and across the cheeks, nose, or forehead. Rosacea
can also appear on the neck & chest, but not
as often as it appears on the face. People who
suffer from this skin condition offer experience
the following signs of Rosacea:

PL treatments target the tiny blood vessels that
cause facial flushing seen in rosacea. IPL (Intensed
Pulsed Light) is nonablative, meaning that it does
not damage the surface of the skin, gradually and
naturally restoring a smooth even surface to your
face, hands and chest. The IPL hand piece delivers
high intensity pulses of broadband light which targets
the red flushing of the skin. The thermal effect
of IPL also causes production of new collagen. |
