Rosacea is a chronic skin condition often confused with acne, but it presents in different ways—commonly with redness across the cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose, accompanied by bumps, visible blood vessels, and occasionally eye irritation. If left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time and may lead to persistent swelling and discomfort.
Rosacea can stem from a mix of genetic, environmental, and microbial factors. Research suggests that:
Limiting alcohol, spicy foods, chocolate, and certain shellfish may help manage flare-ups. These foods have been associated with triggering inflammation in sensitive individuals.
Doctors may prescribe topical or oral treatments such as:
Always consult a licensed medical practitioner for diagnosis and personalised treatment recommendations.
For patients with visible capillaries or persistent redness, vascular lasers may be recommended. These treatments deliver targeted energy to reduce the appearance of blood vessels under the skin, helping to improve overall tone and redness.
Types of laser-based therapy include:
These lasers are typically selected based on their ability to target vascular conditions. Yellow light lasers, in particular, may be considered as they emit wavelengths that can be absorbed by blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue.
Outcomes vary based on individual skin types and severity of rosacea. Patients typically undergo several sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Any aesthetic-based treatment should be discussed with a licensed practitioner to determine suitability and expected results.
Rosacea is manageable with the right combination of trigger avoidance, gentle skincare, and professional treatment. While there is no cure, many patients can achieve significant improvements with consistent care. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs.
