What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a non-contagious skin condition common in women and people with fair skin. It is reddened skin on the face and sometimes the torso that comes and goes, eventually becoming more permanent, affecting your outward appearance. There are four subtypes that each come with their own set of symptoms.
- Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea – redness accompanied by small, red, broken blood vessels on the skin.
- Papulopustular rosacea – redness with swelling and acne breakouts
- Phymatous rosacea – thickened skin with a rough texture
Rosacea is not life-threatening, but if it develops into keratitis, a condition affecting the corneas, you will need medical intervention.
The cause of rosacea is unknown, but it can be aggravated or triggered if you:
- Eat too much spicy food or cheese.
- Consume too much caffeine.
- Participate in aerobic exercise.
Laser Treatment for Rosacea
Laser or light treatments reduce or remove the visibility of the tiny, red blood vessels that stain the skin. Laser resurfacing treatments may be used to treat thickened skin caused by rosacea. Luckily, Dr. Narra at Narra Dermatology and Aesthetics, serving Issaquah, WA, is available with laser rosacea treatment.
Several types of laser treatments are available to treat rosacea, and your dermatologist will recommend a treatment plan that may be integrative, combining laser treatment sessions with medications for maximum efficacy based on their assessment of your skin.
Rosacea is very noticeable, so patients often struggle with self-esteem issues. Early laser treatments have been very successful in reducing redness which means that your skin will be clear and closer to your original skin tone, thus contributing to the improvement of your overall quality of life and mental health. The results from laser treatments may last several years before you will require treatment again.
Laser treatments should only be administered by properly trained health professionals with experience in these techniques and technology. The skin on the face is very delicate and needs to be handled with care.
