What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is more commonly known as “adult acne,” although many times, rosacea presents as persistent facial redness without pimples. The redness generally occurs on the central face (nose, cheeks, forehead, chin) of fair-skinned adults. Early cases of rosacea may present as a tendency to flush or blush easily, but can progress to persistent enlarged blood vessels on the face. Rosacea cannot be cured, but it can be effectively controlled by treatment prescribed by your dermatologist.

Treatments for Rosacea

Treatments for rosacea can include topical and/or oral antibiotics, facial sunscreen and laser surgery. At Alamance Skin Center, we use our Lumenis One laser with YAG and IPL capabilities to eliminate redness and blood vessel formation that is associated with rosacea. Consult with our dermatologists to determine which treatment option is right for you!
