Rosacea & Redness

What is Rosacea?

When it comes to your complexion, most people agree – there is nearly nothing nicer than a rosy glow. Not so when you’re dealing with rosacea – a chronic skin condition that mainly impacts areas of the face, such as the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Though there is no known cure for rosacea, an experienced, professional skin specialist can help you to treat and manage its effects for more beautiful skin.

Redness or an irritation of the skin can be caused by a number of conditions. The two most common are Poikiloderma and Rosacea.

Frequently asked questions

Redness or an irritation of the skin can be caused by a number of conditions. The two most common are Poikiloderma and Rosacea.

POIKILODERMA AND ROSACEA

Poikiloderma is a benign skin condition found along the sides of the neck, and mainly affects women. Causes are unknown, but contributing factors include:

  • sun exposure
  • fair skin
  • hormonal factors
  • reactions to certain cosmetics and toiletries, especially perfumes

 

Rosacea, on the other hand, is a skin condition that results in redness of the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. It is common among people between the ages of 30-50 and those with fair skin. Rosacea can lead to:

 

  • facial redness
  • visible, broken blood vessels
  • sensitive, swollen, or dry skin
  • a burning or stinging sensation
  • acne and oily skin
  • bumpy, thickened skin

According to experts, rosacea is likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as a compromised immune system, possessing fair or light skin, a family history of rosacea, or suffering too much exposure to sunlight. In any case, the first signs of rosacea may be little more than a subtle, occasional blushing or redness of the skin. Over time, however, these symptoms can become more persistent and pronounced. Bumps, pimples and enlarged blood vessels may appear, giving skin a rough, uneven look. At times, though very rarely, symptoms may be severe enough that the skin tissue of the nose becomes thick, swollen and bumpy – this form of rosacea, called rhinophyma, mainly affects men.

A consultation with an experienced, professional skin specialist will determine which of the following types of rosacea you possess, and what the best course of treatment will be:

  • Mild (erythematotelangiectatic): Characterized by facial flushing and redness, which may only be present at times. You may also experience some swelling, burning and stinging, roughness and visible red blood vessels.
  • Moderate (papulopustular): This more-advanced form of rosacea is marked by persistent redness and pimple-like bumps that may be mistaken for acne, as well as burning and stinging.
  • Severe (phymatous): As mentioned above, rosacea may affect the nose, causing the skin tissue to thicken and become bumpy. This severe form of rosacea is called rhinophyma, and most often occurs when the condition is left untreated.

Though it can’t be completely cured, modern medical approaches have, in recent years, helped rosacea patients see tremendous improvement in their skins appearance. The best success is usually achieved through a comprehensive approach that includes suppression and prevention, correction, and ongoing (lifelong) maintenance and management:

  • Avoiding Triggers: The main stay of treating rosacea is the avoidance of trigger factors such as foods, stress, UV and products that can irritate your skin
  • Suppression and prevention The second tier is to use anti-inflammatory creams. SkinCeuticals provides and excellent range of products for rosacea prone skin. In some cases, anti-inflammatory prescription medication maybe required. Good results can be achieved with medical grade skin care products to control oil production which triggers and aggravates rosacea.
  • Correction: The third method is with laser or BBL – this is the mainstay of rosacea management.  Vascular laser treatment can help to remove visible blood vessels or reduce extensive redness by emitting wavelengths of light that target tiny blood vessels just under the skin. Heat from the laser’s energy builds in the vessels, causing them to disintegrate. Diagnosis via an in-depth skin analysis with our experienced medical laser aesthetician is essential to determining whether use of this powerful tool – or any other type of laser – will be beneficial

 

No, laser or BBL plays an important role in the treatment of rosacea by decreasing redness, capillaries, excessive tissue and inflammation. It is only a part of the big picture of rosacea management. Other things to consider include

  • A customised skin care regime
  • Avoidance of flare factors
  • The correct make up
  • Anti-inflammatory tablets and creams for flare ups
  • Management of stress levels

 

Methods we use to treat

The AFA peel is a type of chemical peel that has become an essential part of many men and women’s skincare regimen. AFA stands for Amino acid Filaggrin. It is an antioxidant that works to retain the moisture in your skin, leaving it looking fresh, renewed, and hydrated. AFA peels are also acidic. They work as effective exfoliants yet cause minimal irritation to the skin because they are made from the same type of amino acids found in the body. The AFA peel is actually one of the few chemical peels that do not make your skin sun-sensitive, making it the perfect option for all skin types.
Broadband light technology generates broad-spectrum light waves that penetrate deeply into the lower layers of your skin. The light is changed to heat energy as it reaches beneath the surface of the skin. As this special type of light saturates the epidermis, chemicals in your skin change light energy to beneficial heat energy that immediately begins repairing damaged skin by stimulating collagen production. Collagen is a protein-rich, structural compound necessary for supporting all your body’s tissues. It is also essential for providing firmness, suppleness and strength to your facial skin. Skin naturally produces less and less collagen as we age, a major contributing factor to wrinkling, sagging, dryness, and unattractive spider veins.
Every once in a while a treatment is introduced that takes us one step closer to the fountain of youth. The Forever Young BBL Photo-Facial is a big step in that direction and is one of the most advanced techniques available today to slow down, treat and reverse damaged and aged facial and non-facial skin.  This is the most effective and advanced form of photo-facial and photo-rejuvenation currently available due to the broadband light technology. The Forever Young BBL encompasses all of the advantages of the original BBL Photo-Facial procedure along with the newly recognized benefit of delaying skin aging. The treatment targets hyperpigmentation, sun damage, broken capillaries and diffused redness in the skin all while stimulating collagen. Forever Young BBL clients have seen great results on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and other body parts.
The key to optimal skin health is a skincare professional. By combining a customized at-home regimen with powerful in-office treatments and targeted skincare solutions, the result is healthier skin with visible improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of premature aging. At LSG we offer SkinCeuticals skincare products. SkinCeuticals is an advanced clinical skincare line that offers comprehensive formulas to correct signs of aging, promote healthy skin, and prevent skin damage. Ranging from anti-aging moisturizers and eye creams to acne cleansers, vitamin C serums, and retinol products, our advanced skincare products are backed by science. Physicians and skincare professionals define cosmeceuticals as products on the cutting-edge between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Active ingredients in cosmeceuticals are expected to be clinically proven to enhance skincare efficacy.
Our Celluma Low-Level Light Therapy is the only all-in-one low-level light therapy device designed to manage a variety of pain and skin conditions. Cleared by the FDA for pain management and skin care, Celluma uses light energy to improve cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissue cells. Celluma Low-Level Light Therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment, which requires no recovery time, and can be used on all skin types. In just minutes a day, you can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while experiencing an improvement in skin texture, quality and smoothness. Using wavelengths that are scientifically proven to stimulate fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin.
“You look tired” – the three words none of us like to hear! When we are not well-rested it shows. A good night’s sleep is also incredibly important to our overall health and well-being. A number of factors contribute to a great sleep and we have found one of them. Introducing enVy: the pillow that puts the ‘beauty’ in ‘beauty sleep’. While offering therapeutic neck support, it also prevents wrinkles and sleep lines. Over time, facial wrinkles can form from the way we sleep with our face against our pillow; the opposite of beauty sleep.
DMK believes in Natural, Non-Invasive and Pain Free solutions to skin conditions and age management. DMK formulations are botanical based & pharmaceutical grade because this ensures that our product contains enough of an ingredient to experience significant visible results. Pharmaceutical grade means less than 0.1% impurities in DMK formulations. Great skin doesn't happen with one product or one treatment but if your consistent with your routine and realistic about your expectations DMK can really make a difference. DMK Enzyme Therapy is a hard setting face and body mask that is applied from the décolletage, up the neck and over the face. The mask contains living enzymes that stimulate our own natural enzymes to speed up cellular processes within the skin.
Some of the many benefits of receiving this treatment deal with stimulating collagen production through the increase in microcir­culation. This then helps to detox and rejuvenate the skin. Furthering the treatment's anti-aging benefits, cryo facials are said to restore firmness to the skin and will even cause the skin to feel tighter right after the treatment. In rejuvenating the skin, the cryo facial also restores radiance, soothes inflammation and improves skin texture and tone. This treatment can even go as far as to help clients who are suffering from more severe skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our Organic facial is the preferred and the safest way to rejuvenate the skin. Organic is the “true” natural, it means the products aren’t made with synthetic chemicals, preservatives, fragrances, colors or petroleum-based ingredients. The Casmara laboratory has developed the ultimate cosmetic line to prevent the passage of time from being reflected in your skin. High-technology cosmetics which will renew your skin smoothing wrinkles and expression lines. High technology of Casmara cosmetics formulated with seaweed extraits that provides a powerfull hydrating effect, along with diverse active ingredientes wich are different on every mask. Therefore, we offer a varied collection that meets the needs of every type of skin.
A medical grade facial uses both medicinal and natural corrective measures to help erase the signs of stress your face is showing. These facials target the root cause of your skin problems, whether it be the need to remove toxins with powerful antioxidants or the need to counter years of UV ray exposure. Our patients see a tremendous improvement in their conditions because of the way we target the underlying cause of their problems. Our  facials are results-driven, meaning we create a unique facial for each client based on their specific skin needs and goals. The experience is very relaxing, but you’ll notice real changes in your skin due to the active ingredients and solutions used in our treatments.  That why we use the term “Medi-Facial” – it’s simply an enhanced facial geared towards achieving specific results.
The Intraceuticals treatment, adored by Victoria’s Secret models, pop queen Madonna and other Hollywood stars, is a hyperbaric oxygen system. Due to the Intraceuticals system and use of a high-pressure jet of oxygen, the skin is enriched with hyaluronic acid and serum, which intensely moisturises the skin and provides it with vitally necessary materials, maintaining the skin moisture and providing a clear glowing effect immediately after the procedure! Intraceuticals is the number one treatment from the world’s most famous beauty therapists! Intraceuticals has been awarded the Prix H. Pierantoni pour l’innovation award for outstanding innovation in the field of cosmetology!

Posted @withregram • @dr.subbio 💉 first, if you find this message, educational, interesting, or useful, please consider tagging or sharing with others who may find it interesting as well. I put more time into this video because I find this concept incredibly important. THIS is why we have seen more and more people over the past decade looking distorted, or disfigured, from overfilled faces. One particular industry behemoth pharm company had inexhaustibly been pushing this idea that fillers are the answer to everything. That fillers can lift. That fillers can reverse aging. That the main pathology behind an aging face is fat atrophy. Our aesthetic education industry and KOLs/thought leaders have failed us as well. Instead of focusing on basic fundamentals of how tissues function in the real world, we instead get educators trying to sound science-y by focusing on nonsense like “ligamentous strain” or “volumetric foundational restoration” or other made-up nonsense. It doesn’t take Stephen Hawking to realize that when patients come in asking for rejuvenation, they take their finger and pull their cheek up. They DONT puff out their cheeks 💨 💨 Throwing more and more volume at an aging face is NOT going to solve the problem. Thank goodness the tide is starting to turn and more and more patients and injectors alike are returning to some semblance of sanity. Spread the word 🧠

It is also used to improve scars, treat moles, skin tags and other unwanted superficial skin lesions.

Laser Spa Group leads the way by offering the new leading edge Thermage CPT™ and Total Tip technology. The CPT™ (Comfort Pulse Technology) provides more results and increased comfort all in a shorter period of time, as compared to the former Thermage technology. ThermageCPT™ procedures can help smooth, tighten and contour your skin for an overall younger looking appearance in a single treatment without surgery or injections and with no downtime. With Thermage™ many patients have seen smoother, tighter skin with less sagging, redefined contours of the jawline and neck and softening of wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead. Thermage™ Face procedure works on all skin types and colours Thermage is a proven radiofrequency treatment that transforms skin by working below the surface and addresses a wide range of surface imperfections that result from age and environmental factors. Thermage is a patented mono-polar radiofrequency technology which means it’s energy is focussed directly beneath the skins surface smoothing out wrinkles, better defining facial features around the eyes, jaw and neckline, and even the smoothing and toning of laxity on the body. Thermage radiofrequency energy works with your body, remodeling your collagen to help your skin get that smooth feel and youthful look you want. Open your eyes to Thermage for eyelids—if you suffer from “tired eyes” or hooded eyes and would like to improve their appearance, Thermage Eyes can help restore a youthful appearance by making the eyes look more open and alert. The treatment works by heating the collagen-rich layers of skin, helping to rebuild supportive stores and soften lines and wrinkles surrounding the eye. Though it takes 3 to 6 months to fully realize the results, patients typically notice a tightened texture and appearance to the skin around the eyes immediately afterwards.
