At the core of our comprehensive rosacea management, we offer a wide range of advanced medical and laser treatment solutions. Our approach includes both non-invasive treatments and targeted therapies to effectively address and manage the symptoms of rosacea, helping patients achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-like bumps. It often affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, with flare-ups triggered by environmental and lifestyle factors. While there is no cure for rosacea, medical and laser treatments can significantly improve its appearance. Laser therapy targets and reduces visible blood vessels and redness, while medical treatments help manage inflammation and prevent flare-ups. Together, these treatments offer an effective approach to controlling rosacea and restoring a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Facial Redness and Flushing (Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea):
This form of rosacea presents with persistent facial redness and visible blood vessels, often caused by dilated capillaries. Management typically involves vascular laser treatments, such as the Excel V+ laser, which targets and reduces visible blood vessels, helping to diminish redness and flushing. Additionally, topical treatments can help reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin’s barrier to prevent flare-ups
Acne-Like Bumps (Papulopustular Rosacea):
In this type of rosacea, patients experience red, swollen bumps that resemble acne, often accompanied by redness. Medical treatments, including topical or oral medications, are used to manage inflammation and reduce the appearance of these lesions. In some cases, laser therapy can also be used to improve skin texture and reduce bumps by promoting healthy skin regeneration.
Thickening of the Skin (Phymatous Rosacea):
This more advanced form of rosacea is characterized by the thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose (rhinophyma). Treatment involves a combination of laser therapy, such as CO2 laser resurfacing, to smooth and reduce the thickened tissue, and in some cases, surgical options may be considered to reshape and restore the affected areas. Early intervention with medical treatments can also help prevent the progression of skin thickening.
Our approach to targeting rosacea combines advanced medical and laser treatments to effectively address all layers of the skin. By using medical therapies to reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier, we complement these efforts with laser treatments that target redness and visible blood vessels at both the epidermal and deeper dermal levels. This multi-faceted approach helps to improve overall skin texture, reduce flushing, and normalise the skin tone. Our treatments not only diminish the visible symptoms of rosacea but also promote long-term skin health with minimal downtime, ensuring a smoother, clearer complexion with reduced inflammation.
Vascular laser is a highly effective treatment for improving rosacea by targeting the underlying blood vessels responsible for the condition:
Reduces Redness: Vascular lasers, such as the Excel V+, specifically target and shrink dilated blood vessels, reducing facial redness and flushing.
Minimizes Visible Blood Vessels: The laser energy breaks down visible capillaries, improving the appearance of broken blood vessels commonly seen in rosacea.
Non-Invasive Treatment: The procedure is non-invasive, offering a comfortable experience with minimal downtime, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Precise Targeting: The laser precisely targets affected areas without damaging surrounding tissue, ensuring safe and effective treatment of rosacea symptoms.
Stimulates Skin Regeneration: By promoting collagen production, vascular laser therapy helps improve skin texture and overall skin health over time.
Long-Lasting Results: Regular treatments can significantly reduce rosacea flare-ups and maintain clearer skin with long-lasting improvements.
we take a personalized approach when drafting combination therapy to treat rosacea. The first step involves a thorough skin assessment to determine the type and severity of rosacea. Whether you’re experiencing persistent redness, visible blood vessels, or acne-like bumps, we create a customised treatment plan that targets the root causes of your symptoms. By understanding your unique skin needs, we can blend both medical and laser therapies to effectively manage your rosacea, ensuring optimal results.
Our combination therapy integrates medical treatments, such as topical or oral medications, to reduce inflammation, control flare-ups, and strengthen the skin’s barrier. These medications are essential for managing the underlying inflammation that exacerbates rosacea, providing relief from redness and breakouts. At the same time, we incorporate advanced laser treatments, like the Excel V+ laser, to target visible blood vessels and redness at a deeper level. The laser energy is carefully calibrated to minimize discomfort while promoting clear, even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dilated blood vessels.
