Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that principally affects the face. Rosacea has a variety of triggers. However, it is not known what causes the condition to start in the first place.
Rosacea appears as superficial dilated capillaries causing redness and swelling mostly found on fair skin. Applying laser or IPL energy on Rosacea skin to cauterize broken capillaries, cuts off the blood supply without damaging the epidermis or surrounding tissue. Once blood is no longer supplied to the broken capillaries, it is naturally absorbed and expelled by the body.
Acne is caused by the blockage of hair follicles in the skin. There are tiny holes in the skin where hairs grow out, which are called hair follicles. Immediately beneath the skin are sebaceous glands, which are attached to the hair follicles. These glands secrete oily fluid (sebum) which helps to lubricate the skin and hair on the skin.
The formation of acne usually starts from puberty. During puberty, pregnancy and the menstrual cycle in women, an excess amount of oil is produced as a result of increased hormone levels.
During periods of increased hormone secretion, there is increased sebum production by the glands. Dead skin cells mix with sebum to form a plug that blocks the sweat pores or hair follicles. The plugged sweat pore can bulge outward when it’s located close to the skin to form a whitehead, while a blackhead can be caused by the opening of the plugged follicle
Rosacea causes skin redness, and its symptoms often begin with episodes of flushing. But other symptom such as burning and stinging sensations, pustules, visible thin blood veins can develop when the conditions getting worse. Symptoms can come and go.
Rosacea can’t always be prevented, however, triggers can be avoided where possible. It is best to speak to a highly trained Premier Laser & Skin consultant who can advise on the best course of action for you.
Symptoms include facial flushing when exposed to changes in the environment which can range from slight to intense redness. Rosacea sometimes shows as raised red bumps on the face.
