Facial redness and rosacea | ERA ESTHETIC

Couperose, rosacea, redness of the face

Couperose (rosacea) is a common chronic inflammatory disease, progressive, with external manifestations on the face, causing psychological discomfort, which is characterized by exacerbations and remissions. Most often occurs after 30 years, while the person himself often does not suspect the presence of a disease requiring treatment. In the initial stages, rosacea appears as redness of the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Sometimes it appears on the forehead, chest, ears, or scalp. Over time, the redness becomes more intense, the blood vessels of the face appear and become noticeable. If untreated, couperosis gradually progresses and becomes difficult to control. Under the influence of provoking factors, couperose nodules, acne, pustules appear, in some cases, due to the growth of fatty glands and connective tissue, an uneven, reddish surface of the nose is formed.

Treatment of couperose (rosacea) and redness of the face with the new pulsed liquid dye laser VBeam Perfecta

It is very important to diagnose rosacea and start its treatment. Drug treatment is necessary to control the disease and reduce inflammation, but it has no significant effect on reddening of the skin or dilated blood vessels. For this, a new pulsed liquid dye laser VBeam Perfecta is used, which significantly reduces and eliminates skin redness caused by rosacea.

This laser is considered the most effective and is the gold standard in the treatment of persistent or intermittent facial redness, dilated capillaries and other blood vessel formations. The goal of the VBeam Perfecta laser is both visible blood vessels and the smallest dilated capillaries that cause the spread of redness and the sensation of “heat” characteristic of rosacea. It eliminates extensive superficial redness of the skin and the network of blood vessels associated with it, reduces inflammation in the event of inflammatory processes characteristic of a particular stage of rosacea. This laser stimulates collagen synthesis. Thus, the further progression of the disease is suspended, which is very important for rosacea. The VBeam Perfecta laser also significantly improves skin texture and appearance. The procedures performed using this laser are rightly called the treatment of root causes.

The number of procedures depends on the severity of the damage caused by the disease. Dilated capillaries, slight redness are eliminated after 1-2 procedures. A sharp decrease in extensive redness or its complete disappearance with pronounced rosacea is achieved in 2-4 procedures, after each of which the skin condition improves. However, such laser procedures can only be performed by certified doctors.

Read more about the removal of capillaries, redness of the face with the new vascular laser VBeam Perfecta, read Removal of capillaries with a laser.

Treatment of rosacea and facial redness with Omnilux

Couperosis and facial redness in the inflammatory stage (with the appearance of pustules, nodules, also called rosacea) is successfully treated with Omnilux revive light therapy. Omnilux revive effectively reduces facial redness and improves the appearance of the skin. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect, strengthens collagen, connective tissue and immune function of the skin, which is very important in the treatment of rosacea, as it reduces the likelihood of a recurrence of the disease.

How many Omnilux red treatments are required for rosacea?

How is Omnilux rosacea treated?

Facial Redness Treatment with Laser and Intense Pulsed Light

What are the benefits of Facial Redness Treatment with Laser and IPL?

• The combination of the latest laser technology and intense pulsed light makes these advantages clear:
• Excellent and stable treatment results – in combination with a variety of laser technologies and intense pulsed light, we get excellent results, even in very difficult cases;
• Mild treatment – usually does not require anesthesia;
• Easy treatment – minimal discoloration or swelling after treatment, minimal post-treatment care;
• Convenient – outpatient treatment, and lasts only a few minutes.

What is facial redness?

Redness on the face results from the concentration of microscopic blood vessels in the skin. Usually there are many more of them, they are very small, not visible to the naked eye, and sometimes even with the help of special optics. Most often, we see only bright red skin, and we do not see individual blood vessels.
Redness can be bright, both on the whole face and in some of its places: around the nose, on the cheeks.

How do the advanced treatments used in our GK Clinic work?

Modern new technologies of pulsed light and lasers act on each, even the smallest diameter, blood vessel with a particularly precise amount of energy of a certain power, having a minimal effect on the surrounding skin. During this treatment, light or laser energy is delivered directly to the selected capillary or blood vessel using a special device. This energy – heat – is absorbed by the blood vessels, and then they stick together irreversibly. The combination of different laser technologies and intense pulsed light affects blood vessels of different diameters, at different depths of the skin, as a result of which even very complex cases that were previously considered incurable can be treated.

Why does facial redness occur?

We do not know all the causes, but most often it is influenced by heredity, oral contraceptives, hormone therapy, sunbathing and the aging process. It may also be associated with some other skin conditions.

Is this treatment right for you?

Before starting treatment at our GK Clinic, a specialist using special optics will examine and evaluate your facial redness, study your medical history. We will need to determine your skin type, whether you have had any skin diseases before, and how you were treated. We will also discuss your current condition, future treatment and expected outcome.
In each individual case, the specialist will draw up and select the most suitable treatment plan for you and giving the greatest effect.

How are laser and IPL treatments carried out?

Treatment may vary depending on the characteristics of facial redness, its location and distribution. The doctor, using a special nozzle of the device, will direct a beam of laser or IPL light to the area of ​​redness. In many cases, pain relief treatment is not necessary. Some patients experience a slight tingling or heat during treatment.

How is the recovery going, is special care needed?

There will be minimal discomfort after the procedure. How you will look after the procedure depends on what kind of treatment your doctor chooses. After treatment with some lasers or pulsed light systems, there may be a slight swelling, redness, which usually disappears after a few hours.
Your doctor will ask you to apply a special ointment to the treated area, avoid sunlight and use sunscreen. In the treatment of blood vessel formations, the final results of the treatment are visible immediately or after 10-14 days.
