Rosacea Treatment: Regain Your Skin's Clarity
At Balanced Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics in Newport Beach, our board-certified dermatologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of rosacea, helping you manage your symptoms and regain your skin's natural beauty. If you struggle with persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, or acne-like bumps, our skilled team offers advanced solutions to help you achieve clearer, more comfortable skin.
Understanding Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing symptoms such as:
- Persistent redness or flushing
- Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Acne-like bumps or pimples
- Burning or stinging sensations
- Dry, rough, or scaly skin
- Eye irritation (ocular rosacea)
While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, several factors can trigger or worsen symptoms, including sun exposure, stress, hot or spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skincare products. Rosacea can affect anyone but is most common in middle-aged women with fair skin.
If left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time, leading to more persistent redness, inflammation, and even skin thickening (rhinophyma). Seeking early diagnosis and treatment from a board-certified dermatologist is essential for managing symptoms and preventing progression.
Rosacea Treatment Options
At Balanced Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics, we offer a range of advanced treatment options for rosacea, tailored to your individual needs and the severity of your symptoms. These treatments include:
Topical Medications
We may prescribe topical creams, gels, or lotions containing ingredients like metronidazole, azelaic acid, or ivermectin to reduce inflammation, redness, and bumps. These medications work by killing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and constricting blood vessels.
Oral Medications
For more severe cases of rosacea, oral antibiotics like doxycycline or minocycline may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and control symptoms. Low-dose oral isotretinoin may also be used for severe, treatment-resistant rosacea.
Laser and Light Therapies
Our state-of-the-art laser and light treatments can effectively target visible blood vessels and reduce overall redness and inflammation. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) treatments are non-invasive options that can provide significant improvement in rosacea symptoms with minimal downtime.
Skincare Recommendations
We will provide personalized skincare recommendations to help you manage your rosacea and maintain your results. This may include gentle, non-irritating cleansers and moisturizers, sun protection, and avoiding known triggers. We may also recommend specific skincare products designed for rosacea-prone skin.
Our experienced dermatologists will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs, skin type, and desired results.
Lifestyle Changes for Managing Rosacea
In addition to professional treatments, making certain lifestyle changes can help you better manage your rosacea and reduce flare-ups. We recommend:
- Identifying and avoiding your personal triggers
- Protecting your skin from the sun with broad-spectrum sunscreen and protective clothing
- Using gentle, fragrance-free skincare products
- Practicing stress-reduction techniques like meditation or deep breathing
- Avoiding hot beverages and spicy foods
- Keeping a rosacea diary to track your triggers and symptoms
Our team will work with you to develop a comprehensive rosacea management plan, combining in-office treatments with at-home care to help you achieve and maintain your best skin.
