Rosacea is a painful inflammatory condition that affects over 16 million Americans, with the four major subtypes of rosacea including erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, papulopustular rosacea, phymatous rosacea, and ocular rosacea (National Rosacea Society<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>American Academy of Dermatology<\/i><\/a>). Among the more difficult-to-treat subtypes is papulopustular rosacea, which can occur alongside subtype 1 rosacea and may sometimes be confused with comm \u00a0on breakouts.<\/p>\n

What are the Symptoms of Rosacea?<\/h3>\n

Rosacea is generally characterized by a persistent red, rough skin, often found on the the face. Other types of rosacea, like\u00a0Subtype 2 rosacea<\/a>\u00a0is characterized by erythema, flushing, burning\/stinging, occasional facial edema (swelling), and\u00a0acne, all\u00a0predominantly on the face. Although papulopustular rosacea may occur concurrently with breakouts, this condition lacks the comedones that typically occur with pimple outbreaks. It is not uncommon for papulopustular to occur with subtype 1 rosacea, with telangiectases being concealed by erythema, papules, and pustules (National Rosacea Society<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>American Family Physician<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n

What Causes Rosacea?<\/h3>\n

The pathogenesis of rosacea is complex and still under investigation.<\/p>\n

Recent evidence suggests that those with rosacea tend to have higher levels of certain proteins, including the serine protease kallikrein and abnormal forms of cathelicidin peptides in their skin\u00a0(Nature Medicine<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n

In the immune system,\u00a0toll-like receptor 2 expression\u00a0has been\u00a0shown to be more pronounced in those with rosacea<\/a>\u00a0(Journal of Investigative Dermatology<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n

There is also compelling evidence that Demodex mites may play a role in rosacea, with there being a high concentration of Demodex mites in the skin of those suffering from rosacea (Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology<\/i><\/a>). For example, research published in\u00a0Dermatology Online Journal<\/i><\/a>\u00a0found that the antiparasitic treatments ivermectin and praziquantel improved the severity of papulopustular rosacea, suggesting that Demodex mites be an aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

Dermatologists therefore do not yet fully understand the pathogenesis of rosacea, although there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that abnormal proteins, immunological reactions, and disturbed mite populations on the surface of the skin play a role.<\/p>\n

How Do Dermatologists Treat Rosacea?<\/h3>\n

\"laser-treatments-for-rosacea\"<\/p>\n

Although there is no permanent cure for rosacea, IPL and BBL\u00a0lasers are\u00a0an effective treatment for managing the condition. Patients can go through life with normal, healthy, even colored skin. At our\u00a0dermatology\u00a0office, we use only the finest Sciton lasers.<\/p>\n

Intense Pulsed Light\u2122 (IPL) is a gentle laser treatment that can aid rosacea\u00a0without injuring the skin\u2019s surface.\u00a0 IPL offers a gentle, long-lasting solution for the redness, breakouts,\u00a0discolorations, and discomfort of rosacea.\u00a0 It also combines dramatic improvement with virtually no down time.<\/p>\n

Broad Band Light\u2122 (BBL) is similarly gentle and is used to eliminate\u00a0the unwanted surface blood vessels that accompany rosacea.<\/p>\n

A broad-band IPL or BBL laser treatment may be able to help in as little as\u00a0five\u00a0monthly treatments.\u00a0Laser skin care treatment generally\u00a0are about\u00a0$500\/treatment. Maintenance treatments once per year are generally recommended.<\/p>\n

What Skin Care Products Can Be Used for Rosacea?<\/h3>\n

We recommend\u00a0Hylunia Ultimate Antioxidant Cream<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Hylunia Beyond Complex C<\/a>. These products hydrate, soothe, and calm sensitive, irritated, and rosacea-prone skin. The products\u00a0repair visible signs of damage to the skin resulting from sun and wind exposure, smoke and pollutants, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing.\u00a0These products together will also help to\u00a0maintain the delicate hydrophilic cutaneous layer and normalize the pH of the skin.<\/p>\n

The humectant glycerin may prove of benefit in treating the dryness and erythema associated with rosacea. For example,\u00a0glycerin is believed to improve penetration of other topically-applied ingredients<\/a>\u00a0and absorbs thoroughly into the stratum corneum, thus creating a reservoir within the stratum corneum\u2019s bilayers (Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatolog<\/i><\/a>y,\u00a0<\/i>British Journal of Dermatology<\/i><\/a>). For example, in those suffering atopic dermatitis, a 20% glycerin cream improved skin dryness and led to fewer adverse reactions than a 4% urea and 4% sodium chloride treatment (Acta Dermato-Venereologica<\/i><\/a>). Similarly, topical treatments containing between 1% – 10% glycerin hydrated skin which had been damaged by a 10% sodium lauryl sulphate solution (Archives of Dermatological Research<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/b>In Summary<\/h3>\n

Rosacea is characterized by flushing, erythema, burning\/stinging, and sometimes acne, and occasionally instances of\u00a0broken blood vessels. While its exact pathogenesis is still under investigation, we have had great success in using IPL and BBL laser treatments to combat rosacea symptoms.\u00a0Recent research has also spotlighted several skin care ingredients which can greatly alleviate the pain and symptoms associated with rosacea,\u00a0such as glycerin, antioxidants, and green tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
