Rosacea Treatments in Hartford

rosacea treatment hartford, ct

Rosacea is a common skin condition characterized by redness of the face. There is no known cause for rosacea. In its earliest stages the face is red and fine blood vessels can be seen in the skin. In more severe cases bumps, pustules and thickening of the skin can be seen.  Even your eyes can be involved. Thankfully we offer rosacea treatments in Hartford at Vivesse Med Spa.

Rosacea tends to come in flares and then subside. But if you don’t seek treatment, changes to your face can become permanent. Most people seek treatment because of the appearance, but don’t be that person who figures that it will go away on its own. You’re the kind of person for whom it can become permanent.

Some things that often trigger rosacea are:

  • Sunlight
  • Hot or cold temperatures
  • Wind
  • Stress
  • Hot baths
  • Hot or spicy foods or drinks
  • Alcohol
  • Intense exercise
  • Medicines such as blood pressure drugs or steroids you put on your skin

At Vivesse Med Spa in Broomfield, CT we are not dermatologists and we strongly suggest that you see a skin doctor. There are oral medications that can be used as well as creams and other topical treatments. We will not prescribe medications for your rosacea and we certainly won’t perform surgery in extreme cases – but we do offer rosacea treament.

Rosacea Treatment

Many people look for Rosacea laser treatment. Here at Vivesse, we have found that lasers can actually worsen the rosacea.

However, we do have technologies for rosacea treatment that can alleviate the redness and broken blood vessels. These are:

  • IPL Photofacial (Intense Pulsed Light) – An intense light is produced that is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the face. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by and heats the areas of redness causing them to disappear.
  • Skin care – Appropriate skin care can help greatly with the redness and flushing. Our medical aesthetician is an expert in skin care and can help devise the right regimen for you.

We want to re-emphasize that if you have persistent rosacea you should be under a dermatologist’s care. We can help you with our cutting-edge technologies in conjunction with a good medical regimen.  Nothing can permanently cure rosacea but we can help get your skin back to looking normal.
