What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people around the world. If you have any of these things, you may have rosacea:

• persistent redness on your face, particularly on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin
• visible blood vessels on your face (spider veins)
• pimples
• rough skin texture
• red, watery eyes that exist even when not suffering from allergies

The cause of rosacea is unknown but there are factors that can trigger flareups. These include spicy food, alcohol, hot and cold temperatures, stress and the wind. While it cannot be cured, the visible signs of rosacea can be controlled with the right medical treatment.

How does photofacial IPL work to fight rosacea?

Fotofacial IPL skin rejuvenation, or photofacial rejuvenation, takes advantage of the most advanced laser technology currently available, using groundbreaking elōs technology to combine bipolar radio frequency (RF) and intense pulsed light (IPL) energy together in a synergetic form of skin treatment. The fotofacial procedure involves your medical aesthetician targeting areas affected by rosacea with concentrated energy in order to remove damaged tissue responsible for creating discolouration and stimulate the natural processes that lead to healthy, uniformly toned and textured skin.

You don’t have to worry about pain, safety or a long recovery with fotoFacial; the intense concentration of energy and precise targeting made available through elōs treats only the area affected by rosacea, without causing unnecessary harm to the surrounding skin. This helps to minimize procedural discomfort while allowing for faster recovery than with other technologies. fotofacial IPL works to treat your rosacea quickly, easily and without causing you unnecessary discomfort.

If you struggle with rosacea and are looking for a solution, then fotofacial IPL skin rejuvenation may be the answer.
