Rosacea treatments and options for Charlotte, NC residents

Skin cancer

Rosacea affects many people in Charlotte, NC, and across the country. In fact, nearly 16 million Americans have it. You may even know someone who has it and not even realize that is what it is. Though this skin condition can leave people feeling self-conscious about the appearance, and even impact their eyesight, patients don’t have to just deal with it. Luckily, there are options to manage it and help you look your best again.

Your dermatologist can diagnose rosacea. If you notice redness on your face that just doesn’t go away or any of the other signs of rosacea, make an appointment with your dermatologist. They will perform an exam to not only diagnose it but develop a plan to treat and manage symptoms as well.

Treatment options

There are many treatment options available to help you manage your rosacea symptoms.

  1. Prescription medications. Available in both pill and topical forms, these can help reduce redness in the face. If you have acne-like bumps as part of your rosacea, topicals and medications can help manage these.
  2. Laser and light therapies. Treatments such as BBL and microdermabrasion can also improve signs of rosacea. These treatments help decrease facial redness and the appearance of blood vessels in the face. You’ll likely need continued treatments to give you the best results and to maintain them.
  3. If your rosacea has caused skin thickening, surgical therapy may be an option for you as well. This uses a carbon dioxide laser to improve your appearance.

When you meet with your dermatologist, they will determine the best treatment option for you and discuss it with you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions at that appointment, or later as they come to you.

Triggers

Rosacea can also be triggered by many factors such as drinking alcohol, exposure to heat or sun, and even stress. Your doctor may recommend you keep a journal to help identify your triggers so you can avoid them. They can also help you create a skin care routine that will soothe your skin and not irritate it.
