Rosacea Treatment Specialist Serving Santa Cruz, Aptos CA

There is no known main cause of rosacea. Environmental factors, genetics, and an overactive immune system can all contribute to the development of rosacea. Once you have rosacea, symptoms can flare up on and off due to the following:

• Skincare products
• Haircare products
• Cosmetic products
• Exercise
• Emotions
• Sun exposure
• Harsh winds
• Blood pressure medications
• Extreme temperatures
• Alcohol
• Hot drinks
• Spicy foods

Although anyone can develop rosacea, you may be more at risk if you are a woman, have sensitive skin, have a family history of rosacea, are over 30 years old, or have a long history of smoking.

Rosacea can cause the following symptoms:

Blushing/Flushing

Blushing and flushing in the middle of the face and nose is one of the most noticeable symptoms of rosacea.

Visible Veins

If the veins in your nose or cheeks become visible, you may have rosacea.

Burning Sensation

The parts of your face affected by this skin condition can become slightly warmer and tender than the rest of your face.

Eye Problems

Eye problems including dryness, irritation, swelling, inflammation, and tenderness can begin to develop with more severe cases of rosacea.

Swollen Bumps

Swollen bumps and pimples filled with pus can be problematic for those with rosacea.

Enlarged Nose

An enlarged or swollen red nose may also be a sign of rosacea. The condition can cause thickening of the nose skin and make your nose appear bulbous.

If rosacea is left untreated, unfortunately, permanent damage to the skin can occur. Over time, rosacea almost always becomes progressively worse. This is why it’s so important to see a rosacea treatment specialist as soon as possible! Leaving rosacea untreated for a long period can lead to permanent redness, spider veins, and acne-like breakouts which can cause significant scarring.

Pacific Coast Aesthetics can treat your rosacea with microdermabrasion, laser therapy, and special skin care products.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses a small handheld device to gently exfoliate your skin. This treatment greatly reduces the redness and acne-like breakouts caused by rosacea. Your specialists can assess your skin to determine whether or not microdermabrasion could be beneficial for your skin condition.

Laser Therapy

A series of laser therapy sessions can permanently remove the signs of rosacea. Studies show that laser therapies can reduce redness, flushing, visible veins, and acne-like blemishes. Laser therapy is a safe procedure that can also brighten your skin tone and reduce signs of aging!

Skin Care Products

Talk to your specialist about skincare products designed for people with rosacea. Implementing the right skincare routine can have long-lasting benefits for blemishes, redness, and spider veins.
