What is Rosacea
Dark circles under your eyes can be a result of underlying medical conditions. For example, during an allergic reaction to allergens, the body releases histamines, which not only lead to reddening of skin and itchiness but also cause the dilation of blood vessels. The dilation of blood vessels under your eyelids causes dark circles. Other medical conditions that contribute to the formation of dark circles include insomnia, malnutrition, asthma, contact dermatitis, eczema, anemia, liver disease, and dehydration.
Causes Of Rosacea
Rosacea usually runs in the family. If a member or members of your family are affected by rosacea, there’s a high chance that you’ll be affected as well.
The reddish characteristic of Rosacea is associated with problems with blood vessels. They increase in size which makes blood flow closer to the skin’s surface causing redness.
A microbial organism, referred to as Demodex, normally inhabit the human hair follicles. When one is affected by rosacea, these microorganisms move and inhabit the affected areas which trigger an immune response of helper T-cells. This leads to inflammation.
That is believed to be associated with Rosacea is Helicobacter pylori which. It increases the amount of gastric acid which might lead to skin flushing.
Exposure to severe climates, such as solar radiation, destroys the cutaneous blood vessels & connective tissue. This is why Rosacea tends to affect the face and flares up during sunny weather.
Women have a higher chance of getting affected by rosacea than men.
If you have ever suffered severe acne, you’re more predisposed to suffering from Rosacea.
Methods Of Rosacea Treatment
Rosacea is not only an esthetically unsuitable condition but a painful and uncomfortable one if left untreated for long. At Lumiskins, we provide you with advanced treatment options that keep your condition in check. Our Botox Vaughan is successful because of our team of expert professionals working together for the most satisfying & safe results. Our treatment methods include:
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy
IPL utilizes multichromatic light to breakdown damaged tissue which induces rejuvenation. In Rosacea treatment, IPL targets hemoglobin, blood vessels, connective tissue, and other damaged tissue. It breaks down the damaged tissue which is then eliminated by the lymphatic system. The targeted tissue revitalizes reducing the appearance of Rosacea.
Laser treatment
Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure for Rosacea treatment. It utilizes specific wavelengths of light to breakdown damaged tissue which stimulates rejuvenation. In Rosacea, it’s used to induce the healing of connective tissue by stimulating the production of collagen. This restores the epidermal barrier. It also leads to the reduction in the size of the dilated blood vessels with minor to null damage to the nearby tissue. This reduces the appearance of Rosacea, including the reddish and bumpy features.
Our Treatment Procedure
Pre-Treatment
On the day of your set Appointment with our cosmetologist, a thorough examination is conducted to understand the severity of your Rosacea. This helps our specialists to come up with treatment options which are then laid out for you.
Treatment
One session of Rosacea laser/IPL therapy takes about one hour. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may require four to eight Rosacea treatment sessions in a period of twelve to fifteen weeks to attain optimal results. The treatments are performed under a topical anesthetic cream to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment sessions.
Post-treatment
After the treatment sessions, one may experience pink flushes on the treated areas which fade away after a few hours. The treatment areas may also appear darker but the skin returns to normal after a couple of days. After each treatment session, one should avoid exposure to sunlight and keep the treated areas moisturized. We provide our clients with a post-treatment guide to maintain the acquired results and decrease the chances of rosacea occurring. For example, we point out the trigger factors and encourage our patients to avoid them if possible.
Maintenance Program
Rosacea is a chronic condition that has no cure. It necessitates follow-up or maintenance treatments to ensure that it doesn’t recur. The maintenance program entails one Rosacea treatment session every two to four months.
