Facial Redness / Facial Spider Veins
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition involving inflammation of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, or eyelids. It may appear as redness, prominent spider-like blood vessels, swelling, or skin eruptions similar to acne.
Rosacea can describe someone who blushes easily to someone who has debilitating redness and enlarged veins on the face. It represents a low level of inflammation due to an altered protein that some people have a predisposition for, especially fair skinned people. Rosacea involves enlargement of the blood vessels just under the skin. This enlargement gives the skin that red appearance.
At the Medical Spa, we believe in treating Rosacea in a multi-faceted manner. Our goal is to help you identify and avoid possible triggers, thus reducing flare-ups. Our professionals will take the time to talk to you about the benefits in following a meticulous skin care routine, highlighting items such as administering sunscreen daily. Oral anti-inflammatory or topical medications applied to your face may also control skin eruptions and are discussed. There are also light based therapies, both laser and broadband light, available to assist in the reduction of unwanted blood vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions, facial redness, and rosacea and can achieve dramatic results to improve your appearance.
