Rosacea Treatment in Oakville, Ontario
Concern Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most commonly affects the central face. An enlargement of blood vessels under the epidermis causes inflammation of the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. If not treated, rosacea can develop from slight flushing and redness to the appearance of small blood vessels, all the way to lumpy, mottled skin. It can even present as thickened, swollen, and bumpy skin on the nose called rhinophyma.
Lifestyle changes such as avoiding the sun, using sunscreen, reducing stress and limiting spicy foods can help in the fight against a bright red complexion, red blotches, and an uneven skin tone. Many topical skin care products will also calm, sooth, and treat the inflammation and redness associated with rosacea.
At ICLS, treatment of rosacea and redness concerns involves laser technologies precise enough to affect the right kinds of tissue at the right depths in order to provide high levels of safety for the patient.
