Rosacea is a common skin concern that affects many individuals, characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes, small, red bumps. The cause of rosacea is not yet fully understood, but it is thought to be a result of a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. If you’re battling rosacea, know that you’re not alone, and there are effective strategies to manage and reduce its appearance. Here are some tips to help you soothe your skin and minimize the effects of rosacea!
Stay Cool
Heat can trigger rosacea flares. Try to stay cool by avoiding showers and baths that are too hot, spicy foods, and direct sunlight. When exercising, opt for cooler times of the day or air-conditioned environments.
Consider Professional Services
In some cases, professional treatments may be necessary to manage rosacea effectively. One of our favorite and most effective treatments for rosacea is BBL Hero. BBL distinguishes itself from other IPL systems with quadruple the speed, triple the peak power, and double the cooling efficiency, ensuring quick, effective, and comfortable sessions. It improves the appearance of rosacea by heating and gradually removing broken capillaries. Simultaneously, the light energy reduces unwanted pigmentation and promotes collagen production, leading to a healthier and more uniform skin tone.
Another favorite device for treating rosacea is ClearSilk. During the treatment, ClearSilk deposits heat deep beneath the skin's surface, stimulating fibroblast activity and the body's natural repair process for a healthier, more vibrant complexion and reducing the appearance of redness and rosacea. Unlike BBL, ClearSilk is safe to receive all year long!
