As we step into April, we also step into a month dedicated to spreading awareness about a common yet often misunderstood skin condition - Rosacea. At Clinique K, your skin health is our top priority, and we're committed to providing you with the care and knowledge you need to navigate this condition.
Rosacea often manifests as persistent redness, primarily on the central parts of the face, such as the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin.
Patients notice:
Rosacea triggers can vary widely from person to person. Some of the more common triggers include:
Beyond neurovascular and immune system factors, a microscopic mite called Demodex folliculorum has been considered a potential contributor to rosacea. This mite is a normal inhabitant of human skin but is substantially more abundant in the facial skin of rosacea patients. Researchers have also discovered that two genetic variants of the human genome may be associated with the disorder.
MEDICATIONS, LASER TREATMENTS, AND GOOD SKINCARE ARE KEY TO IMPROVING YOUR SKIN HEALTH.At Clinique K, we understand that Rosacea is more than just a cosmetic concern; it's a condition that requires a tailored approach. Our Redness/Rosacea programs leverage various technologies designed specifically to meet your unique needs.
Our laser technologies include:
Our comprehensive Rosacea programs testify to our commitment to your skin health. Led by our medical laser specialists, Issa Lozano and Sandra Grondin, we offer a series of treatments combined with effective skincare management.
Our programs are meticulously crafted to treat and prevent rosacea symptoms such as papules, pustules, diffuse redness, and enlarged pores. Issa Lozano and Sandra Grondin will gladly assess your skin and guide you.
Persistent facial redness affecting the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin is the hallmark of rosacea, often accompanied by itching, burning, or stinging sensations. Additionally, rosacea sufferers might notice bumps and pimples or the development of tiny visible blood vessels on their skin. Many individuals with rosacea mistakenly use the wrong skin care products to cover this redness or treat what they believe to be sunburn or acne. This can make the rosacea flare-ups even worse.
Using harsh cleansers and acne medications can exacerbate the situation, further irritating the skin and compromising its moisture barrier. Our recommendation for those with rosacea often includes ceasing all current skin care treatments and reverting to a minimalist routine with carefully selected products that soothe and protect the skin without causing additional irritation.
We invite you to visit the Rosacea Awareness Month website for more insights and resources on rosacea.
