What is Rosacea?
The skin condition known as rosacea causes the skin to look inflamed and red and typically presents around the cheeks and nose. It can frequently be confused with other skin ailments but can be treated and handled if diagnosed correctly. Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania in Devon, PA utilizes several innovative solutions, including laser treatment, to lighten the redness and minimize flushing. Rosacea can happen to almost anyone, but is most common among middle-aged to older women with fair skin. Rosacea is a skin condition with no real cure, but it can be managed. When left untreated, it can worsen over time, causing symptoms to persist and flare for several weeks. Our team will assess your skin for symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to help keep them at bay.
How is Rosacea Managed?
Even though there is not currently a cure for rosacea, several treatment options are available, like topicals and antibiotic pills that can assist with inflammation. Pills tend to be much more successful in the short term but can create more side effects. Topicals can help to maintain and prevent inflammation. Laser treatments can minimize the look of blood vessels and improve symptoms related to facial flushing. A combination treatment plan is often recommended for the best management and outcomes.
What are the Symptoms of Rosacea?
Symptoms of rosacea can vary from moderate to severe. The standard sign of rosacea is a red face. In most patients, the central part of the face is noticeably red. The blood vessels of the nose and cheeks can swell and become visible. Other symptoms of rosacea can include:
- Red and swollen bumps on the face that resemble acne
- Lumps may be pus-filled
- Skin may feel tender and hot to the touch
- Eye problems, such as eye irritation, dryness, and red, swollen eyelids
- Nose can appear swollen, resulting in a bulbous appearance
Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
I cannot say enough great things about the care I received from Stephanie Slaski, PA-C and team. Upon entering the office, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who was efficient and made me feel very welcomed. The office was clean, modern and easy to find with plenty of parking behind the office building. Upon completing the easy check-in process as a new patient, I was immediately taken into an exam room and within minutes was under the wonderful care of Stephanie Slaski. Stephanie attentively listened and thoroughly evaluated my concern. Her bedside manner was warm and reassuring and you could tell that she genuinely cared about my health. I felt 110% comfortable trusting my care to Stephanie and her team and would highly recommend them to anyone!!
The entire office staff was amazing. Stephanie was incredible. She is soo friendly, professional, validating and thorough. Would recommend to anyone.
This was my first visit - from the front desk staff to my actual appointment, everything and everyone were a 10/10s! I felt heard and my girl hooked me up! Will never go anywhere else ?¨
Very nice office, had my yearly skin check. She was very thorough which was much appreciated. I'll be returning next year for my exam, and maybe some cosmetic stuff in the future, once I've psyched myself up enough to do fractional laser.
The best kept secret on the mainline!
