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 have been so happy with Stephanie as my provider for the last 10+ years! Going in for cosmetics was always intimidating to me and she always made me feel so comfortable and guided me without any pressure! She is so sweet and easy to work with, truly cares for her patients. Would not see anyone else!
Stephanie is an excellent dermatology provider. I have been seeing her for years for both skin-related issues and cosmetic procedures. For skin-related issues, she takes the time to explain everything in detail and allows me to ask questions to make sure I understand. I always feel very well taken care of by her and never rushed along. She is very calm and patient and everything I would look for in a medical professional. For cosmetic procedures, she is truly an artist who continues to work on perfecting her craft! I have seen nothing but incredible results and always look forward to my cosmetic appointments with Stephanie. I highly recommend her to all of my family and friends!
Stephanie has been taking care of my skin for several years, and her expertise has boosted my confidence tremendously! I trust her with any and every concern because she truly knows her stuff. I’ve even referred my own patients to her, knowing they’ll receive exceptional care.
Stephanie has been my provider for nearly 5 years, and my experience each time is nothing short of exceptional. Stephanie is beyond knowledgeable in all aspects of dermatology. Not only do I see her for my general derm concerns, but she also is my cosmetic injector and is INCREDIBLY talented. (I like to call her my facial engineer!) I’ve seen many providers over the years at various offices, but there is no one like Stephanie. Her expertise and compassionate care is unparalleled and truly sets her apart. She takes the time to thoroughly understand my concerns, explain treatment options, and answer all my questions in a way that is easy to understand. I send all my family and friends to see her and can’t recommend her enough!!!
Stephanie is the best of the best! She is amazing at what she does and so talented. She makes you feel super comfortable and is extremely thorough with her skin checks. I highly recommend Stephanie Slaski for your next derm appt.
