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
My experience with Stephanie at Laser & Skin was such a positive one from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, Laura (l believe I’m getting the name right? - sorry if not!) but she was absolutely lovely, so friendly and sweet. Definitely made you feel right at home there. Then when I met with Stephanie for my appointment, she was the first dermatologist that actually listened to my issues (I’ve seen 5 different doctors, at 3 different practices over 6 years). Not only did she take the time to listen to any and all of my concerns, but she offered a solution and/or suggestion for me to try for each and every one of them. I felt like I had an appointment with a friend, not another doctor who had 100 other patients that day and didn’t really care what my concerns were. I left feeling hopeful, happy, and most importantly - heard. I highly recommend Stephanie & this office to anyone who is searching for a dermatologist!
She was fantastic! Will definitely go back
My experience was great! I will definitely be back
Super friendly staff, clean facility, and Dr. Wang gave plenty of options for treatment. His team was also very professional and reassuring through the entire process. probably the best dermatologist i’ve ever seen
Stephanie Slaski was amazing at addressing all my concerns in a very friendly, comfortable and non judgmental way! Highly recommend her!!!
