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

Clean and comfortable facility, very friendly staff, excellent doctor who is very knowledgeable, professional and caring.
I’ve been seeing Stephanie Slaski, PA-C for my dermatology needs, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is incredibly thorough during my skin checks and always takes the time to ensure I understand everything. Her warm, approachable demeanor makes every visit a pleasant experience, and I never feel rushed. She goes above and beyond to explain things before moving forward with any procedures, like biopsies, especially when working on my face, which I deeply appreciate. Stephanie is also amazing with Botox and has helped me tremendously with hyperhidrosis. I always leave feeling confident that I’m in great hands. Stephanie’s professionalism paired with her kindness truly sets her apart. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and skilled dermatology provider, Stephanie is definitely the one to see!
Great people, made me very comfortable in an uncomfortable moment. Everyone had a smile and an amazing attitude. This practice is top notch.
