Rosacea Awareness Month happens each April. While some skin changes and conditions are more challenging to manage than others, Rosacea is difficult to diagnose as it can mimic other conditions. Have you noticed increased redness in your skin, particularly in your cheeks, and some swollen red bumps or visible blood vessels? You may be suffering from rosacea. Rosacea is a common skin condition that affects over 3 million people.
What Exactly Is Rosacea?
The Mayo Clinic defines rosacea as a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most commonly affects the face and is frequently misdiagnosed as severe acne. It can happen to anyone, but it is most common in middle-aged women with fair skin. (Mayo Clinic, 2022)
What Causes Rosacea?
The cause of rosacea is unknown, but science is discovering that it may be a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. As a result, several triggers have been found to aggravate symptoms or even cause a rosacea flare-up by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface.
Some of these triggers are listed by the Mayo Clinic as follows: (Mayo Clinic, 2022)
- Hot beverages or spicy foods
- Alcohol
- Extreme temperatures, combined with direct sunlight or wind
- Triggers of emotion
- Physical exertion or exercise
- a few cosmetics
- Prescription medications that dilate blood vessels, such as blood pressure medications
What Are Some Rosacea Treatments?
While there is no cure, treatments have been developed to help those suffering from rosacea manage and reduce the symptoms of flare-ups. Combining skincare with prescription treatments is a common practice. The Glacial Rx is one skin treatment that we would like to introduce to our patients suffering from Rosacea.
Glacial Rx™ is the first and only age spot removal treatment that uses patented cooling technology to freeze melanin at the source, soothing your skin (how refreshing!) while effectively removing those pesky age spots.
How are age spots removed without the use of heat? Using Cryomodulation™ Simply put, Cryomodulation™ uses the power of cold to suppress melanin production, which is the root cause of age spots. Furthermore, the cooling process provides a cooling sensation while reducing redness and inflammation and speeding up exfoliation to reveal brighter, more radiant skin. (HIP, 2022)
