Vein Removal and Rosacea:

one or more of the following:

persistent redness that looks like a blush

worsen over time. However, with an effective
treatment program, rosacea can now be
controlled from the onset and prevented
from developing further.
Who gets
rosacea?
- Anyone
from 20 to 70 years old may be affected.
-
Rosacea occurs most often in fair skinned
men and women of British or Northern European
origin, but is rarely seen in those of
Asian or African heritage.
- Women are more
likely to get rosacea than men; however,
men are more likely to experience rhinophyma
(bulbous nose).
How does rosacea progress?
In most people, the first sign of rosacea
is rosy cheeks; the face gets red in patches
and stays red - eventually redness doesn't
go away at all. Rosacea
is a chronic condition. In most people symptoms
come and go in cycles. These flareups are
common.
What
aggravates rosacea?
Certain things are known to aggravate or
cause flareups of rosacea in some individuals.
These
include:
- Exposure
to sunlight
-
Exposure to extreme heat, cold or wind
-
Consumption of hot liquids, spicy foods
or alcohol (especially red wine)
-
Stress can make rosacea worse, as well
as anything that elevates blood pressure
or causes flushing or blushing.
-
Treatment available
Facial Veins can
be treated with a laser to close off the
dilated blood vessels.

do I use my medication?
Proper use of a medication is very important
to the success of a recommended treatment.
The length of time each medication is to
be used and the specific directions for
use will be determined by your doctor. If
you have any questions on how to use your
medication, you should consult your doctor.
Often, doctors will prescribe two or more
medications to be used at the same time.
The following are some general guidelines
for using various types of rosacea medication.
