The redness in my face is painful.
Thank you for posting your question. Once diagnosed clinically, acne rosacea can be treated in a similar way to other types of rosacea through topical application of an anti-bacterial agent such as Metronidazole or oral medication such as tetracycline or doxycycline, which keeps the bacterial component under control and also has an anti-inflammatory benefit.In extreme cases, Isotretinoin can have a benefit as well. I hope that this has been helpful and I wish you well in your treatment. Best wishes, Dr Ariel Haus, London.
There are many options available for treatment of rosacea. In our practice, many patients are satisfied with the Excel V laser for treating rosacea. The Cutera Excel V Laser treatment is best used to improve Rosacea, and overall facial redness. Two different lasers used to treat acne rosacea. The first laser treats more superficially, right below the skin. The second laser has a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper. This laser can penetrate the deeper blood vessels, providing a more comprehensive, accurate treatment for rosacea. The result: Pores tighten, glands shrink, facial rejuvenation, nice glow due to collagen reformation. Skin starts to clear, redness is reduced. We don’t just treat surface blood vessels, we go deeper since the vessels have a variety of depth. So to achieve the best results, you should not treat the surface alone, but also target the deeper layers. For best results, it is best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist. Thank you for your question, best of luck!
