Mirvaso works by constricting ( making smaller) blood vessels right under the skin's surface that contribute to the redness of Rosacea. The redness of Eczema and scars are not caused by blood vessels, so Mirvaso will not help.
Mirvaso works by constricting the microscopic blood vessels in the surface of the skin often dilated due to rosacea. It works in some patients with rosacea, but not all. Redness from a scar is likely not going to be changed by the mirvaso. Redness from eczema is caused by inflammation and would not be improved by mirvaso. It may even be made worse.
Mirvaso works for SOME patients with rosacea, but compared to lasers and old fashioned doxycycline and metronidazole, it is not a revolution in the treatment of redness. It works by constricting blood vessels. With scars the redness is due to dilated or open blood vessels of a large calibre. Mirvaso will not work in this situation. In eczema Mirvaso will most likely irritate skin, and make eczema worse. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
