I'm 21 years old, have been suffering from rosacea for almost 3years now.My face is permanently red on my forehead, cheeks , and chin and my pores became visible.every now and then I get a huge inflamed pimple and it leaves red spot that last for ages especially in summer. I know there's no cure for rosacea but is there anything that would reduce the permanent redness? Also can the redness be caused by dehydration?
Answer: Improving Rosacea with Clear + Brilliant, peels and VBeam/Yellow lasers, Botox For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Recommne doing Vbeam laser treatments with Melapads and Elevase Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Rosacea Treatment Thank you for your question. I do think it is important you find a dermatologist to help you manage/treat this condition going forward. There are a so many treatment options for this condition, but I will explain some of the basics of treatment. I like to start with a topical regimen including high quality skin care and topical medications. A good skin care regimen provides a healthy environment for your skin, then we add meds to enhance the regimen. My medication of choice is a combination drug that includes Finacea, Soolantra, and Metrogel as well as a Niacinamide base. In addition to a topical regimen, there are oral medications (pills) that can be used to enhance the topical regimen. The drug you will hear a lot about is called Doxycycline/Oracea. It helps to prevent and treat the "bumps" that can develop with rosacea. These medications do a great job with rosacea, but there are also a number of cosmetic procedures and treatments that can help too. My favorite is vascular IPL. This treatment involves a bright light that we use to treat the redness on the face (cheeks, nose, chin, forehead). It is very effective after a series of 5 treatments. After each treatment the redness subsides for a period of time and then returns. We do the next treatment when the redness returns. By the fifth treatment, the redness usually doesn't return for some time. As you can see, there are so many options, let a dermatologist help you decide what is best for you.

Answer: Rosacea Rosacea is a treatable disease and you should see a board certified dermatologist to get it under control. Drugs like Mirvaso really help the redness as well as some laser treatments. There are also treatments for the oil gland activity. Dehydration has no effect
