Rosacea Treatment Nashville
Rosacea is a chronic skin disease some Nashville residents suffer from that is characterized by redness on the face. It can also appear on the neck, scalp and chest, but it is less common. Although embarrassing, Rosacea is most often considered a cosmetic concern and medical condition unless the eyes are affected. Only then, medications are prescribed. At The Franklin Center for Skin & Laser Surgery we understand Rosacea and have developed a Rosacea procedure that employs lasers to remove the redness.
Rosacea Symptoms
- Redness of the skin
- Dryness
- Swelling
- Burning sensation
- Eye irritation
- Pimple-like blemishes
Causes of Rosacea
The exact cause of Rosacea is unknown, but clearly involves dilation of small blood vessels in the face. It is not known if Rosacea is genetic or caused by sun exposure, but these are suspected causes. The bacteria associated with stomach ulcers and medications that widen blood vessels are also suspect.
Most Common Triggers
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Foods high in histamine
- Spicy food
- Sunburn
- Cold wind
- Sudden changes in temperature
- Strenuous exercise
- Emotional stress
How Does The Franklin Center Treat Rosacea?
We use a procedure similar to our Laser Vein Therapy to treat Rosacea. Lasers remove the redness by breaking up the blood vessels. Then the body naturally absorbs the tissue safely and effectively. However, Rosacea is a disease and if triggers aren’t avoided, newly formed blood vessels will reappear and the procedure may need to be repeated.
