What is Rosacea?
As one of the most common skin conditions, rosacea leads to flare-ups that can last for weeks or even months at a time. If you have rosacea, you may develop facial redness and flushing for no clear reason. Rosacea is also known for causing:
- Round, bulbous nose
- Warm or tender skin
- Dry, swollen, irritated eyes
- Small pus-filled bumps that resemble pimples
While health care providers aren’t clear as to why rosacea occurs, they believe that a combination of genetics and environmental factors — including sun exposure — are likely to be responsible.
In any case, no matter how minor or how severe your rosacea may be, you can get the dermatology care you need at kalon Dermatology.

How is Rosacea Diagnosed?
Your provider at kalon Dermatology examines your skin for signs of rosacea, including redness, flushing, and enlarged blood vessels. They also ask about your overall skin care, which may include the facial products you use, detergents, or soaps.
Rosacea can often look like other health conditions, so your provider evaluates your skin health to rule out other causes.

How is Rosacea Treated?
Treatment for rosacea depends on the cause of your flare-ups. Common triggers include stress, spicy food, and warm temperatures. Determining your triggers can help prevent rosacea flare-ups and help you enjoy healthy, clear skin.
If you have mild to moderate rosacea, your provider might recommend topical gels or creams that constrict blood vessels to help reduce facial redness. However, if you have rosacea pimples, you might need antibiotic creams or anti-inflammatory medications.
You also want to avoid using harsh deodorant soaps, toners, and astringents on your skin. Managing your diet and nutrition can help improve your skin’s condition as well.

How Can Laser Treatment Help With Rosacea?
Lasers are one of the most in-demand and fast-acting solutions available. Using medical laser technology, kalon Dermatology can reduce the appearance of your rosacea and restore your even-toned skin.
Laser rosacea treatments can target unwanted vessels in your skin. This energy destroys the tiny vessels, causing them to break down and turn into scar tissue, without damaging the surrounding skin. As blood recirculates, your body naturally starts eliminating treated vessels.
Over time, unsightly veins fade away, which leaves you with beautiful, more youthful-looking skin. No needles and no surgery needed. Rosacea treatments are virtually painless and can even be completed during your break.
If you struggle with rosacea in Brooklyn or Staten Island and need expert dermatology care, call kalon Dermatology or schedule your consultation online today.
