😰 What Is Rosacea (Facial Redness)? — Persistent Redness on the Nose and Cheeks
If you are troubled by redness on your nose or cheeks, you may be experiencing rosacea.
Rosacea is a skin condition in which the face — particularly the nose and both cheeks — becomes generally red.
Below we explain the symptoms and causes of rosacea. Please check whether any of the descriptions apply to you.
🩺 Symptoms of Rosacea (Facial Redness)
When rosacea develops, flushing and temporary redness of the face recur repeatedly, and persistent facial redness gradually sets in. In chronic cases, acne-like red bumps and pus-filled lesions may also appear.
Rosacea can be classified into the following four subtypes based on the severity of symptoms.
Please note that symptoms may overlap, so a clear-cut classification into a single subtype is not always possible.
🔍 Causes of Rosacea (Facial Redness)
The precise cause of rosacea has not been fully established. Symptoms tend to appear when capillaries dilate and allow a greater volume of blood to flow through them than normal.
Factors that may worsen rosacea-related facial redness include the following.
🌶️ Consumption of irritants (spicy foods, etc.)
🍺 Consumption of alcohol or caffeine
🌡️ Sudden temperature changes
☀️ UV exposure
😤 Strong emotions
🏃 Exercise
💊 Hormonal imbalances
🚬 Smoking
In addition, applying heavy foundation to conceal redness can cause rosacea to worsen due to the irritation caused by makeup remover.
💊 How Is Rosacea (Facial Redness) Treated? — Our Two Treatment Approaches
Our clinic offers the following two treatment options to help improve rosacea and facial redness.
✨ V-Beam laser
💊 Medication-based treatment
Below we explain the features, benefits, and potential side effects of each option.
⚡ V-Beam Laser
V-Beam is a treatment that delivers laser light deep into the skin to help address a variety of skin conditions.
Unlike conventional laser treatments that target dark melanin pigment, V-Beam targets red pigment. By acting on hemoglobin in the blood, it is a treatment approach that may help improve the facial redness associated with rosacea.
V-Beam is also equipped with a cooling system, which helps reduce discomfort during treatment and minimizes stress on the skin. It may also offer skin-beautifying benefits such as improved firmness, radiance, and a reduction in fine lines.
Additionally, V-Beam treatment for three specific conditions — port-wine stain, strawberry hemangioma, and telangiectasia — may be covered by insurance. Sessions are typically scheduled once every three months.
If you are concerned about rosacea or facial redness, please feel free to consult our clinic. The page linked below introduces the V-Beam treatment process and associated costs, so please take a look.
💊 Medication-Based Treatment
Rosacea can also be treated with oral medications.
Topical agents such as “sulfur camphor lotion” may be used as part of the treatment.
Please note that medication-based treatment does not produce results on the same day. Improving rosacea and facial redness requires consistent, long-term use of medication and ongoing treatment.
🧴 Daily Skincare Also Plays an Important Role in Rosacea Treatment
Daily skincare is important for preventing rosacea from worsening. For those concerned about facial redness, UV protection and moisturizing are particularly beneficial.
☀️ UV rays cause facial capillaries to dilate, so applying sunscreen is recommended as part of rosacea management. Sunscreens that do not contain UV-absorbing chemicals tend to be less likely to irritate the skin.
💧 Because rosacea-prone skin tends to be dry and sensitive, protecting the skin through moisturizing is also important. Look for a highly moisturizing lotion that contains the moisturizing ingredients ceramide and hyaluronic acid.
