Rosacea in atlanta

Q: Can dehydration cause rosacea?

Dehydration cannot cause rosacea, but it can make the condition worse. When you're not getting enough water, it can affect your skin's barrier and make it more vulnerable to irritation and inflammation, leading to a possible rosacea flare-up.

Q: How can I stop my rosacea from itching?

There are several ways to stop itching from rosacea, including regularly moisturizing, using anti-inflammatory creams and anti-itch creams, protecting your skin from the sun, and drinking as much water as possible. During your appointment with aesthetician Travis Keller, he will build a treatment plan to help reduce itching and address your rosacea symptoms

Q: How long does a rosacea flare up last?

A rosacea flare-up can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. It can depend on your skin, how severe your rosacea is, and if you seek treatment immediately. At Keller Aesthetics, we can help you understand your triggers and treat your rosacea.

Q: What happens if rosacea is left untreated?

If left untreated, rosacea can become worse. While it's not life-threatening, it can significantly impact your skin health. Redness and flushing can become worse, and the skin can thicken. If it's around the eyes, it can also affect your vision. Rosacea can also affect how you feel about yourself and cause self-consciousness and embarrassment. It's why treatment is so crucial.

Q: What are the 4 types of rosacea?

There are four main types of rosacea, including erythematotelangiectatic (ETR) rosacea, papulopustular rosacea, ocular rosacea, and phymatous rosacea. Determining the type of rosacea you have will help us come up with the best treatment plan for your skin's needs.

Q: What is the root cause of rosacea?

The root cause of rosacea is not entirely understood. It could be caused by genetics, an overactive immune system, or environmental factors. When you have rosacea, it can go away for months or years at a time, but it can be triggered by wind, sun, hot drinks, spicy food, alcohol, and more.

Q: Can you wear eye makeup with ocular rosacea?

Yes, you can wear eye makeup with ocular rosacea, but we recommend avoiding any makeup when your eyes are inflamed or when you're having a flare-up. When you do wear makeup, you should use gentle eye makeup that is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.

Q: Is rosacea contagious?

No, rosacea is not contagious. You cannot pass it to others through physical touch or by being near people.

Q: What are the early signs of rosacea?

Some of the early signs of rosacea include flushing, redness, visible blood vessels, and a burning or stinging sensation. By addressing your rosacea early, you can get the condition under control before it worsens.

Q: What foods trigger rosacea?

Alcohol, spicy foods, dairy, and foods with histamines in them can all trigger a rosacea flare-up. Knowing your triggers and which foods cause a flare-up can be important in keeping your rosacea symptoms at bay and managing the condition.

Living with rosacea can be a constant battle against redness, flare-ups, and sensitive skin. This chronic skin condition often affects not only the appearance but also the comfort and confidence of those who experience it.

The unpredictable nature of rosacea, with triggers that can vary from environmental factors to certain foods, makes managing it a challenge. Fortunately, there are a variety of treatments designed to reduce flare-ups and improve an individual’s quality of life.

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that typically affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It often begins with a tendency to blush or flush and can progress to persistent redness, irritation, and swelling. While the exact cause of rosacea isn’t fully understood, it’s believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

What are the Different Types of Rosacea Treatment?

At Keller Aesthetics, we understand that no two cases of rosacea are the same, so we offer a range of treatments designed to address various symptoms and severity levels.

RS2 Facials

Designed as a monthly treatment specifically for rosacea-prone skin, RS2 facials utilize gentle, soothing ingredients to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and restore the skin’s natural barrier. Its gentle formula is suitable for most skin types, making anyone a good candidate.

LightStim LED Light Therapy

This non-invasive treatment uses therapeutic light to reduce inflammation and promote healing. The gentle warmth and light penetrate the skin, helping to diminish redness and soothe irritation.

Laser Genesis

A favorite for its ability to target redness and diffuse rosacea symptoms, laser treatments work by gently heating the upper dermis to stimulate collagen production and constrict blood vessels, reducing redness over time.

IPL

IPL treatments use broad-spectrum light to target and reduce visible blood vessels and redness, resulting in a more even skin tone in multiple skin types.

Azelaic Peel Therapy

Azelaic acid is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This cosmetic procedure helps to reduce redness and acne breakouts associated with rosacea, offering a clearer and smoother complexion.

What are the Benefits of Rosacea Treatment?

Rosacea treatments offer multiple benefits beyond just reducing redness, including:

Minimizes visible blood vessels
Improves skin texture and tone
Decreases inflammation and irritation
Reduces the frequency and severity of flare-ups
