Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels, primarily on the face. It may also produce small, red, pus-filled bumps. These symptoms can flare up for weeks to months before diminishing.
Triggers that can cause rosacea to flare include extreme temperatures, spicy foods, alcoholic beverages, sunlight, stress, and certain cosmetics.
At Aura Eye Center, we recognize the challenges and discomfort that rosacea can bring to those who suffer from it, especially when it affects the eye area, known as ocular rosacea. To provide effective relief and manage the symptoms of rosacea, we utilize Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that has shown remarkable success in reducing the signs and symptoms associated with this condition.
What is IPL Therapy?
IPL therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target and treat various skin issues, including the redness, inflammation, and visible blood vessels caused by rosacea. The light energy from IPL is absorbed by the pigmented areas of the skin and the blood vessels, generating heat that destroys the unwanted pigment and shrinks dilated blood vessels, thereby reducing redness and improving the overall appearance of the skin.
