Rosacea
Also known as the ‘Curse of the Celtics’, Rosacea often affects fair skin, fair haired, sun damaged patients, although this is somewhat of a generalisation. It is a condition that presents with a variety of skin signs, mainly affecting the face and sometimes ‘extra-facial’ regions.
Hallmark features are:
Pimples and pustules
Capillaries and generalised redness
Flushing of the skin
Generalised skin texture, dilated pores, and occasionally a sandpaper type feel.
Treatment can be divided into skin care, medical therapy and physical therapy. Often a combination of these are required.
At Gold Coast Dermatology Clinic our doctors and nurses use the Cutera Excel V+ to tackle blood vessels and papules, the laser genesis to improve general redness and promote collagen and elastin regeneration and the Sciton BBL for general rejuvenation.
Our signature Rosacea treatment is the Genesis Glow. A deep cleanse, Mandelic Acid Peel, followed by laser genesis.
