All illnesses which last for a long
time can adversely affect a person, but the claws of rosacea are far more
reaching and upsetting because it primarily affects the appearance of a person.
Its effects are beyond physical and can really change a person’s feelings about
himself or herself and how he or she relates with others.
Feelings of low self esteem, frustration and
embarrassment are common among people with rosacea. However, what they should keep in mind is that
rosacea can still be controlled even though it has no cure. Determination to
follow the treatment plan and actively participating in self care pave the road
for people with rosacea to start picking things up and feel better on the inside
and outside.
People with this condition need to arm themselves of the
signs of rosacea, its treatment, and the lifestyle changes needed for success.
One treatment available is the use of laser and intense pulse light. This treatment aims at reducing the visibility of the blood vessels on the face. In addition, it also reduces flushing. They work by producing heat and shrinking the visible blood vessels with little damage to the tissues around them. Usually, two to six treatments are needed to see results. Its side effects include temporary redness and swelling of the skin and blisters around the affected area and they usually last for a few days only. One setback is that it can be costly.
Besides lasers and IPL, there are other suitable treatments you can choose from.
Be knowledgeable about them in order to make well informed decisions.
