Red Light Therapy For Rosacea Treatment

Are you one of the nearly 15 million people in America who have patches of red or ruddy skin on their cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead? You might have rosacea. Here at Lux Tan & Cryotherapy, we offer Red Light Therapy treatment for rosacea and other skin conditions. 

​
What is rosacea?
In its earliest stages, rosacea may just look like you’re blushing or have a slight sunburn. But over time, the redness often deepens and spreads. In some cases, it can change the texture of your skin and make blood vessels become more visible.
​

What causes rosacea?
While rosacea affects millions of people, the true cause is still somewhat of a mystery. Some scientists believe there’s a genetic component at play. Others believe diet or environmental factors are the true cause. More recent research indicates that rosacea may be autoimmune or neurovascular in nature.


Rosacea symptoms and warning signs

In general, people with fair skin tend to seek treatment for rosacea more often than those with darker skin. Women are also more likely to have rosacea although some doctors speculate that’s because men avoid going to the doctor.

Regardless, here’s what to look for:

• Persistent blushing and redness - Generally the first sign of rosacea
• Bumpy skin - As rosacea progresses, the appearance of uneven skin is often the next symptom to appear
• Dry, itchy, tingling, or burning skin - Sometimes painful, these rosacea symptoms are common as the disease advances

Contrary to popular belief, rosacea is not limited to just the face. Many people will see redness and other rosacea symptoms on their neck, chest, and back. There are even 4 subtypes of rosacea which can add further confusion to getting properly diagnosed. Some subtypes are characterized by heavy swell but not redness and others may appear to be more like an acne breakout than what is traditionally thought of as rosacea.


Can rosacea be cured?
​Rosacea is a chronic condition and is usually characterized by flare-ups and periods of remission. Some sufferers find that there are triggers to their rosacea that lead to rapidly worsening symptoms. These may include:

• Stress
• Sunny or windy weather
• Extreme temperatures
• Heavily seasoned or spicy food
• Alcoholic beverages

During a flare-up, some prescription medications may reduce the severity or duration of symptoms but finding the right medication can be tricky. Often even if these medications do provide relief from the symptoms of rosacea, they may have unpleasant side effects.
