How can I go for aesthetic treatment without worsening my rosacea?

Rosacea can often be persistent with occasional flares. It is important to avoid triggers such as sun exposure, heat, spicy foods, and alcohol.

A simple skincare regime aiming at hydrating and protecting the skin can be very helpful. Medicated creams such as rozex gel or mirvaso can be useful in some patients. If your skin is red with red spots as well, then oral medicines such as antibiotics or isotretinoin can be added to improve control.

Lastly, the VBEAM laser is excellent at improving the redness, broken red vessels and has the added bonus of rejuvenating the skin at the same time.

I would advise that you address the rosacea first. The mainstay of treatment for rosacea is a combination of topical and/ or oral medications & lasers, with the possibility of rejuran injections (depending on your skin type).

I would advice you to seek an experienced doctor for a consult and explanation of treatment plan.

Hope this helps!

Depending on what type of skin concerns you would like address, the aesthetic treatments can still be tailored not to worsen your pre-existing rosacea.

For instance there are effective laser treatments that not only improve acne prone skin and radiance, they can also be used to treat your rosacea at the same time.

So I would recommend you to speak to an experienced doctor with rosacea to address your aesthetics concerns.

Hope this helps! Cheers!

I would consider doing Skin Booster in combination with Rejuran/pdrn to control the skin sensitivity and redness.

Adequate moisturising or appropriate products and avoiding excessive heat-based therapies (IPL/Lasers/RF) would be advisable.
