WHAT IS ROSACEA?

Rosacea is a long-term disease that affects the skin and sometimes the eyes. Rosacea typically starts between ages 30 and 50 years but has been seen in adolescents and the elderly. Women are more likely to have rosacea, but it is more severe in men. Fair-skinned people are more susceptible to rosacea. If you’re having trouble with rosacea, contact the skin experts at Hubbell Dermatology at 337-981-6065.

Founder & medical director Dr. Christopher Hubbell offers the latest in the treatment of Rosacea. “Several prescriptions are available both topically and orally that can reduce the number of pimples and control Rosacea, and can be used either alone or in combination,” says Dr. Hubbell.

“One of the most exciting treatments however is using a laser to treat this redness. Lasers, such as the pulsed dye laser selectively targets the enlarged blood vessels and acts to clear the redness of Rosacea.”

While Rosacea cannot be cured, it can be controlled. “Early treatment can lessen and get rid of symptoms, and help to stop the disease from progressing,” says Hubbell. “The most important step is to see a dermatologist early on to begin a treatment regimen.” Visit our Medical Spa and Dermatology office located in Lafayette, Louisiana (LA).

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Rosacea is not acne but can be present with acne. Rosacea is not just sensitive skin, it is a progressive, and difficult to treat disease and must be taken seriously. It can cause severe emotional distress due to the visible facial involvement.
