Persistent redness on the face, a feeling of heat in the cheeks that often flares up, small blisters and the appearance of capillaries… If this sounds familiar to you, you may be dealing with rosacea. This disease, which is diagnosed by a dermatologist, affects both aesthetic appearance and social quality of life. It can progress over time and lead to further problems if left untreated.
Fortunately, modern, painless and effective treatment options are now available to control rosacea. In our clinic, we use advanced systems such as BBL therapy and the FDA-approved LED therapy device to safely relieve the symptoms of rosacea.
What is Rosacea (Rose Disease)?
Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that usually affects the face. It is most commonly characterized by redness, vasodilation and sometimes pimple-like blisters on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. The disease progresses with flare-ups and remissions over time.
What are the Symptoms of Rosacea?
- Persistent or periodic redness on the face
- Fine capillaries become prominent
- Burning, stinging or feeling of heat
- Red blisters that look like pimples
- Thickening of the skin (especially in the nose)
- Dryness, itching and irritation of the eyes
Rosacea usually occurs after the age of 30 and is more common in fair-skinned people. Although it is more common in women, it can be more severe in men.
What Causes Rosacea?
Although the exact cause is not known, the following factors are thought to be effective:
- Genetic predisposition
- Immune system sensitivity
- Excessive exposure to sunlight
- Hot food/drinks, spicy foods
- Alcohol consumption
- Stress and sudden emotional changes
- Increase of mites called Demodex on the skin
Methods we use in our clinic for the treatment of rosacea
Rosacea cannot be completely eliminated, but with modern technologies the symptoms can be largely controlled. In our clinic, we use two effective treatment methods for this purpose:
1. Skin Transformation with Light with BBL (BroadBand Light) Treatment
BBL is a system that works with high-intensity broadband light technology applied under the skin. It is one of the most preferred devices in rosacea treatment.
How does BBL Work?
- It shrinks the vessel walls by targeting enlarged capillaries.
- Reduces redness and inflammation.
- Evens skin tone and improves overall skin quality.
- Soothes the skin by reducing the frequency of attacks.
Session Information:
- Application time: 20-30 minutes on average.
- It is painless, with only a slight sensation of heat.
- Usually 3-5 sessions are recommended.
- You can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.
The BBL device works with rosacea-specific heads and targets only the problematic vessels. Thus, treatment is provided without damaging the skin.
2. Calming and Repairing Skin with LED Therapy
The FDA-approved LED therapy device we use in our clinic reduces skin sensitivity and redness by using red and yellow light wavelengths in the treatment of rosacea.
What Does LED Therapy Do?
Red light: Strengthens vascular walls, reduces inflammation.
Near Infrared Light: Soothes the skin, balances immune responses (anti-inflammatory effect). Promotes cell regeneration, strengthens the skin barrier. Relieves burning and stinging sensation.
Blue Light Eliminates invisible microorganisms that have increased in number on the skin surface.
Advantages:
- It is a painless, needle-free and comfortable application.
- It takes 20 minutes on average.
- Suitable for all skin types.
- It can be combined with other treatments.
It can be combined with other treatments. LED therapy is a gentle but effective supportive treatment, especially for sensitive skin.
