Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can cause persistent facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Symptoms often come and go, with flare-ups triggered by factors such as sun exposure, heat, stress, certain foods, alcohol, or irritating skincare products.
While there is no single treatment that works for every type of rosacea, the redness and visible vessels associated with the condition can often be significantly improved. At The Kaga Institute, we use advanced laser and light-based treatments customized to your skin and the specific symptoms you are experiencing.
How can The Kaga Institute help me treat rosacea?
At Dr. Kaga’s NJ practice, we treat facial redness with the most advanced aesthetics technology:
Excel® V+
Excel® V+ uses precise laser wavelengths to target the vascular component of rosacea, including persistent redness and visible facial blood vessels. Laser energy is absorbed by the targeted vessels, allowing them to gradually diminish while minimizing effects on the surrounding skin.
Because rosacea can vary significantly from person to person, treatment settings can be adjusted based on your skin type, the extent of redness, and the vessels being treated.
XEO®
XEO® is a customizable laser and light-based platform that can address redness, pigmentation, and other changes in skin tone and texture. Different technologies and settings can be selected based on the specific concerns present in your skin, making it a versatile option for patients experiencing rosacea-related redness and discoloration.
What causes rosacea?
The exact cause of rosacea is not completely understood. Genetics, immune-system activity, inflammation, environmental factors, and changes in facial blood vessels may all play a role.
Although aesthetic treatments can reduce visible redness and vessels, rosacea is a chronic condition. An effective treatment plan should therefore focus on improving existing symptoms while also identifying and managing factors that may contribute to future flare-ups.
What can trigger rosacea flare-ups?
Triggers vary from person to person, but common ones include sunlight, hot or cold weather, spicy foods, alcohol, hot beverages, emotional stress, strenuous exercise, and certain skincare products. Learning your individual triggers can be an important part of managing rosacea. Daily sun protection and a gentle skincare routine may also help reduce irritation and minimize flare-ups between treatments.
