Rosacea

While rosy cheeks have traditionally been thought of as a sign of good health — having permanent redness, flushing or broken blood vessels can signal rosacea. This is a common skin condition, most often affecting people aged 30 and above with fair skin.

If left untreated, rosacea can become more noticeable — potentially leading to permanent flushing in the face, telangiectasia (or facial veins) appearing on cheeks, or the development of small red bumps or pus-filled pimples.

The Midtown Health and Wellness Clinic - Aesthetics offers the Elite iQ™ laser, which can be an effective treatment for rosacea.

In addition, the clinic carries some of the highest-rated medical-grade skin-care products available to help treat rosacea, such as:

SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel

SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Essence Mist

SkinCeuticals Serum 10 AOX+

See the site’s “Skin care and other products” section for more information on these brands.

Daily use of a high-protection broad-spectrum sunscreen is also important to help prevent rosacea. Contact the clinic for information about the sunscreens we carry as well as the treatments and products mentioned above.
