While a healthy flush or blush can enhance your personal aesthetic, sometimes redness goes too far. Rosacea, a chronic (and extremely common) skin condition, causes unwanted redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels on the face.
Luckily, with the BBL® HEROic™️ laser for rosacea redness near Cincinnati, our expert team at Dermatology Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky can soothe redness and restore a more even skin tone.
Causes of Rosacea
Rosacea does not have a known cause, but research shows a mix of genetics, environment, and the tiny microbes that live on our skin all play a role in triggering rosacea.
Risk factors that can cause a rosacea flare-up include:
- Sun and heat exposure
- Extreme cold or wind
- A weakened skin barrier
- Changes in the skin’s microbiome
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Spicy foods
- Stressful situations
- Smoking, alcohol, and certain medications
- Genetics
How BBL HEROic Helps Fight Rosacea
The BBL HEROic uses noninvasive light therapy to rejuvenate skin. From sun spots to acne to rosacea, this fast, powerful, and comfortable treatment option can address a wide variety of skin concerns.
Using broad-spectrum light, the BBL HEROic activates your body’s natural healing response. The light goes deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, 2 important structural proteins that improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
The BBL technology also allows us to target the hemoglobin in blood vessels, which helps diminish visible redness in patients with rosacea.
1 to 2 weeks after initial treatment, patients can begin seeing improvement. Full results, however, develop over the next 3 to 6 months, as collagen remodeling improves skin tone and texture.
