Rosacea Treatment in Elgin

The Not So-Rosy Realities of Rosacea

Caught you blushing! Or did we? If your cheeks or other parts of your body are red long after blushing subsides, you may have chronic rosacea. Instead of caking on more makeup, or accepting the realities of this condition, Dundee Dermatology recommends the most painless rosacea treatment in Elgin. Rosacea Treatment in Elgin

Our laser vein treatment offers an advanced method to treat this common condition. But to understand how this procedure works, let’s start by getting to know you—or rather, your rosacea!

Debunking the “Celtic Curse”

We believe in science, not curses. So while it’s a long held belief that rosacea is the curse of the celts, the reality goes much deeper. This condition can be hereditary for many fairer skin types, but it’s also common for those with no family history. So is it truly a curse? 

We recommend letting science decide! Instead of myths and legends, our specialists look into common factors to ensure the most effective rosacea treatment possible.

Your Settings

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can trigger rosacea flare-ups, making proper skin care so important! We recommend wearing sunscreen year round to protect your skin against many problematic symptoms, including rosacea. But in the Midwest, there are some things that sunscreen can’t protect against!

The hot summers and cold winters of Illinois can irritate the skin, which contributes to rosacea flare-ups. Blustering winds can also dry out the skin and cause irritation, leading to redness and flushing. Too much exposure to the harshest elements in Illinois can affect your skin in many ways.

Your Lifestyle

Your mental health can also have a direct correlation to your skin health! Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, causing inflammation as your body works harder to fight off disease. And like illness, medication can also aggravate rosacea. Certain blood pressure medications, corticosteroids, and even hormone therapy could put you at a higher risk of redness and chronic rosacea. Regardless of why you’re seeking a rosacea treatment in Elgin, Dundee Dermatology has options for relief.

Relieve Your Rosacea

With the most advanced option available, we provide painless relief from redness for patients from all walks of life! Our treatment of choice? Laser pigmentation rejuvenation!

In every journey to relief, we tailor your unique care plan to suit your needs best. That’s why we love the flexibility and function of DermaV! Using specific wavelengths between 532nm and 1064nm, this laser effectively shrinks the blood vessels to reduce your redness without damaging upper layers of your skin. 

Each session only requires 30-60 minutes, with 2-4 sessions typically needed to experience relief. Following your session, you can get right back to your day. We also recommend investing in clinical-grade skincare to maintain the best results possible.
