Rosacea

Conveniently located to serve Alpharetta, John's Creek, Milton, and Roswell

At House of Dermatology, we recognize the challenges posed by rosacea and are dedicated to providing practical solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder primarily affecting the face and is one of many conditions treated under our medical dermatology treatments. It often manifests as redness on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. While it can occur in anyone, it is commonly seen in fair-skinned individuals between the ages of 30 and 50. The condition may also include small red bumps or pustules that resemble acne but are not caused by clogged pores.

Individuals experiencing symptoms of rosacea are typically good candidates for treatment. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Experience frequent flushing or blushing that lasts longer than usual
• Notice small, visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) on your face
• Have persistent redness on your cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead
• Develop acne-like bumps or pustules that don’t respond to traditional acne treatments
• Experience burning, stinging, or itching sensations on your face
• Have been diagnosed with ocular rosacea, which affects the eyes
• Are committed to following a consistent skincare routine and avoiding known triggers
• Understand that rosacea management is often a long-term process requiring ongoing care

Rosacea treatments in Alpharetta provide several benefits, including:

• Reduced facial redness and flushing
• Minimized visible blood vessels
• Fewer acne-like breakouts
• Improved texture appearance
• Increased self-confidence
• Better control over symptoms

During your initial consultation at House of Dermatology in Alpharetta, Dr. Ravi R. Patel will thoroughly examine your skin and discuss your medical history. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be developed. This plan may include one or more of the following treatment modalities:

• Topical Medications: If topical medications are prescribed, you will be instructed to apply them correctly. This typically involves applying a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily.
• Oral Medications: If oral medications are prescribed, you will receive detailed instructions on dosage and potential side effects. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress.
• Laser Therapy: If laser therapy is recommended, the procedure will involve using a specialized laser to target visible blood vessels and reduce redness. You will receive protective eyewear, and a cooling gel may be applied to the skin. The laser will be passed over the treatment area in several pulses. The number of sessions required will vary depending on the severity of your rosacea. Each session typically lasts 15-30 minutes.
• Skincare Recommendations: You will receive guidance on selecting gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens suitable for sensitive skin. You will also be advised on how to avoid potential triggers, such as harsh scrubs or irritating ingredients.

Each session is monitored carefully to ensure comfort and safety.
