Rosacea Laser Treatment

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, redness, pimples, broken blood vessels and thickening of the skin. According to Canadian Dermatology Association, this skin condition commonly affects over 3 million Canadians. Rosacea naturally affects only the skin on the nose, cheeks and forehead, but redness may also be present on the neck, chest and somewhere else.

Rosacea most often appears as redness or blushing on the cheeks and nose. However, symptoms may include:

Bloodshot eyes
Small fluid-filled pimples
Enlarged blood vessels
Skin appearing rough or bum
