What is rosacea?
La rosacea on the face is a skin condition that manifests itself in certain areas of the face, including the cheeks, forehead, wings of the nose as well as the chin. It rarely appears before the age of 30 and affects both men and women, especially Nordic-type subjects with light skin, light eyes and light hair. This explains why it was once qualified as the "Curse of the Celts".
La redness is often accompanied by tingling due to increased sensitivity of the skin. This intolerance can make it difficult to apply cosmetics, and sometimes even concerns soap and water!

What are the causes of rosacea?
Although known for a long time, its causes are still poorly determined. The genetic factor is significant since rosacea particularly affects the fair skinned population. Here is a non-exhaustive list of factors promoting inflammation:
- The hot food which promote flushing and can therefore worsen symptoms even if they are not the cause: spicy dishes, hot drinks, alcohol consumption
- Abrupt temperature changes : work in front of a hot spring, intense physical effort
- Le stress and strong emotions: stress (especially chronic) increases inflammation in the body in general. Since rosacea is an inflammatory reaction, it can be caused or worsened by stress.
- The pregnancy
- Taking corticosteroids
This irritation is often concealed by make-up or products unsuitable for the person's skin. Therefore the irritation remains unchecked and may in some cases increase.
In particular, you should avoid foundations and greasy powders that clog the pores. Ask your pharmacist who can advise you on covering but fluid medical foundations. They will effectively mask redness while letting your skin breathe and moisturize it.

La rosacea is not a contagious disease, but antibiotics are effective due to their anti-inflammatory action.
It is therefore important to consult your dermatologist if you think you have the condition. Its diagnosis will guide you on the seriousness of the condition and the most suitable solutions for their treatment.
Reduce rosacea with laser treatment
Here are two effective treatments for rosacea to be carried out in a dermatological practice to eliminate redness and dilated vessels. They also often make it possible to space out the course of antibiotics:
- The pulsed dye laser: this is the reference treatment, carried out over several sessions, from 2 to 6 depending on the severity. It is a little painful but bearable. Note that it can leave small purple marks on the face several weeks after its intervention.
- Electrocoagulation: this solution sends electrical impulses to the face. The sessions are more or less painful depending on the sensitivity of the subject.
It is important in both cases to apply a correct healing cream following the sessions.
