a Jeuné Medical Spa
offers the latest in
the treatment of rosacea.
Rosacea is a disease affecting the skin of the face
identified by persistent redness of the cheeks, nose and central forehead.
The most famous sufferer of Rosacea is W.C. Fields. Rosacea is usually seen
in fair-skinned adults who have a history of blushing or flushing, although
it can affect people of any skin type. The most common symptoms of Rosacea
include:
- Redness that looks like a sunburn or blush. The redness will eventually
be more noticeable and will not go away.
- Pimples, small, red and solid or
pus-filled.
- Red lines or telangiectasias, that are actually enlarged blood
vessels usually appearing on the cheeks.
- Nasal bumps or rhinophyma, making the nose look swollen and red.
This condition is more common in men.

Dr. Christopher Hubbell offers
the latest in the treatment of Rosacea. "Several prescriptions are
available both topically and orally that can reduce the number of pimples
and control Rosacea, and can be used either alone or in combination,"
says Dr. Hubbell. "One of the most exciting treatments however is using
a laser to treat this redness. Lasers, such as the pulsed dye laser selectively
targets the enlarged blood vessels and acts to clear the redness of Rosacea."
While Rosacea cannot be cured, it can be controlled. "Early
treatment can lessen and get rid of symptoms, and help to stop the disease
from progressing," says Hubbell. "The most important step is to
see a dermatologist early on to begin a treatment regimen."
