Rosacea Treatment in Nashville, TN
Entrust your cosmetic experience to Dr. Harris and the Image Surgical Arts team of experienced professionals.
- In men, especially, the nose may start to look bulbous due to thickening skin.
- Pronounced eye irritation can cause redness, swelling or itchiness.
Rarely, rosacea can affect areas of the body beyond the nose and cheeks.
Medical professionals do not know what causes rosacea, and there is no cure. But please don’t worry, because we can help you take action to control symptoms and improve the health and appearance of your skin.
SOLUTION
Step 1: At-Home Skincare Regimen
At Image Surgical Arts, we treat rosacea gradually, depending on each patient’s skin condition. Here is an example of what our licensed aestheticians may recommend:
We start with a consultation so we can see your skin and hear about your symptoms, frequency of flare-ups and any other pertinent information. Then we recommend a personalized skin care protocol using one of two product lines we know are particularly helpful for rosacea – ZO Skin Health or Allumier. We will add new products carefully as your skin is already sensitive.
SOLUTION
Step 2: In-Office Treatments
After 30-45 days we will begin to add in-office treatments, again depending on each person’s skin condition. We may use:
- IPL (intense pulsed light)
- Yag laser treatment to address redness and vascularity
For patients with acneic rosacea, we use an IPL protocol. In some cases, we also use microneedling which helps to kill bacteria.
As each patient’s skin becomes stronger, we will add certain chemical peels and other, more advanced treatments based on what the skin can tolerate.
