IPL laser treatment is based on the use of polychromatic intense pulsed light, which covers the spectrum of visible and infrared rays. This technology allows for the treatment of various structural elements of the skin, effectively addressing a range of skin problems and imperfections. IPL laser treatment for capillaries, redness and rosacea is a quick and effective method for tackling visible dilated capillaries and redness caused by rosacea.

Furthermore, the IPL laser has a powerful antimicrobial effect, successfully combating the Demodex folliculorum mite, which lives in the skin’s hair follicles and is one of the main causes of rosacea. IPL laser treatment for capillaries, redness and rosacea reduces inflammation and erythema, leading to a significant improvement in the condition of the skin.

The IPL laser treatment for capillaries, redness and rosacea is usually carried out between October and May, when the skin is not tanned, in order to achieve the best results. Immediately before the procedure begins, the skin on the face is thoroughly cleansed, after which a clear contact gel is applied to the treatment area. This gel optimises the transmission of the pulsed light, which targets a specific area of the skin.

A light pulse is then generated, which targets skin imperfections. The treatment concludes with the application of a soothing cream and a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ or higher to protect the skin and minimise any potential side effects from sun exposure.

Immediately after IPL laser treatment for capillaries, redness and rosacea, you may experience a mild to moderate sensation of warmth and tightness in the skin, as well as minimal redness, which may last for several hours. You may also notice that pigmented lesions become darker and more prominent, although this usually subsides within a week. Vascular lesions may change colour or develop a slight scab.

To help your skin recover, we recommend washing with cold water and cleansing with a gentle, alcohol-free emulsion. It is also important to use moisturising creams and to ensure you apply sun protection with a high SPF to protect your skin from damage caused by the sun’s rays.

Firstly, a diagnosis of rosacea must be made by a dermatologist. If you have not yet seen such a specialist, we invite you to take advantage of the expert care available at Medcross Medical Centre. To ensure you receive the attention of our specialists, please book an appointment in advance by telephone or by any other means convenient to you.

It is important to know that rosacea is a specific medical condition for which there is still no definitive cure. However, there are many ways to reduce discomfort and improve the patient’s symptoms. If you suffer from rosacea and do not seek treatment under the supervision of a dermatologist, you risk your symptoms worsening and leading to significant cosmetic and health problems.

As part of a comprehensive approach, in addition to medication and cosmetic treatments, it is important to follow a healthy diet and adopt healthy habits, as well as to avoid factors that may worsen the condition. Do not hesitate to ask your dermatologist what further steps you can take to manage the symptoms and discomfort associated with rosacea.

Although there is no single treatment for rosacea and the condition cannot be completely cured, there are ways to alleviate and reduce the symptoms. We, the dermatologists at Medcross Medical Centre, recommend using a combination of treatment methods, alongside a daily skincare routine and a healthy diet. Among the most effective approaches are medical cosmetic therapy, antibiotics and IPL laser treatment.

Laser therapy is an innovative and painless solution for treating rosacea, which is becoming increasingly popular. This method not only relieves symptoms but also helps to reduce visible capillaries and redness, significantly improving the condition of the skin. If you have eye problems, your dermatologist may recommend adding eye drops as part of the treatment.

Treatment in the early stages of rosacea mainly involves avoiding factors that may worsen the condition of the skin. At this stage, it is essential to use specialised cleansers and washes, as well as dermocosmetics designed for sensitive skin. Following certain recommendations in daily life also plays a key role in managing symptoms.

The sun is one of the most significant factors that exacerbate rosacea. It is therefore recommended to use sun creams with a high SPF (30 or 50+) every day, in combination with appropriate seasonal clothing. These sunscreens should offer UVA and UVB protection, and it is important to apply them correctly – around 20 minutes before sun exposure – and to reapply them every 2–3 hours. The variety of products on the market allows for individual choice according to personal needs, with creams, lotions, powders and tinted moisturisers available.

As well as the sun, other factors can also worsen the condition of the skin in cases of rosacea. For example, hot foods and drinks, such as hot coffee, tea or soups, should be avoided and consumed only when cooled. Alcohol, particularly red wine, is also one of the factors that can exacerbate the symptoms of rosacea and should therefore be excluded from the diet.

Staying in countries with a hot climate, as well as exposure to steam, using saunas and spending time in hot rooms, can also worsen the condition of the skin and should be avoided.

As far as cosmetics are concerned, products containing alcohol, menthol or eucalyptus oil are not suitable for patients with rosacea. Instead, it is advisable to opt for synthetic detergents (syndet-type cleansers) or cleansing gels. There are numerous cosmetic ranges available on the Bulgarian market designed for the care and treatment of sensitive skin affected by rosacea, such as Sensibio AR, Roseliane, Rosacure, Antirougeurs, Diroseal, Ruboril, Metroruboril, Rosaliac, Capillin and Isoteliane.

Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may be topical, systemic or a combination of both, with the aim of controlling and alleviating symptoms in order to improve the patient’s quality of life.
