The main triggers for rosacea include sun exposure, stress, hot weather, alcohol, spicy foods, and certain skincare products.
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment and severity of rosacea, but typically, noticeable improvement can be seen after 3-5 sessions.
Results can last several months, especially with proper skin care and trigger management. Regular maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain results.
Rosacea cannot be cured permanently, but its symptoms can be effectively managed with appropriate treatments and lifestyle modifications. This includes:
Certain foods and beverages can trigger rosacea flare-ups. Common triggers include spicy foods, hot drinks, caffeine, and alcohol. Keeping a food diary can help identify and avoid these triggers. Stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can also help control rosacea symptoms.
Using gentle, fragrance-free skincare products can help prevent irritation. Avoid harsh scrubs and exfoliants that can aggravate the skin. It’s also important to use lukewarm water when cleansing the face, as hot water can trigger redness.
Since sun exposure is a major trigger for rosacea, consistent sun protection is essential. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. Reapply outdoors every two hours, and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat for additional protection.
