Rosacea, Broken Blood Vessels, Facial Redness

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition marked by facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, acne and edema, most commonly affecting the central face. Symptoms may flare in response to triggers such as heat, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, or exercise. This condition can be genetic and if uncontrolled can lead to chronic redness and hypertrophy of nasal skin, also known as rhinophyma. Treatment typically involves gentle skincare, prescription topical or oral medications, and pulse dye laser or intense pulsed light to control symptoms and improve appearance. Rhinophyma usually requires surgical and laser treatments to reduce excess tissue and sculpt the nose to a more natural appearance.

Rhinophyma is a progressive skin condition associated with advanced untreated rosacea. It presents as thickening, enlargement, and redness of the nose, leading to a bulbous, uneven appearance over time. Treatment focuses on reducing excess tissue, improving contour, and restoring a more natural look. Treatment options include surgical reshaping, laser resurfacing, electrosurgery, or dermabrasion. These procedures can significantly improve both appearance and nasal function, helping patients feel more comfortable, confident, and socially at ease.
