"Peonies in the cheeks" doesn't always mean health.
Unfortunately, most of the time, redness in the cheeks confirms a skin condition called rosacea, which needs to be treated promptly.
Rozaceea
(visible redness of the face) and specific treatments
Who are we talking to?
Are you experiencing visible redness on your face? Whether it is stable, fixed or transient, especially in the centre, cheekbones and nasal pyramid? In advanced stages, pustular lesions and proliferative changes occur if treatment is not initiated quickly. Rosacea is a common skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, oedema and visible blood vessels. It usually occurs in adults aged between 30 and 60 and affects both men and women. Although the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, certain triggers such as spicy foods, alcohol and stress can aggravate the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing rosacea symptoms and preventing complications such as eye problems. At SKINMED®, our experts have several treatment options available, including topical or oral antibiotics, laser therapies, other minimally invasive therapies and lifestyle changes.
Why choose SKINMED® experts?
Because we at SKINMED® have embraced technological evolution and have the latest and most effective laser treatments available.
The vascular laser is that device that can selectively target haemoglobin (red pigment) in tissues, leaving surrounding areas unaffected. The laser wave penetrates the skin and the energy is absorbed only in the targeted areas, areas rich in haemoglobin.
Technological developments in the field of these devices now make it possible to treat both medical and aesthetic injuries and conditions that until recently could not be managed medically. Whether we are talking about incipient rosacea or even papulo-pustular rosacea, even granulomatous rosacea have effective therapeutic solutions in SKINMED®.

What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes visible redness of the face, fixed or transient, especially in the centre, cheekbones and nasal pyramid, where pustular lesions may appear, visible facial vessels, and in advanced stages may cause thickening of the skin. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing rosacea symptoms and preventing complications such as eye damage. The exact cause of rosacea is not known, but it is thought to be related to genetic and environmental factors.
Treatment options for rosacea in SKINMED®
Treatment options for rosacea include lifestyle improvement recommendations, topical (local) creams, oral medications, and the latest vascular laser therapies. Depending on the condition, the dermatologist will establish a treatment protocol, often including two types of vascular laser, to achieve the desired results in the shortest possible time. The total number of sessions and their frequency will be determined according to the type of pathology and its severity, and can vary from 1-3 sessions for small vascular lesions, such as telangiectasias, up to 6-8 sessions for more severe forms.

Module Dye VL platform Harmony is an innovative treatment that combines the effectiveness of a Dye laser with the versatility and increased safety of pulsed light devices for patients with rosacea and vascular damage or injury.
It works by photothermal effect at the target lesions, built-in cooling and the option of treatment on the move ensuring increased patient comfort with excellent results in a very short time.
The procedure requires no recovery time. Erythema and mild post-procedure oedema are considered normal, are of low intensity and transient. The patient can resume daily activities immediately after the treatment session without restrictions.

Laser Cooled LP Nd:YAG available on the platform Harmony offers an effective solution for treating rosacea, vascular lesions and visible veins. It is indicated for patients with any skin phototype (I-V), with a good safety limit for dark skin types.
Increased pulse duration allows deeper penetration, stronger heating and access to areas where shorter wavelength lasers do not penetrate.
Treatments last from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the type and number of skin lesions to be treated. The sensations experienced, of warmth and sometimes slight stinging, are perfectly tolerable and transient. Immediately after the procedure, there is a local reaction of redness, erythema, slight oedema, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours.

Frequently asked questions
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, initially transient, then fixed, in which pustular lesions may appear, visible facial vessels, and in advanced stages may cause thickening of the skin. It can also cause eye damage.
What causes rosacea?
The exact cause of rosacea is not known, but it is thought to be related to genetic and environmental factors. Triggers are stress, sun exposure, alcohol and spicy foods, and these can also aggravate rosacea symptoms.
What are the treatment options for rosacea?
Treatment options for rosacea include topical creams, oral medications and vascular laser therapy. Topical creams, such as metronidazole and azelaic acid, can help reduce inflammation and redness. Oral medications, such as antibiotics and isotretinoin, may be prescribed for more severe cases. Laser therapy can also be effective in treating redness and thickening of the skin. At SKINMED®, we have the most advanced vascular laser therapies available which we recommend to our patients in sessions of 2-4 sessions, every 2-4 weeks and choose to combine the different lasers to completely erase the signs of this condition and maintain the results for a long time.
Can rosacea be prevented?
Preventing rosacea involves avoiding triggers that aggravate symptoms, such as sun exposure and certain foods. Applying sunscreen and wearing sun-protective clothing can also help prevent rosacea.
Is rosacea a permanent condition?
Rosacea is a chronic condition and may require ongoing treatment to manage symptoms. However, with proper treatment and prevention, many people are able to improve the appearance of their skin and reduce the recurrence of rosacea, and new laser therapies are helping to restore the health and integrity of the skin without significant side effects. We embrace science and choose the latest technologies for the health and beauty of your skin!
