If you’re one of the estimated 14 million Americans with the skin condition called rosacea, you know how debilitating its symptoms can be. Rosacea, which usually emerges on the face, is characterized by redness, swelling, enlarged blood vessels, and acne-like pimples and bumps. The condition probably has a genetic component, for it tends to run in families. It’s also exacerbated by sun exposure.

There is no cure for rosacea, but its symptoms can be successfully treated. Laser therapy can remove unseemly blood vessels and reduce redness and flushing. Oral and topical medications, including antibiotics, can help control the acne-like symptoms. Without treatment, symptoms worsen and flare-ups become more frequent. So seek out the care of a qualified physician today. Call for a personal evaluation and to learn more about your treatment choices for this stubborn but very manageable skin disorder.

He is the most experienced cosmetic dermatologist on the US and one of the great minds of medicine. If you have a severe skin condition that requires cosmetic laser surgery he is the one to go to. I highly reccommend him. I am a physician and one of his many greatful patients for a lifetime of excellent work.
