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.

I have had age spots for as long as I can remember. One visit to Dr. Shamban's office and my skin never looked so good, so smooth and naturally beautiful. I have returned for the Thermage, which tightens my skin, botox that I will never live without now. No more wrinkles on my forhead. I feel refreshed and rested looking all the time. Thank you so very much, Tracy
