At Vive Aesthetics & Wellness, we see plenty of patients who come looking to address redness or rosacea. Although rosacea is a common issue, many people misidentify it as acne or another skin concern. Confirming that you have rosacea is half the battle!
Thankfully, our skin experts not only help you understand your condition but also help you correct it. With our options for rosacea treatment in Marlton, NJ, you can achieve clearer, more even-toned skin.
Options for Treating Rosacea
We offer a selection of treatments that address rosacea at Vive Aesthetics & Wellness, and our team of experts helps you identify the best solutions based on your individual needs.
Broadband Light (BBL)
Broadband light, or BBL, uses quick pulses of broad-spectrum light to bypass the uppermost layer of the skin (the epidermis) and go deeper into the second layer, or the dermis. This is where pigmentation (melanin) and superficial blood vessels live. Once it passes through the skin, the light turns into heat, which binds to the melanin and superficial blood vessels that cause rosacea. As a result, the body breaks them down and flushes them away.
You have 2 different types of blood vessels: superficial and deep vessels. When our providers remove the superficial blood vessels, your body re-directs the blood to your deep blood vessels, which carry blood and nutrients to your organs, muscles, and other tissues.
The superficial vessels, which create the red appearance of rosacea, are a part of your circulatory system. By targeting some of the superficial vessels with heat generated from the BBL light treatment, we can cause the vessels to become damaged and break down. Once they break down, the redness of rosacea fades and inflammation decreases.
Chemical Peels
Another great option for rosacea treatment in Marlton, NJ, we offer chemical peels. For rosacea, we specifically recommend the VI Peel Purify Precision Plus or Any of the Face Reality Peels. These peels use a blend of active ingredients to gently remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and impurities from your pores, helping to reduce inflammation that can trigger rosacea. At the same time, they boost collagen and elastin production, leaving your skin healthier, smoother, and more youthful.
Whether from overproduction of sebum (oil), sweat, dirt, or environmental impurities, clogged pores can disrupt your skin’s natural balance and contribute to irritation and redness. This inflammation can trigger rosacea flare-ups in sensitive skin.
Chemical peels gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin, helping to clear clogged pores and remove dead skin cells that can contribute to congestion. Many peels also help regulate oil production, reduce the risk of excess bacteria or inflammation, and support smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Facials
While typically facials may seem like a luxury self-care treatment rather than something to actually improve your skin, they actually help reduce the redness that comes with rosacea.
Facials, like chemical peels, reduce inflammation by removing the pollutants and bacteria that clog your pores.
However, unlike chemical peels, facials use soothing methods to accomplish this with options like the HydraFacial with Rozatrol booster or SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel. The HydraFacial is a medical-grade facial that gently removes the pollutants that clog your pores and allows your skin to breathe and function better. After all, your skin is an organ.
Facials provide your skin the care it needs without using harsh methods. Our facials can address a variety of issues, like acne, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and more. However, just getting one facial will not do the trick.
To see a long-term change in your complexion, you need to implement facials as part of your regular skincare routine. We typically recommend receiving a facial about once a month to keep your skin healthy and clear.
Lifestyle Coaching
At Vive Aesthetics & Wellness, we take a holistic look at your skin – which means understanding what triggers your rosacea flare-ups and helping you find ways to avoid those triggers. Common rosacea triggers include:
- Heat
- Dairy products
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Cosmetic products containing fragrances, alcohol, or menthol
- Certain medications
Our team can help you identify your triggers and adjust your lifestyle choices so you can reduce the lasting redness and inflammation that occur with rosacea.
The Treatment Process
All of our treatments work a little differently, but you can expect our team to follow these general steps for rosacea treatment in Marlton, NJ.
Consultation
First, you meet with one of our providers for a direct consultation. They take the time to learn about your concerns, asking questions to gain a better understanding of your needs.
They also conduct a quick skin examination to observe the severity of your rosacea and the reactivity of your skin. They also ask about your health history, including medications you take, to identify possible underlying triggers for your rosacea.
This informs your provider about the best options for your care. They explain all your choices in great detail and answer whatever questions you may have. Then together, you select the best treatments to include in your care plan.
Treatment
All our rosacea treatments look a bit different, but one factor stays consistent between all of them: how our team prioritizes your care and safety. At Vive Aesthetics & Wellness, we want your time with us to be more than a science-backed treatment – it should be a holistic wellness and beauty experience that leaves you feeling confident in your skin.
We understand how rosacea can impact your self-image, since some of our providers have shared the same skin concerns. Now, with our years of expertise under our belts, we want to help our patients see the same beautiful and lasting results that we have achieved with our exceptional treatments.
Results
The timelines for your results will vary depending on your specific treatment plans and the severity of your rosacea, but you can expect your provider to talk over the details during your consultation.
No matter what services you include in your rosacea treatment in Marlton, your provider will talk with you about the importance of skincare for maintaining your results.
If you don’t know what skincare products to include in your at-home regimen, our team can help you with that as well! We have a variety of products that we offer through our skincare partners to help support your skin after you receive treatment for your rosacea.
Support Your Treatments with Medical-Grade Skincare
The best way to keep your rosacea in check is with medical-grade skincare products. While receiving in-office services for rosacea treatment in Marlton can reduce the appearance of redness and inflammation, using medical-grade skincare products during your at-home routine helps extend your results and support long-term skin health.
We compare caring for your skin to caring for your teeth – when you go to the dentist, you get a deep cleaning and an overall check-up. They confirm you have no cavities, and then you maintain your healthy teeth and gums by brushing and flossing every day. After all, going to the dentist doesn’t mean your teeth stop changing until the next visit. Keeping your teeth clean and healthy takes a little work every day.
The same logic applies to your skin. Your skin is an organ, and it needs a little work from you every day to keep it healthy, clear, and beautiful. That way, you can continue to enjoy the results of your rosacea treatments for months, or even years.
Common Rosacea Treatment Questions
We can’t fit all the information you need in just one blog. If you truly are curious about rosacea treatment, we encourage you to reach out to our team to learn if it’s right for you.
To get you started, here are the most common questions our patients ask us about rosacea treatment in Marlton, NJ, and their corresponding answers.
Are these permanent solutions for rosacea?
Unfortunately, rosacea is a chronic skin condition, meaning it cannot be completely cured. However, our options for rosacea treatment can reduce redness and combat symptoms when you do experience a flare-up.
Are any of these treatments painful?
No, none of our rosacea treatments are painful. Our chemical peels may cause mild discomfort as they exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, leading to gentle shedding over several days, but our team provides you with products and instructions to help keep your skin hydrated and comfortable.
How do you determine rosacea triggers?
We ask about your lifestyle, such as exercise, diet, stress, etc., and we have you track your daily routine and when you experience flare-ups. After some time, we look at the trends and try to find connections that could indicate triggers for flare-ups.
While we cannot completely change some of the triggers, like prescribed medications or genetics, we can find work-arounds that help limit the risk of flare-ups.
