Rosacea Management Approaches

Rosacea can generally be categorized into two types: vascular rosacea, which arises from blood vessel issues, and reactive rosacea, which responds sensitively to external stimuli.

When fine capillaries are visible to the naked eye, it is referred to as vascular rosacea.

If you see fine capillaries on your face, treatments like V-Beam or Excel V

dedicated vascular laser treatments may be considered first.

These visible vessels are treated by coagulating them using heat, with the aim of reducing redness.

However, it is important to keep in mind that with these treatments alone, rosacea may reappear within 3 to 6 months.

Therefore, after vascular treatment, it is advisable to combine it with management that controls the skin's hypersensitivity.

Reactive rosacea primarily presents with 'flushing,' where the face easily reddens when exposed to external stimuli.

This phenomenon is not due to the blood vessels themselves being enlarged, but rather to their hypersensitive reactivity.

For this type of reactive rosacea, vascular laser treatments may not yield the desired effects or could even exacerbate redness by causing irritation.

In such cases, improvement can be expected through Microneedle RF (Needle RF) treatments, known by devices like Secret or Potenza.

There are several mechanisms by which Microneedle RF treatment contributes to rosacea improvement.

1. Dermal Regeneration Induction

Strengthening Skin Foundation

Microneedle RF delivers high-frequency energy to the dermal layer of the skin, promoting fibroblast activity.

During this process, the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid can be induced.

As dermal density increases and elasticity improves,

superficial blood vessels may react less sensitively to external stimuli, leading to a reduction in visible redness.

As the skin's foundation strengthens, it can help reduce excessive vascular movement.

2. Vascular Reactivity Regulation

Stabilizing Hypersensitive Vascular Responses

Reactive rosacea is characterized by excessive blood vessel dilation.

Microneedle RF stabilizes the smooth muscles around blood vessels through repeated thermal stimulation,

and by regulating the signal transmission of the hypersensitive autonomic nervous system, it can help alleviate flushing symptoms.

3. Inflammation Reduction

Alleviating Skin Inflammation

In skin affected by chronic rosacea, pro-inflammatory substances such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and VEGF can be excessively produced.

These substances promote vasodilation,

and can also stimulate melanin production.

This can ultimately lead to persistent redness of the skin.

Microneedle RF can utilize localized heat delivered to the dermal layer to suppress these pro-inflammatory substances and contribute to stabilizing chronic inflammatory rosacea.

4. Sebaceous Gland Function Improvement

Reducing Heat Sensation and Redness by Regulating Sebum Secretion

Excessive sebum secretion can increase skin temperature, leading to vasodilation, which can exacerbate rosacea.

Microneedle RF can help regulate sebum secretion by delivering thermal energy to the dermal layer around the sebaceous glands. Especially in cases of rosacea accompanied by oily skin, a simultaneous improvement in heat sensation and stinging can be expected.

5. Neurological Reactivity Mitigation

Regulating Redness-Related Neurotransmitters

When skin is stimulated, vasodilatory neuropeptides such as Substance P and CGRP can be released from sensory nerve endings. These substances can cause vasodilation, potentially worsening symptoms of redness, heat sensation, and stinging.

Consistent application of Microneedle RF treatment can help reduce the hypersensitivity of these nerve endings, thereby helping to control excessive redness reactions.

Skin redness due to flushing can have deeper causes than what appears on the surface.

This redness can be influenced by a combination of various factors, such as weakening of the dermis, hypersensitivity of the nervous system, chronic inflammation, or problems with sebaceous gland function.

For managing flushing, you might consider laser devices like Excel V or Vbeam, or procedures like Secret or Potenza Needle RF.

These procedures can help reduce surface discomfort or promote a healthier skin environment from within.

By appropriately combining various approaches, you can expect even more effective results in managing redness.

Beyond merely temporarily alleviating redness, improving the skin's internal environment itself can be crucial for long-term management.

Genesis Laser

- It can help stabilize blood vessels deep within the skin using micro thermal energy.

- By inducing collagen production, it can improve skin elasticity and have a positive effect on pore size.

- The recovery process after treatment is relatively short, allowing for little disruption to daily life, while also expecting both redness relief and improved skin texture.

Secret Needle RF

- It can help alleviate flushing symptoms by delivering thermal energy deep into the skin with micro-needles.

- By strengthening the dermal layer, positive effects are expected in stabilizing blood vessels long-term.

- You can expect various complex skin improvement effects, such as strengthening the skin barrier and reducing pore size.

Recommended For

• 1. Those who are concerned about facial redness.
• 2. Those who wish to improve rough skin texture along with flushing.
• 3. Those who desire long-term management by addressing the root cause of redness.

Treatment Advantages

• 1. You can expect the effect of redness relief in a relatively short time.
• 2. The recovery process after treatment is less burdensome, making it easy to return to daily life immediately after the procedure.
• 3. It is a comprehensive approach that not only manages redness but also strengthens the skin barrier, enhances skin elasticity, and positively impacts pore improvement.
