Rosacea dermatologist Frankfurt
If you suffer from rosacea, it is crucial to consult a dermatologist who is familiar with this complex skin condition. At our specialist practice in Frankfurt, we understand the individual needs of rosacea patients. We support you with state-of-the-art therapy options and a holistic approach.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea, also known as “couperose” or “redness”, is a chronic skin disease that often occurs in episodes and mainly affects the face. It is characterized by persistent redness, inflammation and can lead to visible changes in the blood vessels, skin thickening and even eye irritation.
Rosacea can have a considerable impact on the self-esteem and quality of life of those affected. The visible symptoms can cause people to feel ashamed and avoid social situations. It is important to note that rosacea cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be controlled and alleviated.
What causes rosacea?
Rosacea can often be triggered by so-called provoking factors, the reduction or avoidance of which is recommended. These include hot drinks such as coffee and tea, nicotine and alcohol, spicy food as well as heat, sunlight and physical exertion.
As rosacea specialists in Frankfurt, we recommend that our patients consciously address these triggers and develop strategies to control and minimize their rosacea symptoms. Our customized treatment plans and consultation services will help you find a holistic approach to managing your rosacea and improving your quality of life.
Demodex mite
Rosacea can be triggered by an inflammatory reaction caused in part by Demodex mites. People with a genetic predisposition can react excessively to these mites, resulting in an immune response that causes various skin changes. These include intermittent redness, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia), pustule formation and, in advanced cases, even a thickening of the nose (rhinophyma).
Rosacea treatment Frankfurt
In our dermatology practice, we offer customized treatment plans that combine modern laser technologies, medicinal approaches and skin care.
Rosacea laser therapy
The treatment of rosacea using IPL/VL flash light or Nd:YAG laser is a highly effective method that helps to reduce the visible signs of rosacea and improve the appearance of the skin. This innovative technique uses a laser to permanently obliterate dilated vessels so that they are permanently closed. Permanent facial redness can also be successfully treated using lasers. As a rule, 2-3 sessions are necessary.
With rosacea laser therapy, you can regain confidence in your appearance and reduce your symptoms in the long term. As leading specialists in rosacea laser therapy in Frankfurt, we have state-of-the-art laser equipment and an experienced team to provide you with safe and effective treatment.
Drug therapy
In addition to laser therapy, holistic treatment of rosacea also includes medicinal approaches. Prescription preparations can effectively reduce the inflammatory reactions or the colonization of the Demodex mite. As rosacea is a chronic disease, the therapy requires permanent or intermittent treatment. Drug therapies may include topical creams or gels with anti-inflammatory or antibiotic agents, while oral medications may also be prescribed in some cases.
Skin care for rosacea
In addition to drug treatment, regular and customized skin care is of great importance. Our team will be happy to give you tips on skin care to relieve your rosacea symptoms and support your skin health.
Lifestyle changes
Lifestyle changes also play an important role in controlling rosacea symptoms. This includes measures such as protection from sunlight by wearing sunscreen with a high sun protection factor and avoiding trigger factors such as hot drinks, nicotine, alcohol, spicy foods and heat. We will be happy to advise you in detail during our rosacea consultation.
