How To Recognize And Treat Rosacea So You Can Get Back To Living Your Life

Options After Rosacea Flare-Ups

Once rosacea pimples have been cleared, there may still be traces of redness and dilated blood vessels that do not seem to fade. There are treatments that can reduce their appearance, but they are costly. For example, pulsed dye lasers and intense pulsed light lasers (IPL) can greatly improve the look of skin by diminishing the appearance of redness and blood vessels. IPL treatment often takes three to six sessions to produce results and can cost between $350 and $500 per treatment. A more affordable solution is to use mineral makeup to cover redness and blood vessels; mineral makeup is typically less likely than conventional makeup to irritate the skin. Apply mineral makeup in layers for additional coverage, and use a brush instead of rubbing it onto the skin with bare hands or a sponge to prevent irritation.
