          How the Rosacea Program Work:

          The DLK on Avenue rosacea treatment program works in 3 easy steps, from assessment to the treatment itself.

          1
          Step 1: Medical Assessment by a Rosacea Dermatologist

          An assessment of the severity of your rosacea will be performed, along with a detailed skin and health history with a review of previous treatments and a thorough examination of your skin.

          Step 2: Individualized Rosacea Treatment Program

          After her expert assessment, Dr. Lisa Kellett will design an individualized rosacea treatment program using IPL for each patient, based on their needs, concerns, and the severity of their condition.

          Step 3: Rosacea Treatments at DLK on Avenue

          DLK on Avenue uses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy to treat rosacea by stimulating collagen production and remodelling the skin to reduce signs of redness and hyperpigmentation associated with rosacea. There is little to no downtime associated with IPL - meaning you can achieve an even skin tone safely and effectively.

          What Causes Rosacea?

          The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it most likely occurs due to an overactive immune system, along with hereditary and environmental factors such as:

          • Poor hygiene
          • Genes
          • Medications that dilate the blood vessels
          • Wind
          • Exercise
          • Sun
          • Spicy foods

          Rosacea occurs when blushing causes blood vessels in the face to flare up and become more visible, which can form pus-filled bumps and appear as acne. It most commonly occurs in women over 30 prone to the condition due to genetics.

          Rosacea Signs and Symptoms

          Some symptoms of rosacea include:

          • Facial blushing that is persistent
          • Visible small blood vessels, especially on the nose and cheeks
          • Swollen bumps that can resemble acne

          Rosacea Risk Factors

          There are very few risks associated with having rosacea, as it is more of an aesthetic concern. However, you may experience:

          • A burning sensation due to the sensitivity of the blood vessels being so close to the surface of the skin and the constant blushing
          • Vision problems associated with rosacea cause irritated eyes, swollen eyelids, and dryness around the eyes
          • An enlarged nose due to rosacea thickening the skin in the area

          Rosacea Treatment Options

          DLK on Avenue takes on an IPL-focused approach to treat rosacea concerns, but our experience in dermatology also gives us the opportunity to create a customized at-home treatment that you can practice after your IPL therapy or as part of your everyday skincare regimen.

          Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment

          IPL treatments use pulses of light to heat the skin, stimulating collagen production and remodelling. There is little to no downtime required as the outer layers of the skin experience no heat injury, making IPL safe and effective. 

          IPL therapy usually takes around 20 minutes and is a great way to tighten skin, reduce pores, control redness, and reduce the appearance of spider veins, age spots, scars, and blood vessels. This treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
