Rosacea treatment in Wrocław

Rosacea is an indication for dermatological treatment in the case of persistent facial erythema, especially around the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. The disease often worsens under the influence of factors such as stress, temperature changes or sun exposure. The treatment aims to reduce inflammation, reduce redness and improve the patient’s comfort of life.

Dilated capillaries on the face, typical of rosacea, are another indication for therapy. Laser treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) effectively reduce the visibility of the vessels and improve the appearance of the skin. Combined with appropriate care and topical medications, the treatment effects are long-lasting.

Patients with rosacea often have papules and pustules that resemble acne lesions but are the result of chronic inflammation. Treatment includes topical anti-inflammatory preparations such as metronidazole or azelaic acid and, in more severe cases, oral antibiotics. The goal is to reduce the lesions and prevent recurrences.

In advanced stages of rosacea, overgrowth of the sebaceous glands on the nose may occur, leading to skin deformation (rhinophyma). Treatment includes laser therapy, dermabrasion or surgical removal of the overgrowths. Early intervention prevents the progression of the disease and improves facial aesthetics.

Rosacea can worsen under the influence of many external and internal factors. The most common include stress, temperature changes, intense physical exercise, hot drinks, alcohol and spicy food. UV radiation, wind or the use of aggressive cosmetics can also cause a worsening of symptoms. Identifying and avoiding these factors is a key element in controlling the disease.

Diet plays an important role in relieving the symptoms of rosacea. Avoiding products that can trigger skin inflammation, such as processed food, alcohol or caffeine, can bring improvement. Foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids are recommended, as they have an anti-inflammatory effect and support skin regeneration. Regular consultations with a dermatologist and dietitian can help develop a nutrition plan that supports therapy.

In addition to traditional treatment methods, modern dermatology offers advanced therapies such as laser therapy or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, which reduce erythema and telangiectasias. In more advanced cases, photodynamic therapy or the use of VEGF inhibitors, which reduce the hyperreactivity of blood vessels, can be considered. These innovative methods often give faster and longer-lasting results in controlling the symptoms of rosacea.

A consultation has no significant contraindications. Any limitations concern selected treatment methods (e.g. laser vs. a tan, isotretinoin vs. pregnancy) - we will discuss them once a diagnosis is established.

We match the therapy to the form of the disease: topical treatment, oral treatment and laser closing of the erythema; we discuss the triggering factors.

Diagnostic visits require no recovery. For treatments (e.g. laser) you will receive brief recommendations: sun protection, gentle care and avoiding high temperatures for a few days.
