Lightbulb I can help

Hi,

I am a medical esthetician here in the atl area and it sounds as if you definately have rosacea, while it is incurable it is treatable. The first thing you need to do is recognize the triggers, look out for when it acts up, i.e. after taking a hot shower, eating spicy food, drinking alcohol, or heat, even from a cup of tea. When you recognize the triggers you can somewhat control them. If they dont flare uo and the caps are visible all of the time the best thing for you to do would to have an ipl treatment, intense pulse light, that will shut down those caps and make them less noticable or completely eliminate then altogether. You can also get a topical med from a derm. called finacea that has worked wonders for a lot of my clients. Please feel free to email me for more info, I love helping people w/ their skin when I can, My email is [email protected].

Good luck,
Christine
