Learn more about who gets rosacea, the causes, common treatments and how long it takes to treat rosacea.
Rosacea can be experienced by nearly anyone, though several patterns emerge when looking at risk factors. Women are much more likely to deal with rosacea than men, and it's most commonly seen in people with lighter skin tones. Interestingly, having blonde hair and blue eyes is a risk factor as well. As for age, rosacea most often occurs in people who are 30-50 years old.
There isn't an exact known cause for rosacea quite yet, but there appears to be a genetic and environmental component. Rosacea can be triggered by and connected to a number of things including consuming hot beverages like tea and coffee, eating a lot of spicy foods, the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the intestines, and more.
Rosacea fortunately has a number of treatments that can help ease the condition. From avoiding your triggers (often things like alcohol and sun exposure) to caring for your skin well, there are things you can do at home to help.
However, if you're looking for relief from your rosacea quickly and dependably, Elias Dermatology is here to help. Options for treating rosacea can include light therapy, laser treatment, and even some medications. We're here to help you find the right, most effective treatment path for you so you can go back to looking and feeling like the best version of yourself as quickly as possible.
How long your rosacea will take to respond to treatment will depend on your specific case and the treatments you try. Results typically won't appear for at least two to six weeks, so patience and adherence to the plan you and your doctor put together is crucial.

Skilled, professional and compassionate. I was recently treated by Felicia with the CoolTone device by CoolSculpting. There was no wait when I arrived.
I was treated with concern and respect. My privacy was first in line. The wait was short which is another concern for me. The doctor and trainee were friendly and professional. They did what they had to do and I left.
