Dallas dermatologist Paul Bergstresser, M.D. has published information about rosacea treatment to his website. Although there is no cure for rosacea, a variety of rosacea treatment options are available that will reduce its appearance and prevent further progression. Rosacea can worsen and become more difficult to treat if left untreated.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and swelling of the face that can also affect the scalp, neck, ears, chest, and back. Patients can now find information about rosacea treatment from the person they trust most – their own dermatologist.
Dr. Bergstresser reviews treatment options, including oral and topical medications, laser and light therapies, and surgical procedures.
Laser therapy is an effective treatment for rosacea. It is used to shrink a bumpy or swollen nose, reduce persistent redness, or decrease the number of visible blood vessels (telangiectasias).
Dr. Bergstresser joins other Dallas dermatologists that use the Vivacare patient education service to help patients and the public in the greater Dallas area learn about their health and treatment options.
