What causes rosacea in Los Angeles?
The reason a person might develop rosacea is unknown. Although it is believed it could be a hereditary condition, there is still no known reason for what causes the initial development of the disease.
However, certain stimuli are proven to cause and worsen flare-ups in persons suffering from rosacea. Such as:
- The presence of a bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori
- The presence of a bacteria called Bacillus Oleronius
- Eating spicy food
- Eating cinnamaldehyde (an element commonly found in cinnamon), chocolate, and tomatoes
- Drinking tea and coffee
- Strong wind exposure
- UV light exposure
How does IPL Photofacial therapy work as a rosacea or broken capillary treatment?
One of the most common lasers used to treat these conditions is the IPL Photofacial laser.
This specialized laser emits a powerful light composed of a broad band of wavelengths. This light causes the blood from the broken blood vessels to coagulate, making the redness disappear as the body’s lymphatic system flushes it away. Furthermore, the IPL laser is designed to function without harming the skin or the tissues surrounding the application area.
