Rosacea
Soothe the Redness—Regain Control of Your Complexion with Dermapen 4™
Rosacea involves chronic inflammation and vascular reactivity, leading to persistent flushing, visible capillaries, and sometimes papules or pustules. While there’s no definitive “cure,” Dermapen 4™ can help reduce the appearance of redness by reinforcing the skin’s structural integrity and modulating angiogenesis (blood vessel formation).
Common Rosacea Indicators
- Central facial redness, often in a “butterfly” pattern
- Dilated or broken capillaries
- Papulopustular lesions, resembling acne
- Thickening of the skin in advanced cases (phymatous rosacea)
How Dermapen 4™ Helps
- Vascular Normalization: Microneedling supports healthier blood vessel networks, helping to reduce flushing and visible telangiectasia (broken veins).
- Strengthened Dermal Layers: With repeated sessions, your skin’s barrier function improves, increasing its resilience to triggers.
- Reduced Inflammatory Cycling: By promoting collagen renewal, the skin becomes less reactive to environmental stressors and lifestyle triggers.
Ideal Protocol
- Recommended Sessions: ~4–6 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, to allow the skin ample recovery and build resilience.
- Avoiding Triggers: Spicy foods, extreme temps, and red wine may still irritate. A gentle skincare regimen between treatments is key.
What You’ll Notice
- Gradual decrease in persistent redness
- Fewer papules/pustules and more even texture
- A calmer complexion that’s less prone to flare-ups
Calm the Redness!
Rosacea: Advanced Science Notes
Advanced Science of Vascular Regulation & Rosacea Relief
- Inflammatory Skin Disorder: Rosacea involves chronic inflammation and dysregulation of cutaneous blood vessels (telangiectasia). Triggers (e.g., spicy foods, heat, alcohol) exacerbate erythema and visible capillaries.
- Microneedling Benefits: By creating controlled micro-injuries, Dermapen 4™ can help reorganize and stabilize capillary networks, promoting a calmer, more even complexion.
- Growth Factor Release: Microneedling encourages the release of factors that aid in angiogenesis regulation, reducing excess vascular proliferation that underlies rosacea’s redness.
- Barrier Repair: Chronic inflammation weakens the epidermis; repeated sessions fortify the dermis-epidermis junction, making skin more resilient to rosacea triggers.
- Adjunct Therapies: A gentle, anti-inflammatory topical regimen (e.g., products with niacinamide or soothing botanicals) can help extend periods of remission.
