A closer look at facial veins and rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic vascular and skin disorder that causes redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Symptoms often come and go. For some people, to feel rosacea appearing causes acute embarrassment which can make the condition look worse, or certainly feel so to the sufferer.
The reappearances can be caused by almost any number of conditions, such as sun and wind exposure, stress, hot weather, spicy foods, even a small intake of alcohol, and sometimes just moving from one temperature to another. These causes may vary enormously from sufferer to sufferer.
A treatment takes a little less than half an hour. There is certainly no pain, but more sensitive people may feel a mild amount of discomfort which is very brief. 
The treatment for the rosacea sufferer is called a 'fotofacial'. These fotofacials are performed with the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
Although IPL uses light, it is not a laser. The area affected by rosacea receives a series of pulses of light. Just how many of the pulses are applied, and the number of treatments, depends on the severity of the condition.
Worst cases would be treated with a maximum of five treatments, performed at three to four week intervals.
A treatment takes a little less than half an hour. There is certainly no pain, but more sensitive people may feel a mild amount of discomfort which is very brief. Usually, your skin would hardly notice that a treatment was underway. If anything is felt, the sensation subsides very quickly.
In the minutes following a treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed. Tiny capillaries and any sun-damage brown spots may appear darker. The changes fade almost immediately, or may take from a few hours to a day or two, depending on the sensitivity of the skin.
Initially, the treatment will begin a gradual decrease in the redness, and in the intensity of the flushing and dilating of capillaries.
Too much sun
If the skin suffers from visible ageing as a result of too much exposure from the sun, it becomes smoother. Fine wrinkles become shallower. Pore size is reduced and sun spots fade.
For rosacea sufferers, attacks or breakouts of the inflammation decreases and soon ends.
Rosacea is more difficult to answer if the form predominates in flushing and blushing. But the treatment does begin an immediate improvement, and people find that they no longer flush or blush so easily, and when they do it is markedly red much less severely than before, and passes much more quickly, too.
Another very satisfactory change that comes from the treatment is the end of the old discomfort that is felt by some when the cheeks flush.
With the first treatment, the skin feels smoother and develops a much more even tone. Of course, improvements are gradual and become more noticeable after each treatment.
Generally, for the best results between three and five treatments are necessary. Some people benefit from additional treatments.
