Treatments for Rosacea

[lu-B-lu]

I have a client who suffers with Rosacea and subsequently this has left her very self-concious. She's informed me she has tried all the 'over the counter' lotions & potions under the sun, with no avail.
Not being a skin specialist myself I couldn't offer her any advice as to how to go about dealing with it, but I would really like to help her find someone who can. I was hoping one of you lovely skin geeks could let me know which direction to point her in please? Is it a curable condition? If not, what steps can be taken to lessen the effects?

She could either see her GP and he could perscribe her some medication or creams, or she could maybe try laser.. I heard it is very helpful for people suffering from Rosacea.

I am by no means knowledgable in this area, but have recently been looking through my guild directory and noticed a machine called JET-M that I thought was very interesting, it uses air and water, with the options of add ins and is meant to help skin conditions such as achne etc, might be worth looking into?? hth x

My poor old mum suffers with rosacea and she keeps hers under control with medication from the docs. Avoiding alcohol, caffeine and cheese (?!) can help aswell.

I think you have to find what the trigger is for rosacea and avoid it!
