Rosacea (acne rosacea) is a chronic and often progressive inflammatory skin disease that causes redness and swelling of the face. There are four types of rosacea that are usually characterized by erythema and vascular dilation mainly on the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. Flushing and persistent facial redness, raised and visible blood vessels can also occur. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, although some common reasons are an overactive immune system, genetics and environmental factors. Rosacea is also associated with abnormalities of blood vessels (the vascular system), which is evident from the broken capillaries found on the face. It has been found that rosacea affects those with fairer skin rather than those with darker skin, as fairer skin is thinner. Rosacea flare-ups are provoked by excessive exposure to the sun, cold air, sudden transition from hot to cold, harsh skincare ingredients, spicy food, alcohol and stress. There is no current cure for rosacea, but the symptoms can be alleviated with the proper care and treatment.
Dr Margarita Vergolia suggests a comprehensive method to diagnose the problem of rosacea using VISIA, the most advanced medical-grade machine for skin analysis. VISIA imaging complexion analysis by Canfield Scientific System works in the simplest, yet most reliable way, providing an in-depth analysis of the skin. The results of the skin analysis are obtained immediately and are stored to build a personal dermatology history file.
Canfield Scientific System Visia imaging system captures multispectral digital photos of the face and provides an in-depth analysis of the skin’s surface and subsurface. It visually displays wrinkles, brown spots, areas of redness, pores, texture, porphyrins and UV exposure. The patient’s skin history is recorded with VISIA, along with valuable information which allows Dr Margarita Vergolia to prepare a personalized treatment plan.
Dr Margarita Vergolia proposes and builds a personalized treatment plan that includes various medical-grade tested treatments used to effectively combat rosacea. Using her experience and clinical scientific knowledge of skin and skin problems, she is able to treat ailments from mild to severe.
