Cheeks, nose & chin

Most insurance and Medicare accepted
Rosacea is a long-term condition of the facial skin and its blood vessels. It tends to flare with triggers, and a mix of prescriptions and light treatment keeps it calm.
Signs to look for
Easy flushing, lasting redness across the cheeks, visible small blood vessels, acne-like bumps without blackheads, and stinging with new products.
Treatment options
Prescription creams or tablets for bumps and redness, and a list of your own triggers.
IPL or vascular laser for visible vessels and lasting redness, self-pay.
Questions we hear
Is laser for redness covered? Usually not. It is self-pay at $350 a session, typically three sessions.
Can rosacea affect the eyes? Yes. Gritty, red eyes can be part of it; tell us and we’ll coordinate with an eye doctor.
This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Results vary from person to person, and every treatment carries some risk. A spot that bleeds, grows quickly or looks unlike your others should be seen within days.
