Ggeuthan Clinic Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea can primarily be classified into two types: vascular and reactive.

Vascular rosacea refers to redness where fine capillaries are visibly prominent to the naked eye.

For rosacea with such visibly thin capillaries, treatments like Vbeam and Excel V are

vascular laser procedures that can be considered first.

In these cases, an important treatment approach is to address the fixed vascular structure through direct thermal coagulation.

However, if only this procedure is performed, it's important to consider that there's a high possibility of redness reappearing within 3 to 6 months.

Therefore, after addressing the dilated blood vessels, it is necessary to concurrently manage the skin's hypersensitivity.

Reactive rosacea exhibits a 'flushing' pattern where the face easily turns red with any stimulus.

This means that rather than blood vessels being structurally dilated, it signifies a state where vascular sensitivity is excessively heightened.

For such reactive rosacea, the effects of vascular lasers may be limited, and occasionally, they might even cause irritation, worsening the redness.

In this case, Microneedle RF (Needle RF) procedures, known as Secret, Potenza, etc., can be considered.

The principles by which Secret RF treatment helps improve redness can be explained in several ways.

1. Dermal Regeneration Induction

Improves the internal structure of the skin, making it healthier.

Needle RF delivers high-frequency thermal energy to the dermal layer through micro-needles, and this heat stimulates fibroblasts.

As a result, the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid can be induced.

This contributes to increasing dermal density and improving elasticity.

Consequently, superficial blood vessels become less sensitive to external stimuli, and may appear less prominent to the naked eye.

As the skin's foundation becomes stronger, the tendency for blood vessels to easily dilate or constrict decreases.

2. Vasomotor Regulation

Stabilizes the overly reactive movement of blood vessels.

Reactive rosacea is characterized by blood vessels that are particularly prone to dilation.

Needle RF helps stabilize the smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels through repeated high-frequency thermal stimulation.

This action helps regulate hypersensitive autonomic nervous system signals, contributing to the alleviation of sudden facial flushing symptoms.

3. Inflammation Suppression

It works to calm chronic inflammatory responses within the skin.

In skin where rosacea has persisted for a long time, inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and VEGF may be excessively secreted.

These can dilate blood vessels,

induce melanin pigment production,

and consequently cause persistent redness.

Needle RF can help calm chronic inflammatory rosacea by reducing the activity of inflammatory mediators through localized thermal action in the dermal layer.

4. Sebaceous Gland Stabilization

By regulating sebum secretion, it contributes to alleviating skin heat and redness.

When sebum is excessively secreted, skin temperature rises, which can easily dilate blood vessels and worsen redness.

Needle RF treatment can help appropriately regulate sebum secretion by applying heat to the dermal layer around the sebaceous glands. Especially for individuals with oily skin and rosacea, there is a possibility of simultaneous improvement in heat sensation and stinging/burning.

5. Neurological Hypersensitivity Regulation

Regulates the response of neurotransmitters that cause redness.

When the skin receives external stimuli, vasodilator neuropeptides like Substance P and CGRP are released from sensory nerve endings. These substances widen blood vessels, promoting redness, heat sensation, and stinging/burning.

Repeated Needle RF treatments can help reduce the excessive reactivity of these nerve endings, contributing to a decrease in unnecessary redness responses.

Facial redness, or flushing, means more than just a visible phenomenon.

Beneath the skin, multiple complex factors can be at play, including a thinned dermis, hypersensitive nervous system responses, recurrent inflammation, and sebaceous gland dysfunction.

Excel V, Vbeam lasers, and Secret, Potenza needle RF treatments can help address these issues.

These treatments work to reduce surface concerns while simultaneously improving the skin's internal environment.

When these two approaches are harmonized, it can help reduce the recurrence of redness.

While improving visible symptoms is necessary, fundamentally improving the skin's environment is a crucial part of managing redness.

Genesis Laser

Micro thermal energy can be delivered to the deep layers of the skin, contributing to the stabilization of hyperactive blood vessels.

It can also stimulate collagen production, positively impacting skin elasticity and pore improvement.

After the treatment, you can expect reduced redness and improved skin texture with minimal disruption to daily life.

Secret Needle RF

Through micro-needles, thermal energy is directly delivered to the dermal layer of the skin, which can help alleviate redness symptoms.

By strengthening the dermis, it can contribute to long-term vascular stabilization.

Synergistic improvements can be expected for various skin concerns, including enhanced skin barrier function and pore reduction.
