Objectives: Rosacea represent a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease, with an increasing prevalence (generally underdiagnosed and often overlooked), and multiple risk factors (genetics, age, phototype, alcohol consumption and ultraviolet exposure).
The etiopathogeny of rosacea is unknown, but age, phototype, gender, alcohol consumption, genetics, ultraviolet exposure and infections (Demodex with Bacillus oleronius, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Helicobacter pylori) are strong involved in the development of the disease.
Introduction: Rosacea is frequently associated with systemic diseases (neurologic and cardiovascular disorders, diabetes and metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders) and have an important negative impact on quality of life (anxiety, depression, embarrassment, frustration, social and professional isolation etc.).
The triad of rosacea care are represented by education (about triggers factors, diet, proper use of photoprotection methods), skin care, and treatment (including local treatment and general treatment, and the use of EBD for rosacea treatment).
Materials / method: Laser treatment have a lot of effects, like ablation of vascular anomalies (destroy small vessels and reducing the symptoms), reorganization and remodeling of dystrophic dermal connective tissue and interruption of the release of inflammatory mediators.
Results: We present a scientific work, starting from clinical practice, about the implication of various triggers in development of rosacea (endocrinological, pharmacological, immunological, infectious, climatic, thermal and alimentary) and the management of rosacea (holistic approach), including general treatment and laser interventions.
Conclusion: My way, based on 15 years of experience in laser, are NOT laser treatment at the first visit, complex and holistic evaluation, changing the life style of patient (diet, sun exposure, skin care), proper local and general treatment, evaluation clearly of indications and contraindications for laser, and an individualized follow up.
