Rosacea
Living with rosacea in Edmonton’s fluctuating climate can be a challenge. Whether you struggle with frequent flushing, visible blood vessels, or skin sensitivity, a "one-size-fits-all" approach isn't enough. At Ariana Esthetic, Dr. Sara Hashemzadeh provides physician-led, customized treatment plans that target the root cause of redness to soothe irritation and restore long-term skin health.
Understanding Rosacea: More Than Just a Flush
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the central face. Without professional intervention, symptoms can worsen over time. We specialize in treating the core signs of rosacea, including:
Persistent Facial Redness (Erythema): Background redness that doesn't seem to go away.
Visible Blood Vessels (Telangiectasia): Tiny "spider veins" or broken capillaries, usually around the nose and cheeks.
Flushing & Heat: Sudden warmth and redness triggered by environmental factors or stress.
Papules & Pustules: Small, red bumps that are often mistaken for traditional acne but require different medical care.
Our Advanced Vascular Solutions
We use light-based technology specifically calibrated to target the hemoglobin in dilated blood vessels, closing them safely without damaging the surrounding skin.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial
Our primary tool for diffused redness and flushing. IPL emits precise pulses of light that are absorbed by the redness in your skin, causing the overactive vessels to gently collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body.
Best For: Overall facial redness and evening out skin tone.
Targeted Vascular Laser Therapy
For patients with distinct "broken capillaries" or visible red lines, we use targeted laser energy to pinpoint and eliminate specific vessels with high precision.
Best For: Spider veins around the nose, chin, and cheeks.
Comprehensive Management & Trigger Identification
Successful rosacea treatment goes beyond the clinic. As part of your care under Dr. Hashemzadeh, we help you identify common Edmonton triggers such as:
Extreme temperature changes (winter cold vs. indoor heat).
Sun exposure (UV rays are a leading cause of flare-ups).
Spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
Harsh skincare products that strip the skin barrier.

Medical-Grade Aftercare: We provide clinical skincare recommendations that strengthen your skin barrier to prevent future flare-ups.
Visible Results: Most patients see a noticeable reduction in redness and a significant improvement in skin comfort after just 3 to 5 sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can rosacea be cured?
While there is no permanent "cure" for rosacea, it can be exceptionally well-managed. Our treatments focus on removing existing redness and preventing the condition from progressing.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation of IPL as a light "rubber band snap." Because your skin may be sensitive, we prioritize comfort and use advanced cooling techniques during the procedure.
How long do results last?
With proper sun protection and trigger management, results can last for many months. We typically recommend a maintenance session once or twice a year to keep background redness at bay.
