Rosacea and acne are two common skin conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. While they may appear similar with their red, blemished markings on the skin, understanding their distinctions is crucial for effective management. This post explores each condition, their symptoms, causes, and the promising treatment of bio-microneedling.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition primarily affecting the face, characterised by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red, pus-filled bumps. These symptoms can flare up for periods of weeks to months before diminishing. Rosacea is most common in middle-aged women with fair skin, but it can affect anyone.
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It leads to whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, predominantly on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Acne is most prevalent among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.
Understanding what the symptoms of acne and rosacea are is crucial in distinguishing between the two skin concerns:
The exact causes of rosacea and acne are not fully understood but involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Bio-microneedling involves using fine spicules which are extracted from a fresh water sponge, to create tiny punctures in the dermis and epidermisr of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen.
Bio-microneedling creates 3-5 Million micro-channels in the skin to speed up your skin cell turnover to 7 days (rather than the traditional 28 days).
For rosacea, this can help reduce inflammation and improve skin texture.
In the case of acne, bio-microneedling helps in reducing the appearance of scars and can also help in controlling the severity of future breakouts by regulating oil production in the skin.
Bio-microneedling has revolutionized the skin-needling industry by being the first treatment to be able to treat not only acne scarring but active acne!
Supporting professional treatment with lifestyle adjustments can be beneficial:
Rosacea and acne may look similar, but their causes, symptoms, and treatments are distinct. Understanding these differences is key to effective management. Treatments like bio-microneedling offer new hope for individuals striving for clearer skin.
