<\/strong>Avoiding alcohol and spicy food can help reduce the symptoms of your rosacea.
\nAlcohol dilates your blood vessels and spicy foods stimulate the receptors in your skin, leading to additional redness of your skin that makes your rosacea more noticeable. <\/p>\n
<\/strong>Avoiding histamine-rich foods can help reduce inflammation and redness.
\nBe careful because histamine is often found in healthy foods!
\nHere are some examples of histamine-rich foods to avoid: <\/p>\n\n
<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Foods with positive and anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Despite dairy often being seen as a potential trigger, foods from this product group can sometimes actually help reduce inflammation and strengthen your skin barrier.<\/p>\n
Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil and flaxseed oil, have anti-inflammatory properties.
\nThey can help reduce skin irritation and improve your skin condition, especially with ocular rosacea. <\/p>\n
Although this may sound surprising, drinking four or more cups of coffee a day can help reduce your rosacea symptoms.
\nThis is because the antioxidants in coffee are anti-inflammatory. <\/p>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Find a diet that suits you<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Every person with rosacea reacts differently to foods.
\nFoods that trigger rosacea symptoms in one person may not do so in another.
\nKeeping a food diary can help you discover which foods aggravate your rosacea symptoms. <\/p>\n
Avoiding certain foods can be challenging within certain cultures and social circles.
\nFind a balance that suits your lifestyle and allows you to control your rosacea symptoms. <\/p>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n
What can the skin therapists at The Laser Clinic do for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nAt De Laserkliniek in Groningen and Heerenveen, we can treat your rosacea effectively.
\nWe look at specific characteristics of your skin to determine which treatment we apply.
\nWe often combine several treatments for the best results.
\nBasically, good daily skin care is important.
\nWith rosacea, we often say: less is more<\/em>.
\nThe basics usually consist of only three or four skin products: <\/p>\n\n

Possible treatments for rosacea at The Laser Clinic<\/strong><\/h3>\n
With a superficial medical microneedling treatment, we stimulate your skin’s repair process, strengthening it and reducing redness.<\/p>\n
We use LED therapy to soothe and strengthen your skin.<\/p>\n
Laser therapy gives very nice results for rosacea.
\nThe visible red blood vessels diminish, making your skin more even and calm.
\nThis treatment also works against demodex skin mites. <\/p>\n
A peel makes your skin renew itself faster, making it stronger and less responsive to triggers. This will give you a more even skin tone. For rosacea, we use mild PHA acids because stronger acids can act as triggers again.<\/p>\n
\nWe usually choose a unique combination of different techniques within one treatment for optimal results. For example, laser treatment with a mild peel or microneedling with LED therapy.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nBy being intentional about what you eat and paying attention to possible triggers, you can reduce the frequency and severity of rosacea outbreaks. <\/p>\n
\nThen make a no-obligation appointment with the skin therapists at The Laser Clinic. <\/p>\nWritten by dermatologist Francis Wu and skin therapist Manon<\/h6>\n
