Rosacea Treatment with Neurotoxin Type A
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and episodes of facial flushing. In some cases, rosacea can also lead to inflammatory breakouts, skin sensitivity, and thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose. While there is no cure for rosacea, effective treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce the impact on skin appearance and comfort.
At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides neurotoxin type A therapy as an innovative approach to treating rosacea. This treatment works by relaxing overactive facial blood vessels and reducing the nerve signals that trigger flushing and redness. As a result, many individuals experience a reduction in visible redness, improved skin texture, and fewer flare-ups.
How Neurotoxin Type A Works for Rosacea
Neurotoxin type A is widely known for its ability to relax muscles, but it also has beneficial effects on skin vascular function. When injected in microdoses into the affected areas, the treatment helps to reduce facial redness and flushing by modulating the nerve signals that control blood vessel dilation. This process can decrease the frequency and intensity of rosacea-related flushing, making it an effective option for individuals who have not responded well to conventional treatments.
The procedure involves carefully placing small injections into the skin, targeting areas affected by persistent redness and dilated blood vessels. The treatment is well tolerated, with minimal discomfort and no significant downtime. Most individuals begin to see improvements within two weeks, with results lasting several months.
Neurotoxin type A therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other rosacea management strategies, including medical-grade skincare, laser therapy, and lifestyle modifications. A personalised treatment plan is developed based on the severity of symptoms and individual skin concerns.
