Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a rosacea facial treatment?
Depending on the skin condition and severity of symptoms, it is recommended to undergo a course of treatment (e.g., 3-6 treatments) and then have regular treatments according to the cosmetologist’s recommendation.
Is rosacea facial treatment painful?
The facial treatment is generally pleasant and soothing. Some products may cause a slight tingling sensation, but this is temporary.
When are results visible?
Initial results (reduction of redness, calming of the skin) are noticeable after the first treatment, but regular treatment and home aftercare are necessary to achieve lasting results.
Can I return to my daily activities immediately after the treatment?
Yes, the treatment does not require recovery time. The skin may be slightly red, but this subsides quickly.
Does the treatment also help with acne?
Although the symptoms of rosacea and acne can be similar, they are different conditions. This treatment is specifically for alleviating rosacea symptoms. For acne, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or choose the acne facial treatment pHFormula, which we also perform at Meliva.
