Would you be surprised to learn that The National Rosacea Society (NRS) estimates that 16 million Americans currently suffer from the signs and symptoms of rosacea? And this estimate does not even include the millions who may be in temporary remission! Dr. Jonathan Wilkin, chairman of the NRS medical advisory board, is quoted as saying that, “Although medical therapy and proper care have helped millions of Americans control the signs and symptoms of this disorder, the steady growth and aging of the population have raised the incidence of this chronic condition over the past decade.”
With the number of rosacea cases on the rise, the need for reliable relief from the condition has grown as well. Unfortunately, popular past treatment options have disappointed a number of patients today. However, this disappointment has created a new demand for rosacea treatments – a demand that your practice may be able to address.
Addressing Rosacea
Rosacea patients are often saddened to learn that there is no cure for this skin issue. Worse, many possible treatments are unreliable in their ability to provide relief. The #1 recommendation for patients is to identify their personal rosacea triggers and make lifestyle choices that help provide relief from said triggers. In the event of a flare-up, doctors are likely to prescribe a pill, gel or cream, or even antibiotics to address the cosmetic symptoms of the issue.
Unfortunately, these treatments are not always reliable, and without fast results patients are more likely to suffer from the emotional effects of living with rosacea – effects that have the potential to affect patients in their personal and professional lives. This lack in reliability, however, presents an opportunity for skincare professionals who have the ability to provide a less invasive, more convenient, and more effective treatment option for this growing segment of consumers.
When your practice is equipped with the Aerolase Neo, you can easily clear redness and address broken capillaries and larger vessels in one or two quick, gentle treatments – and can even do so without skin contact or with cooling gels. As a result, you can promise patients a clean, hygienic visit at your practice – and can even save a couple bucks when you no longer have to stock up on cooling gels on a regular basis!
The Neo’s versatility also means that it will be a useful tool for treating a range of skin conditions in addition to rosacea. To learn more about the Neo or its sister lasers, and to discover how it could benefit your practice’s bottom line and clients alike, we invite you to contact us and request more information or a demonstration.
