Rosacea Skin Specialist in Athens, GA
Dermatologist for Rosacea
What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face. It causes redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-like breakouts. This shared concern can significantly impact a person’s confidence and comfort. While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, triggers like sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can worsen symptoms. If left untreated, individuals with rosacea may experience facial flushing, bumps, and thickened skin.
At Georgia Dermatology, we understand that every case of Rosacea is unique. Our expert dermatologists are committed to providing personalized care to help you effectively manage and reduce symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Rosacea
- Rosacea symptoms vary by individual, but the most common signs include:
- Persistent facial redness, particularly on the cheeks, nose, and forehead.
- Small, red bumps that resemble acne but lack blackheads or whiteheads.
- Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) appear on the face
- Eye irritation, including dryness and redness (ocular rosacea).
- Thickened skin, particularly on the nose (rhinophyma), can occur in severe cases.
Recognizing these symptoms early is key to receiving adequate treatment and preventing flare-ups.

Personalized Treatment Plans
We understand that no two cases of rosacea are the same. Our team creates individualized treatment plans that may include prescription creams and gels to reduce inflammation and redness, antibiotics, or other oral treatments to control bacterial involvement and reduce flare-ups. Laser therapy can also target visible blood vessels to minimize redness and improve skin texture. Patients will also receive guidance on identifying and avoiding personal triggers, such as certain foods or environmental factors.
Advanced Laser and Light Therapies
Our clinic offers advanced laser therapy options, such as intense pulsed light (IPL) and vascular lasers, to target persistent redness and visible veins. These treatments effectively diminish blood vessel visibility and reduce facial flushing.
Expert Skincare Recommendations
Proper skincare is an essential part of rosacea management. Our dermatologists recommend gentle, non-irritating products specifically formulated for sensitive skin to help reduce irritation and improve skin health.
