This condition, which can mimic acne and is often called Acne Rosacea, usually occurs in middle aged adults, but may occur in teenagers or older adults. Redness of the face is usually evident, and there may be “pimple-like”

spots. A high percentage of the cases treated in our practice not only improve, but achieve total clearing.
