Description
What is Mirvaso Gel?
Mirvaso Gel is a medication that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erythema (redness on the face) that is caused by rosacea. It comes in form of a gel that should be applied directly to the affected skin. If you have rosacea, you know how frustrating the condition can be. The redness, inflammation, and other symptoms can be difficult to deal with on a daily basis. It works by reducing the redness and inflammation associated with the condition.
How Does Mirvaso Gel Work?
Mirvaso is a medication used to stop redness on the face. It works by narrowing the blood vessels near the surface of the skin and blocking the action of certain enzymes that are involved in the inflammation process thus helping to reduce the redness and flushing symptoms. Mirvaso comes as a cream that is applied to the skin once daily. For best results, it should be used as part of a comprehensive skincare routine that includes gentle cleansers and moisturizers designed for sensitive skin. Patients should also avoid triggers that can cause flare-ups, such as sunlight, wind, hot weather, and spicy foods. If flare-ups do occur, Mirvaso Gel can be used as needed to help reduce the redness quickly.
