Helen Sher Launches Her Rosacea Awareness Campaign 2009 to Help Sufferers of this Distressing Condition

To raise awareness about Rosacea, Dr Rajendra Sharma, Medical Director at the Diagnostic Clinic in London and Helen Sher, Founder of The Sher System, a drug-free therapy that has revolutionised the treatment of acne and rosacea have launched The Rosacea Awareness Campaign in the UK.

London (PRWEB) June 22, 2009 -- Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness and swelling on the face. Rosacea often begins as a tendency to flush or blush easily, and progresses to persistent redness in the centre of the face that may gradually spread to the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. It's upsetting for the sufferer, but help is at hand thanks to Helen Sher (http://www.sher.co.uk), a skincare guru with some 20 years experience treating the condition with remarkable results.

Approximately 1 in 10 people in the UK are thought to develop rosacea. Symptoms may first appear in your early 20s, but usually do not start until aged 30-60. Women are more commonly affected than men.

Signs of Rosacea

•    Flushing

Many people with rosacea suffered from frequent blushing or flushing. This facial redness may come and go, and is often the earliest sign of the disorder.

•    Persistent Redness

Persistent facial redness is the most common sign of rosacea, and may resemble a blush or sunburn that does not go away.

•    Bumps and Pimples

Small red solid bumps or pustules often develop. While these may resemble acne, blackheads are absent and burning or stinging sensation may occur.

•    Visible Blood Vessels

In many people with rosacea, small blood vessels become visible on the skin creating red patches all over the face.

The Rosacea Awareness Campaign is not only about education it is also offering alternative therapies to drugs.

The Sher System (http://www.sher.co.uk) is setting up a Rosacea Hotline on 00 44 (0)20 7499 4022 where individuals / suffers can get FREE one to one advice on how to care for their skin.

New clients will also get a free consultation in June and July for The Sher System at the Bond Street Clinic should they decide to purchase The Sher System treatment programme. Should you decide not to purchase the The Sher System (http://www.sher.co.uk) treatment programme a £75 consultation fee will apply.

If you can't make it to the clinic, its worth filling out the detailed questionnaire online - for £20 you receive feedback and an instructional DVD (you can order various programmes online as well) with the average cost of 'prescribed' products totalling £150 -£175.
