Vein Centers of Connecticut Offers New Product for Rosacea Patients

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- New Britain, CT and Madison, CT - The Vein Centers of Connecticut added SkinMedica's Redness Relief CalmPlex to its product line as a way to participate in Rosacea Awareness Month.

March has been designated Rosacea Awareness Month by the National Rosacea Society to increase public awareness of rosacea and to spotlight the warning signs of this widespread but little-known condition.  An estimated 16 million Americans suffer from this widespread but poorly understood disorder. In a National Rosacea Society survey, nearly 70 percent of rosacea sufferers said this condition had lowered their self-esteem, with many reporting embarrassment, anxiety and even depression.

"Our partner, SkinMedica, Inc., www.skinmedica.com recently introduced Redness Relief CalmPlex™, a non-prescription product clinically proven to reduce visible redness, said Dr. Wanda Kirejczyk, Vein Centers of Connecticut.  "National Rosacea Awareness Month is the perfect time for us to do this for our aesthetics customers".
