A Caring Rosacea Specialist with Experience: Dr. Geoffrey Nase is a Rosacea Specialist and Consultant
for Rosacea Consulting Specialists LLC in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Dr. Nase was a rosacea sufferer for many years. He was plagued by
severe facial flushing, blushing, swelling, inflammatory papules, skin
hyper-sensitivity, burning sensations, and an endless number of rosacea
triggers. Dr. Nase has successfully stopped the progression of his
severe rosacea and has reversed it to the point where he is
normal. Dr. Nase is very active in Rosacea Research, Rosacea
Treatments, Rosacea Developments and Consultations.
What is a Rosacea Specialist? By the strictest definition, a "Rosacea Specialist" is a person who has advanced training in human physiology (how the body works under normal conditions) and pathophysiology (how it works in diseased states) from an accredited University School of Medicine. This person must have expertise in skin anatomy and function, blood vessels, nerves and skin receptors. This person must also have completed a specialized Post-Doctoral Fellowship or Residency at a University School of Medicine. Lastly, this person must focus most of his research, clinical testing, and/or publishing on rosacea to be considered a rosacea specialist. Dr. Nase has fulfilled all the above criteria.
Co-Investigator in Rosacea Clinical Study, Grant & Rosacea Patent Dr. Nase performed one of the first in-depth clinical studies on the effect of Photoderm on rosacea symptoms. He was co-investigator with Dr. Patrick Bitter, Sr. a Dermatologist and Laser Specialist for the Institute of Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, in California, USA. Dr. Bitter and Dr. Nase demonstrated that after 5 Photoderm treatments most rosacea symptoms were significantly reduced or completely cleared (57 rosacea patients were randomly selected for this clinical study):
Dr. Nase and Dr. Bitter then published their clinical results and techniques in a medical textbook, "Lasers in Aesthetic Surgery". Bitter, P., Sr. and Nase, G.P. "Skin Rejuvenation for Sun Damage, Aging and Rosacea using Intense Pulsed Light." Lasers in Aesthetic Surgery. Thieme Medical Publishers, 2000, pgs. 351 - 357.
Dr. Nase and Dr. Patrick Bitter Sr. also patented a novel topical to increase the effectiveness of laser treatments and to reduce facial redness: "Topical
Phenylephrine Rosacea Treatment"
A near-permanent skin treatment includes photothermolysis of reddened facial skin to induce ischemia. Reperfusion of the photothermolysis treated skin is inhibited by following with regular applications of phenyl-epinephrine carried in a lotion until vascular necrosis is complete. Alternatively, a temporary treatment for reddened facial skin includes only cosmetic as-needed applications of phenyl-epinephrine carried in lotion to induce vaso-constriction in Rosacea and other similarly embarrassing skin disorders. Rosacea Publications in Dermatology Journals Dr. Nase also publishes and reviews medical articles on rosacea. He has recently published five in-depth articles on rosacea, four rosacea reviews (in process), and one book on rosacea pathogenesis, triggers and treatment:
Dr. Nase has been invited to write for Dermatology Times on all aspects of rosacea including rosacea treatment, causes and latest advancements. Additionally, Dr. Nase is submitting three detailed articles,"The Latest Advances in Rosacea Treatment", "Rosacea and Neuropathic Facial Burning: A Disabling Combination that Affects Quality of Life", and "Red Eye: The Latest Treatments for Ocular Rosacea" to Clinical Therapeutics: The International Peer-Reviewed Medical Journal of Drug Therapy. He felt it was extremely important to publish articles in top-notch International Journals that would reach physicians all across Europe including the United Kingdom, Scandanavian Countries, New Zealand and Australia where the rosacea rates are soaring and the medical care is severely lacking.
Peer Review Editor for Three Rosacea-Related Journals: Over the last five years Dr. Nase has been recognized for his expertise in the field of rosacea; he was selected to be a Peer-Review Editor for several major medical journals:
Not only does this enable Dr. Nase to influence rosacea content, but it allows him to stay on the cutting-edge of rosacea developments, learning about treatments 10 to 12 months before the publication even hits the stand. Dr. Nase's biomedical credentials & resume

Maibach, H.: "Book Reviews", Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology: Vol. 2; Issue 3, pg. 217, 2003 Below is a brief excerpt taken from Dr. Maibach’s review of Dr. Nase’s book on “Beating Rosacea ": Beating Rosacea: Vascular, Ocular and Acne Forms: A Must-Have Guide to Understanding and Treating Rosacea.” G. Nase. Indianapolis, IN: Nase Publications, 2001. "This is a highly personalized approach to Dr Nase's studies on rosacea. He covers everything from triggers to side effects, recipes, and effects of rosacea on depression. It is written in a style that is clearly compatible for the lay reader." -- Howard I Maibach -- Dermatology Expert "Your textbook, “Beating Rosacea” is superb. It is by far the best researched and best written book to date on rosacea. You are a dedicated scientist who has made great strides in advancing the knowledge about rosacea and related vascular disorders. All physicians should have a copy of your book on understanding and treating rosacea. I am recommending your book to all of my patients. I look forward to working with you on many new and exciting rosacea projects in the near future."
-- 2005 Book Review
on “Beating Rosacea”
“I
have found this book very helpful indeed and many of my patients have
found it invaluable as a reference text. Geoffrey Nase's contribution
to the Acne Rosacea knowledge base is impressive. I ended up buying a
second copy because my first one was well worn and frequently loaned
out.” -- Dr Peter Crouch, M.D. -- Rosacea Specialist/Laser Specialist, United Kingdom
"I have never seen so much information on rosacea treatments in one place. I have a new motivation to treat the vascular nature of rosacea and try to listen more closely to my patients' complaints about flushing episodes and trigger avoidance. I am now treating rosacea more aggressively with oral medications listed in your book such as anti-hypertensive meds, sympathetic nerve blockers, isotretinoin and anti-inflammatory antibiotics. Most patients have experienced significant improvements with your treatment suggestions and some look to be rosacea-free. I just ordered several copies of your book for my office and colleagues. You are providing an invaluable service. Please add me to your email list so that I may be kept abreast of any new rosacea treatments in the near future. Thank you." -- 2005 Book Review on
"Beating Rosacea" -- Rosacea Specialist, USA
“Your book is exceptional. Your treatment section has helped me treat all aspects of rosacea, including rosacea triggers.”
-- 2004 Book Review on “Beating Rosacea” -- Dr. Michael Edwards, M.D. -- Dermatologist, USA
“Dr. Nase's detailed treatment approaches have led to much more effective treatment regimens for rosacea flushing, redness, papules and triggers.”
-- 2004 Book Review on “Beating Rosacea” -- Dr. J. Dietz, M.D. -- Dermatologist, USA
"We are seeing more and more rosacea patients each month. Several of my patients have brought your book into my office. I finally purchased your book specifically for the treatment section. We are now treating our rosacea patients with the newer macrolide antibiotics, accutane, naproxen and refer patients to see laser specialists. This has resulted in significant symptom clearance in most of our patients. We appreciate the time and effort that it must have taken to organize and detail rosacea treatments for both physicians and patients. As a physician, I appreciate the medical references and excerpts from clinical studies. Please add me to your list of physicians so that we may be notified of any new rosacea treatments, especially pertaining to the treatment of flushing."
