Face Up To Rosacea

Galderma Launches Online Support to Empower and Equip Rosacea Sufferers to Discuss the True Burden of Their Disease With a Dermatologist

New 'Face up to rosacea' campaign comprising online content and a
downloadable, personalized patient appointment guide, equips people
living with the distressing skin disease to seek expert support to
help break the cycle of rosacea and aim for long-term treatment
success

Lausanne, Switzerland (ots/PRNewswire) - Launched today,
Galderma's new Face up to rosacea campaign aims to help close the
communication gap between people with rosacea and dermatologists. A
one-stop shop for online rosacea support, the campaign website -
www.faceuptorosacea.com - enables people that have been diagnosed
with rosacea to create and download a personalized appointment guide,
helping them open up about the physical and emotional burden rosacea
can cause and drive conversations about long-term treatment success.

Rosacea is a disease which is estimated to affect around 415
million people worldwide.1 It's a visible condition often
characterised by symptoms such as flushing, persistent erythema
(redness), and inflammatory lesions. Galderma's research has revealed
that the impact of invisible symptoms such as stinging, burning and
emotional distress, can be underestimated by healthcare
professionals.2

"During your next appointment, help the dermatologist fully
understand what is bothering you specifically about your rosacea,
both physically and emotionally," says Dr. Linda Stein-Gold, Division
Head of Dermatology at the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan, USA.
"Every one of our patients is unique and going through a different
rosacea journey; the more we understand about your personal journey,
the more tailored a treatment plan we can create with you. We are
here to support you and get the results you want!"

The Face up to rosacea website guides the user through a series of
questions relating to their individual signs and symptoms, how their
rosacea makes them feel and what treatments they have used in the
past, before creating a personalized appointment guide for the user
to take to their next consultation.

Recognising the importance of transparency between people with
rosacea and dermatologists, Face up to rosacea aims to give patients
the confidence to speak out about the true impact of their disease,
enabling dermatologists to better understand each person's individual
needs. "Galderma is committed to advancing rosacea patient care. By
listening to the views of rosacea sufferers and healthcare
professionals (HCPs) from around the World we identified an
opportunity to support the patient-HCP dialogue in a really tangible
way. The new patient appointment guide has the potential to truly
