How to Use Soolantra to Minimize Recurrence

If you want to reduce the recurrence of rosacea or Demodex mite overgrowth while using Soolantra, it’s essential to follow a consistent and effective routine. The following guidelines are based on:

1. Recommendations from experienced dermatologists worldwide.
2. Official instructions provided by the manufacturer of Soolantra.
3. Practical insights from our offline case studies.

Improper use often leads to higher recurrence rates compared to proper, continuous application. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Always Apply Soolantra Across the Entire Face

Demodex mites can move between follicles. Applying Soolantra only to affected areas may drive the mites to untreated areas, causing further spread. Full-face application ensures comprehensive coverage and effective treatment.

2. Stick to the Full Course Without Interruption

Consistency is key. A typical treatment course lasts about 3–4 tubes of Soolantra, depending on the severity of the condition. Skipping days or stopping prematurely can lead to the development of mite resistance, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

3. Cleanse Your Face Every Morning

Demodex mites are most active at night, laying eggs at the follicle openings. In the morning, it’s crucial to wash your face with a gentle cleanser, preferably one with antibacterial properties, to remove mites and debris.
Avoid skipping this step, even if your skin feels sensitive or dry. Proper cleansing sets the foundation for effective skin recovery.

4. Apply Soolantra Only at Night

Soolantra is most effective at night because Demodex mites are closer to the skin’s surface during their active period. Applying it during the day has little impact since mites burrow deeper into the skin.

5. Manage Flare-Ups with Repairing Products

During the initial treatment phase, some people experience a “die-off” effect, where the death of mites leads to temporary redness or irritation. This is a positive sign that the treatment is working.
Do not stop applying Soolantra during this phase. Instead, use soothing and repairing products to help your skin recover while continuing the treatment. Stopping at this stage can worsen the condition.

6. No Need to Build Tolerance Before Starting

Some people delay starting Soolantra or use very small amounts to “build tolerance” and avoid flare-ups. This is unnecessary and often counterproductive. Follow the standard recommended dosage right away to achieve faster and more effective results.

Consistency Is Your Best Defense

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the chances of recurrence and improve the effectiveness of Soolantra. Remember, patience and persistence are key to successful treatment. Always consult your dermatologist or healthcare provider before beginning or modifying your routine.

Stay consistent, trust the process, and give your skin the care it deserves.
