What is rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by persistent redness and visible blood vessels on the face. It often presents with symptoms such as facial flushing, bumps, and pimples that resemble acne. Over time, rosacea can lead to thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose, and may cause eye irritation. The exact cause is unknown, but factors like genetics, environmental triggers, and certain lifestyle habits can contribute to its development.

Causes & triggers for rosacea

Genetic factors: Rosacea often runs in families, indicating a genetic predisposition.
Sun exposure: UV rays can damage blood vessels and worsen rosacea symptoms.
Environmental triggers: Extreme temperatures, wind, and humidity can aggravate rosacea.
Diet and lifestyle: Spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and stress can trigger flare-ups.
Medical conditions: Certain health conditions and medications can exacerbate rosacea.

Signs and symptoms of rosacea

Facial Redness: Persistent redness, usually in the central part of the face.
Visible Blood Vessels: Small, dilated blood vessels that are visible on the skin.
Thickened Skin: Particularly around the nose, leading to a more swollen appearance.
Burning or Stinging Sensation: Sensitivity or discomfort in the affected areas.
Red Bumps: Small red bumps or pustules that can resemble acne.
Eye Irritation: Watery or irritated eyes in some cases.

Tips to improve rosacea

Gentle skincare – Use cleansers and moisturisers that are free from emulsifiers, fragrances, and artificial colours, and seek professional advice to create the right homecare routine for your skin.
Sun protection – Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ helps prevent triggers and flare-ups.
Avoid triggers – Identify and minimise exposure to factors such as spicy foods, alcohol, extreme temperatures, stress, and other lifestyle factors that may aggravate your skin.
Professional treatments – Options like laser therapy and LED light treatments can reduce redness and visible blood vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Laser Skin Rejuvenation help with rosacea?

Laser skin rejuvenation targets the visible blood vessels and inflammation associated with rosacea. The laser energy breaks down the blood vessels, which are then reabsorbed by the body, reducing overall redness and improving skin tone.

What can I expect during an Environ Cool Peel treatment?

The Environ Cool Peel helps reduce inflammation and redness in rosacea-prone skin by using gentle AHAs that hydrate and soothe, while also improving the appearance of broken capillaries.

Can rosacea be completely cured?

While there is no cure for rosacea, it can be effectively managed with the right treatments and lifestyle adjustments. Regular treatments and avoiding triggers can significantly reduce symptoms and improve skin appearance.

How often should I get treatments for rosacea?

The frequency of treatments depends on the severity of your rosacea and your response to the treatment. Typically, treatments are recommended every 2-4 weeks. We will develop a personalised treatment plan based on your skin condition and needs.

Are these treatments suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, depending on your skin type and condition, we recommend a personalised plan to ensure safety and effectiveness.

What lifestyle changes can help manage rosacea?

Avoiding known triggers such as extreme heat and cold, spicy foods, and intense exercise, along with using gentle skincare products, protecting your skin from the sun, and managing stress, can all help manage rosacea symptoms.

How soon will I see results from these treatments?

Results can vary, depending on the severity of the condition and your skin response; however, many clients see improvement in redness and visible blood vessels after a few sessions. Consistency with your treatments, following your tailored homecare routine, and lifestyle adjustments are essential for achieving optimal, long-lasting results.

What are the side effects of these treatments?

Side effects are generally minimal but can include temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your skin recovery.

Can I wear makeup after treatments?

We usually advise to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after treatments. Mineral-based makeup may be recommended if necessary. Your practitioner will provide specific guidelines based on your treatment.

How can I maintain results between treatments?

Maintaining results involves protecting your skin from the sun, avoiding triggers, and staying consistent with your treatment plan and home care routines.
