Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a common, long-term skin condition that mainly affects the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. It can cause persistent redness, flushing, visible thread veins and sensitive, reactive skin.

While there is no cure, rosacea can be very effectively managed with the right combination of professional treatments, skincare and lifestyle support.

The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but rosacea is linked to:

  • Dilated blood vessels
  • Inflammation and immune response
  • A weakened skin barrier
  • Genetics and environmental triggers

Common triggers include heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress, exercise and certain skincare products.

Rosacea can show up differently for everyone, but often includes:

  • Ongoing redness or flushing
  • Visible thread veins
  • Burning, stinging or sensitive skin
  • Dry, compromised skin barrier
  • Spot-like breakouts

Using the wrong treatments can worsen symptoms, which is why a personalised approach matters.
