Rosacea
Find lasting relief from rosacea at The Skin & Face Clinic
Helping you control rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes, acne-like breakouts. It typically affects the middle of the face – your cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin; and of course it can significantly affect your self-esteem and comfort.
At The Skin & Face Clinic, we understand how challenging this can be; but there are answers. We offer a range of evidence-based treatments to help manage and minimise rosacea symptoms effectively.
Frequently asked questions
Rosacea forms from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It involves inflammation of facial blood vessels, leading to redness, visible capillaries, and sometimes pimples. Triggers include sun exposure, stress, certain foods, and temperature extremes.
Rosacea primarily affects adults, causing facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pimples without blackheads or whiteheads. Acne can affect any age and is characterised by blocked pores and cysts. Unlike rosacea, acne also usually features oily skin and a more variable set of blemishes.
Most rosacea treatments are relatively comfortable. Topical treatments and oral medications typically cause little to no pain. Some procedures, like laser therapy or intense pulsed light, may involve mild discomfort, which is usually well-tolerated and temporary.
There is no permanent cure for rosacea, but treatments will effectively manage and reduce your symptoms. With proper care and professional treatments, you can get control over flare-ups, minimise redness, and maintain clear, comfortable skin.
Above all, avoid triggers like spicy foods, alcohol, and extreme temperatures. Use gentle skincare products, apply sunscreen daily, and maintain a consistent skincare routine. Oh, and manage your stress levels! Your practitioner will be able to give you some personalised home care strategies.
Chemical peels
These simply involve applying a carefully formulated chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates outer layers and can also nourish the skin beneath. Our peels are tailored to each individual, and we would use a gentle peel on rosacea skin to reduce inflammation. We use a range of world-leading and clinically-validated peels.
LED therapy
A bright light therapy that is non-invasive and minimally intrusive, used to maintain overall skin health and address a range of skincare concerns over time. LED therapy can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the skin.
IPL treatment
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices emit specific wavelengths of light in order to target excess pigmentations in the skin.
