Redness and Rosacea
Restore balance and calm your facial redness.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small bumps or pustules on the face. It often occurs on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, with symptoms that may flare up and subside over time.
Rosacea can vary in severity and is often triggered by factors such as sun exposure, extreme temperatures, certain foods, alcohol, and stress. It may start with increased skin sensitivity and a tendency to flush or blush easily, gradually progressing to more persistent facial redness. Our experienced team offers tailored solutions to reduce redness and calm inflammation.
Advanced solutions designed to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and restore your skin’s natural balance.
When to seek professional care.
If you’re experiencing persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, frequent flushing, or symptoms like burning, stinging, or acne-like bumps, it may be time to seek professional help for rosacea. Left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time and affect your skin's health and appearance.

Four different types of rosacea:
-
• This rosacea is usually the least severe. Like the other types, it may be accompanied by enlarged sweat glands, oiliness and/or dry and flaky skin.
• The skin may become sensitive with a burning and stinging effect when it comes into contact with make-up, sunscreens and other facial creams or by exposure to sun and/or hot and spicy food or drink (anything that reddens the face).
-
• This rosacea often includes raised red patches without changes in the surrounding skin.
• Even though rosacea used to be called ‘acne rosacea’ and shares certain similarities with acne, it is actually quite different. There are red spots and sometimes pus-filled pimples in both conditions, but in rosacea, they are dome-shaped rather than pointed and there are no blackheads, whiteheads, deep cysts, or lumps.
-
• This type is a more advanced case of rosacea, also called rhinophyma. The entire face including the eyelids, may become subject to swelling. Surface irregularities of the nose with prominent pores and fibrous thickening can occur.
• More common in men, rhinophyma is characterized by a bulbous, enlarged red nose and puffy cheeks. Thick bumps can also develop on the lower half of the nose and cheeks. This type of rosacea is relatively uncommon.
-
• This rosacea may involve a reddening of the eyes, a feeling of ‘grit’ in the eyes or crusting on the lashes and sometimes a clear discharge. The eyes may also become dry or teary with a burning sensation. Many with this condition mistakenly think they have allergies.
• When it first develops, rosacea may come and go on its own. When the skin doesn't return to its normal colour and when further symptoms, such as pimples and enlarged blood vessels become visible, dermatologic treatment should be sought. The condition rarely reverses itself and may last for years. Rosacea can become worse without treatment so early diagnosis and treatment is recommended.
