Face
Rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps on the face. It often starts with occasional flushing, which may become more persistent over time. Symptoms can flare up for weeks or months and then subside. Rosacea can be easily mistaken for other skin conditions like acne or dermatitis.
What causes Rosacea
Rosacea occurs when overactive blood vessels in the skin, combined with heightened sensitivity, lead to persistent redness and the development of inflamed bumps.

Our Rosacea Solutions
After a consultation with our aesthetic doctor, these are various anti-Rosacea solutions that we offer
LASER THERAPIES
Laser treatment for rosacea uses focused light energy to target and reduce the redness and visible blood vessels associated with the condition. By treating targeted affected areas, laser treatments can help minimize flare-ups and calm the skin. These laser treatments can also promote collagen production, improving overall skin texture and reducing the appearance of thickened skin over time.
SKIN BOOSTERS
Skin boosters are designed to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, improving overall texture and soothing inflammation. These treatments can help to calm redness and promote skin regeneration, balancing moisture levels and enhancing the skin’s natural barrier. By delivering deep hydration, skin boosters help to improve skin tone, reduce irritation, and restore a smoother, more even complexion.
EXOSOME-BASED TREATMENT
Utilizing exosomes, vesicles enriched with growth factors, to soothe inflammation and support skin healing. By targeting cellular rejuvenation, it calms redness, strengthens the skin's barrier, and improves its resilience. This treatment enhances overall hydration and elasticity, making it an ideal choice for sensitive skin prone to flare-ups, reducing the visible symptoms of rosacea over time.
Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin can help manage rosacea symptoms by calming facial redness and flushing. The treatment works by modulating the nerve signals that control blood vessel dilation, reducing the visible redness and inflammation associated with rosacea. Additionally, it may help minimize sebaceous gland activity, which can improve overall skin texture and reduce flare-ups. This approach is particularly effective for persistent redness and chronic vascular symptoms, providing a smoother and more balanced complexion with consistent treatment.
Rosacea Myths
Rosacea is caused by poor hygiene.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition influenced by genetics, environmental factors, and immune responses, not a result of poor cleaning habits.
Rosacea can be cured.
While there is no cure for rosacea, it can be managed effectively with treatments and lifestyle adjustments to reduce flare-ups.
You can’t exercise with rosacea.
While intense exercise might trigger a flare-up due to heat and sweating, moderate exercise is typically safe and can help reduce stress, which is beneficial for managing rosacea.
Rosacea is contagious.
Rosacea is not contagious. It cannot be spread through contact or sharing personal items, as it is not an infection.
Rosacea is the same as acne.
While rosacea can resemble acne, especially with red bumps and pustules, it is a different condition. Rosacea doesn't involve blackheads, and it primarily affects facial redness and sensitivity.
Having rosacea means you have to avoid all sun exposure.
Sun exposure should be minimized, but it doesn't mean avoiding the sun entirely. Using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and limiting exposure during peak hours are key strategies to prevent flare-ups.
Rosacea causes permanent scarring.
Although rosacea can cause skin changes, including thickening in severe cases, it does not always lead to permanent scarring. Early and consistent treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent long-term damage.
Rosacea will go away once it’s treated.
While rosacea can be managed effectively with proper treatment, it is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management. Flare-ups can occur if triggers are not avoided or if treatment is stopped.
Rosacea can be cured by avoiding triggers alone.
While avoiding triggers is important for managing rosacea, it is usually not enough to control the condition.
