Rosacea & Facial Redness

Rosacea is a skin condition that causes persistent redness, flushing, and sensitivity, often affecting the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. It occurs when blood vessels weaken or enlarge, leading to visible redness, irritation, and small thread veins (spider veins). In more severe cases, rosacea can cause thickened skin (Phymatous Rosacea), papules and pustules (Papulopustular Rosacea), or ocular rosacea, which affects the eyes.

 

Common rosacea triggers include genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, cold weather, and environmental factors. People with rosacea may experience stinging sensations, frequent blushing, and skin irritation. If left untreated, symptoms can worsen, leading to permanent redness and excess tissue growth. At The Aesthetics Doctor London, we offer rosacea treatments to reduce redness, strengthen capillaries, and calm sensitive skin. Using Alma Harmony laser therapy, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and vascular laser treatments, we target dilated blood vessels, restoring a clearer, smoother complexion with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Causes of Rosacea & Facial Redness

Rosacea develops due to vascular inflammation, weakened capillaries, and increased skin sensitivity. Genetics can make people with rosacea more prone to persistent redness and visible blood vessels. Sun exposure weakens blood vessel walls, increasing skin redness and irritation. Hormonal changes, such as those caused by pregnancy, menopause, or medical conditions, can worsen rosacea symptoms, leading to frequent blushing and patches of skin sensitivity.

 

Other contributing factors include ageing, which reduces collagen levels, making capillaries more visible and skin more prone to irritation and dryness. Lifestyle and environmental triggers, such as alcohol, spicy foods, extreme temperatures, and stress, can exacerbate rosacea flare-ups, causing long-term symptoms.

 

Without proper treatment, rosacea may lead to permanent redness, thickened skin, and persistent physical symptoms, making early treatment for rosacea essential.

Rosacea presents in different forms, each with unique symptoms and triggers. Identifying the type of rosacea is essential for choosing the most effective treatment approach.

 

Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR) – Causes persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and frequent flushing, often worsened by sun exposure, stress, and weather changes.

Papulopustular Rosacea – Often mistaken for acne, this type includes red bumps and pus-filled pimples, commonly affecting the cheeks and chin.

Phymatous Rosacea – Leads to thickened, bumpy skin, typically on the nose (rhinophyma), and is more common in men.

Ocular Rosacea – Affects the eyes, causing dryness, irritation, redness, and swollen eyelids, often leading to ocular rosacea flare-ups.

 

Understanding the type of rosacea helps us create a customised treatment plan, targeting redness, inflammation, and skin texture issues for the best possible results.
