Condition
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and occasional flare-ups that cause sensitivity and irritation. Unlike temporary flushing, rosacea-related redness is progressive and can worsen over time.
Common triggers include sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, hot beverages, extreme temperatures, and stress. These widen blood vessels, leading to redness and flushing that becomes more permanent over time. Since rosacea-prone skin is highly sensitive, certain skincare products, harsh exfoliants, and fragrances can further irritate the skin.
A weakened skin barrier can make the skin more susceptible to irritation, leading to persistent redness and heightened sensitivity. Over time, the skin’s tiny blood vessels (capillaries) become enlarged, making redness more noticeable and difficult to fade.
Rosacea and chronic redness are caused by a combination of inflammation, vascular sensitivity, and environmental triggers. The condition leads to persistent facial redness, visible veins, and occasional flare-ups, affecting the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.
While rosacea is not curable, it can be effectively managed with targeted treatments that reduce inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and minimize flare-ups.
At Image Clinic, we use advanced therapies to calm redness, strengthen capillaries, and restore a healthier, more balanced complexion.
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that results in blotchy redness, visible blood vessels, and heightened sensitivity. Unlike general skin irritation, rosacea is a progressive condition that can worsen over time without proper treatment.
There are four main types of rosacea:
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR) – Persistent redness and visible blood vessels, often triggered by heat, stress, and alcohol.
Papulopustular Rosacea – Redness accompanied by pimple-like breakouts, often mistaken for adult acne.
Phymatous Rosacea – Thickened skin with enlarged pores and rough texture, most commonly affecting the nose.
Ocular Rosacea – Red, irritated eyes with visible blood vessels on the eyelids.
At Image Clinic, we take a customized approach to treatment, ensuring the best possible results for each rosacea subtype.
