Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by persistent redness, sensitivity, and sometimes breakouts. Affecting approximately 1 in 10 people worldwide, rosacea involves an inflammatory response that leads to the overgrowth of capillary blood vessels near the skin’s surface. Although rosacea is a chronic condition with no cure, it is manageable with effective treatments tailored to soothe and control symptoms.
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that primarily affects the face, leading to redness and visible blood vessels. Often mistaken for acne, rosacea is distinct in its presentation and patterns. The condition is cyclical, with flare-ups alternating with periods of less noticeable symptoms.

According to the British Skin Foundation, rosacea is most common in individuals with fair skin, particularly those aged 40 to 60. The condition is more frequently seen in women, though men can also be affected. While rosacea can impact people of all skin types, those with lighter skin tones are generally at higher risk.
Who is Affected by Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic condition with no permanent cure, but symptoms are highly manageable through targeted treatments, allowing for clearer and calmer skin.
Treatment options vary based on individual needs and may include topical therapies, laser treatments, or lifestyle adjustments. A consultation will help determine the best plan for your skin.
Results can vary, but most patients see improvements within a few weeks of starting treatment, with ongoing benefits as redness and inflammation are reduced over time.
