Roseacea / Redness Reduction
Rosacea causes a range of symptoms, although not everyone will experience them all.
Rosacea is a medical condition where the veins in the face enlarge giving the face a red appearance. It typically begins after the age of thirty, though it can start before, as redness on the cheeks nose, chin or forehead which at first will just come and go but as time passes the redness tends to get darker and more chronic. Left untreated veins to start to become visible, bumps and pimples start to develop and in more severe cases the nose can become swollen and bumpy and the eyes irritated, watery and bloodshot.
Most people with rosacea have periods when their symptoms are particularly troublesome, followed by periods when their symptoms are less so.
The main symptoms of rosacea include:
- flushing
- persistent facial redness
- visible blood vessels
- papules and pustules
- thickened skin
If you have rosacea, you’ll likely have redness on your face at some point. The redness may show up as flushing that lasts a little longer each time. Without treatment for rosacea, this redness can become permanent. Another cause of permanent redness is visible blood vessels on the face.
No matter what the cause, you don’t have to live with the redness. We can create a treatment plan that is specific for you.
Your skin care products and even the way you wash your face may be contributing to the redness. Anyone who has rosacea needs gentle skin care and we can advise and educate you on a good skin care routine and put you on the best products to use to reduce the redness.

It has been designed to both reduce redness and prevent relapses, with powerful ant-imicrobial properties that kill the bacteria associated with rosacea.
