We all get a little pinkness or a flushed look on our skin from time to time but if it is  permanently present and is accompanied by spotty outbreaks you may want to consider that you could have Roseacea.

In Brief:

Rosacea is a skin condition that is more often than not present in the central areas of the face in particular the nose cheeks and chin. It can range from a pink flush to very red and angry. Often associated with spots it maybe made worse by stimulants such as alcohol coffee or spicy foods.  It is very much related to dysfunction within the vascular system but fortunately responds well to a number of treatments. 

Treatments:

If the skin is spotty then topical gels containing an antibiotic can help. 

• SPF is a life saver and will reduce sensitivity and prevent further damage to the vascular system.
• Gentle Skin Care:
  • Avoid harsh products and adding in products that will reduce inflammation such as Niacinamide and improve barrier function will help to reduce sensitivity.
• Dermalux Phototherapy :
  • will reduce the inflammation in the skin and improve barrier function.
• Elos Skin rejuvenation: 
  • No better treatment has been found in the last decade to effectively treat the broken capillaries directly.  If we reduce the number of thread veins we  reduce the colour and heat to the skin. At the same time the Radio frequency helps to re build and strengthen the collagen to restore tissue fullness that will ultimately protect.
