What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that results in facial inflammation and redness. Rosacea classically presents underlying redness, facial flushing, visible capillaries and sensitivity. There are several stages of rosacea, more severe symptoms may include those mentioned as well as acne-like bumps (papules and pustules), a bulbous nose and irritation of the eyes.

At Avenue Advanced Skin Care we see many clients that suffer from Rosacea. We understand that skin care is not just about improving skin health but also about improving self-confidence.

What Causes Rosacea?

We emphasise the importance of ongoing management of Rosacea, which also includes identifying and avoiding certain lifestyle triggers. A number of factors can aggravate rosacea by dilating blood vessels and therefore increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin. These can include:

Hot food or beverages

Spicy foods

Dairy foods

Alcohol

Temperature extremes

Sunlight

Stress, anger or embarrassment

Strenuous exercise

Hot baths or saunas

Oral and topical corticosteroids

Drugs that dilate blood vessels such as blood pressure medications

Inappropriate use of skin care products such as facial creams and oils

Each person’s rosacea has its own unique characteristics and features. Because of these differences, the available treatments for rosacea are not one size fits all. Treatment needs to be tailored to the severity of scarring rosacea present, and the ability to avoid lifestyle triggers
