Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes persistent facial redness, often triggered by sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, or genetics. It’s not just blushing—specific environmental factors or hormonal shifts can spark flare-ups, making your skin feel unpredictable. Many patients are surprised to learn that alcohol, hot beverages, or even certain skincare products can worsen rosacea symptoms. We identify these triggers to create a plan that calms your skin.
Rosacea Symptoms & The Areas It Affects
Rosacea shows up as redness, small red bumps, visible blood vessels, or sometimes eye irritation, often making your face feel warm or sensitive. These symptoms typically affect the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin, but can extend to the ears or neck in severe cases. Flare-ups can vary from mild redness to intense, acne-like bumps that persist without treatment. The visibility of rosacea can make social interactions feel challenging.
Adults Get Rosacea Too!
Many think rosacea is just “rosy cheeks,” but it’s a medical condition that often appears in adults, especially women over 30, and isn’t linked to hygiene or lifestyle alone. It’s not uncommon for patients in their 40s or 50s to develop rosacea, triggered by menopause, stress, or environmental factors. This condition can affect anyone, regardless of skin type or age, and often worsens without proper care.
Rosacea Won’t Go Away On Its Own
Untreated rosacea can lead to worsening flare-ups, permanent redness, or even skin thickening, such as rhinophyma on the nose, which requires advanced correction. Persistent symptoms can also cause eye discomfort or infections if untreated. The chronic nature of rosacea can make your skin feel out of control, impacting your daily life. Early intervention is key to preventing these complications and restoring an even complexion.
The Emotional Toll of Rosacea Is Significant
Rosacea’s constant redness and flare-ups can lead to embarrassment, self-consciousness, or anxiety, especially in professional or social settings where you feel everyone notices your skin. The need to cover up with makeup can be exhausting and disheartening. These challenges don’t have to define your confidence or limit your life. With our expert care, you can achieve calm, clear skin and rediscover your radiant self.
My team and I create customized treatment plans to calm your rosacea, reduce flare-ups, and restore an even complexion for good. Some patients respond well to short-term therapies, while others need a consistent, long-term approach. Regardless of your needs, we start with a thorough rosacea assessment to identify triggers and tailor solutions.
