Rosacea/Redness

If your face blushes easily, is red, hot, or irritated, then you may have rosacea. We it is frustrating, and can hamper your self-esteem. Getting the right rosacea treatment can be life-changing. There are treatment options available.

First, what are the symptoms?

Red patches on the face, especially on the central part of the face
Visible facial blood vessels
Irritated, dry, hot and tender skin
Small, pus filled bumps (often mistaken for acne)

What causes it?

The cause of rosacea is unknown, but there is a strong theory that it is to do with the functioning of the immune system of the skin. The skin’s defenses are over-reactive, so it is often worsened by pollution, heat, stress, alcohol, caffeine, and spicy food.

What helps treat rosacea at home?

Use a gentle cleanser (and don’t double cleanse)
Avoid physical exfoliation
Cut down on alcohol, especially red wine
De-stress when you can
Wear SPF50 every day as UV rays can worsen it
Avoid spicy food

What rosacea treatments can we do in clinic?

Prescribe topical medications to calm the skin.
Prescribe oral antibiotics and in more severe cases, isotretinoin and alpha blockers (which can control flushing).
IPL laser treatments to reduce the redness – after a year of searching for the right bit of kit, we invested in the Sciton BBL as it is very effective at treating rosacea in a couple of sessions.

If you think you may have rosacea, or need help with your skin, please get in touch. We know it can be daunting – particularly if it is something you have struggled with for a while. But we’re here every step of the way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today, I had my first visit to Dr. Shannon at No. 23 Skin for acne treatment and was thoroughly impressed. This was my first time seeking professional help for my skin, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The clinic was very clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and professional, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I highly recommend No. 23 Skin to anyone struggling with acne or other skin concerns. The expertise and caring approach of Dr. Shannon and the team made a great first impression. I’m looking forward to seeing positive results and can’t wait for my next appointment. Thanks so much.
