Rosacea treatment
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition of the facial skin that runs in flare-ups and remissions. It usually begins with episodic flushing; over time persistent redness and dilated vessels appear, and in some patients papules and pustules follow. It is not a condition treated in a single session - it needs a plan spread over time, and consistency.
Skin with rosacea is hyper-reactive. It responds to temperature, stress, exertion, spicy food and alcohol - but also to skincare that is too aggressive. We therefore begin therapy by calming the skin and rebuilding the hydrolipid barrier, and often add treatments aimed at redness and vessels.
Together with the patient we identify the triggers that aggravate the condition, including dietary ones. Where it is justified we run the therapy alongside our dietitian, because for some patients adjusting diet makes the largest difference to how often flare-ups occur.
The order of stages matters more here than in most dermatological therapies. Overly aggressive active ingredients in skincare products or treatments performed on skin that has not been calmed first can aggravate symptoms rather than reduce them.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can rosacea be cured completely?
Rosacea is a chronic condition - the aim of treatment is to reach remission and hold it, not to cure it once. In most patients, consistently applied treatment durably reduces redness, closes dilated vessels and lengthens the periods without flare-ups.
How does rosacea differ from ordinary acne?
Common acne begins with blocked sebaceous glands and presents with comedones. Rosacea has no comedones - it is dominated by redness, dilated vessels and hyper-reactive skin, with papules and pustules appearing only in some patients. The two conditions require entirely different treatment and skincare.
How many laser sessions does it take to close the vessels?
We usually plan a series of 3–5 Nd:YAG laser sessions 4–6 weeks apart, with the number matched to how pronounced the vascular changes are. We assess the result about 3 months after the series ends, because skin remodelling takes months.
What triggers rosacea flare-ups?
The most common triggers are high and low temperatures, hot drinks, spicy food, alcohol, intense exercise, stress and sun exposure. Overly aggressive skincare also causes flare-ups - scrubs, harsh exfoliants and products containing alcohol. We establish your individual trigger list during the consultation.
Does diet affect rosacea?
For some patients, yes - which is why we run therapy alongside our dietitian where it is justified. Adjusting diet does not replace dermatological treatment, but in patients with a clear link between meals and flushing episodes it can meaningfully reduce how often flare-ups occur.
