Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red, pus-filled bumps. While its exact cause is unknown, it can significantly impact a person’s confidence and quality of life. At Aesthetic Visual Result, we specialise in treatments designed to help manage your symptoms and improve your skin’s appearance.
Causes & Symptoms
Rosacea is a multifactorial condition, with several triggers that can exacerbate its symptoms. Common causes and triggers include:
- Genetics: A family history of rosacea increases your likelihood of developing it.
- Environmental factors: Sun exposure, wind, and extreme temperatures can worsen symptoms.
- Dietary triggers: Spicy foods, alcohol, and hot beverages are known triggers for many sufferers.
- Stress and emotional factors: Stress and anxiety can lead to flare-ups.
- Demodex mites and bacteria: An overpopulation of Demodex mites or the presence of certain bacteria on the skin may contribute.
Symptoms can vary but often include:
- Persistent facial redness, particularly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin.
- Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia).
- Swollen bumps that may resemble acne.
- Eye irritation or sensitivity, also known as ocular rosacea.
- Burning, stinging, or dryness of the skin.
Impact
Rosacea can have a profound emotional and psychological impact. Many sufferers report feelings of embarrassment or self-consciousness due to visible symptoms. This can lead to social anxiety, a reluctance to engage in activities, or avoidance of certain environments that may trigger flare-ups. Left untreated, this condition can worsen over time, making early intervention key.

Tips & Advice
Protect your skin from the sun: Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Identify and avoid triggers: Keep a diary to track flare-ups and identify what exacerbates your symptoms.
Use gentle skincare products: Avoid harsh scrubs and irritating ingredients. Opt for products designed for sensitive skin.
Manage stress: Practice relaxation techniques, such as mindfulness or yoga, to reduce stress-related flare-ups.
Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help maintain healthy skin.
This condition cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be effectively managed with the right treatments and lifestyle adjustments.
Rosacea typically affects the face but may occasionally extend to the neck, chest, or scalp.
Most patients notice improvements after 3-5 sessions, though individual results may vary.
Our treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Patients often describe Morpheus8 as a slight stinging or pinching sensation on the skin.
Using heavy or irritating makeup can aggravate your symptoms. Opt for non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic products.
