About This Condition
What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. It most commonly affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, and tends to come and go in cycles. While it cannot be permanently cured, its appearance can be significantly managed with the right professional treatments.
Classification
Types of Rosacea
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea
Persistent facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels, particularly across the cheeks and nose.
Papulopustular Rosacea
Redness accompanied by acne-like breakouts including papules and pustules, often mistaken for adult acne.
Phymatous Rosacea
Skin thickening and irregular surface texture, most commonly affecting the nose (rhinophyma) in more advanced cases.
Root Causes
Rosacea Causes
Rosacea has multiple contributing factors. Understanding your triggers is a key part of effective, long-term management.
Genetics & Family History
Rosacea often runs in families. Those with fair skin, light eyes, or a family history are significantly more predisposed to developing the condition.
Abnormal Immune Response
An overactive immune response triggers inflammation in the skin, causing blood vessels to dilate and producing the persistent redness associated with rosacea.
Sun & UV Exposure
UV radiation damages blood vessels in the skin and triggers inflammatory responses, worsening facial redness and making rosacea symptoms more persistent.
Environmental Triggers
Extreme heat, cold, and wind cause blood vessels to dilate rapidly, leading to flushing and prolonged facial redness in rosacea-prone individuals.
Spicy Food & Alcohol
Alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine, and hot drinks all trigger vasodilation and flushing, causing visible redness and flare-ups in susceptible individuals.
Certain Skincare Products
Harsh cleansers, fragranced products, and alcohol-based formulas compromise the skin barrier, aggravating inflammation and prolonging redness in rosacea-affected skin.
Risk Factors
Who Is More Likely to Develop Rosacea?
The following individuals may be more at risk of developing rosacea.
- Fair-skinned individuals with light eyes or hair.
- Women aged 30 to 60 years old.
- Those with a family history of rosacea.
- People who flush easily in response to heat or emotion.
- Individuals with Celtic or Northern European heritage.
- Those with chronic or prolonged sun exposure.
Our Process
How Do We Diagnose Rosacea?

Visual Skin & Vascular Assessment , examining the degree of redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels across the face.
Trigger Identification & History , reviewing your lifestyle, skincare routine, and known triggers to understand your rosacea pattern.
Skin Sensitivity & Redness Grading , assessing skin sensitivity and grading redness severity to guide the most appropriate treatment plan.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes persistent facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. It is caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, abnormal vascular responses, and external or lifestyle triggers such as sun exposure, alcohol, spicy food, stress, and extreme temperatures.

Most patients notice visible improvement after 1 to 3 Lumecca IPL sessions, though this varies depending on skin type and severity.
