Do You Struggle with Flushing and Skin Redness? It May Be Rosacea

Persistent flushing, redness, and visible blood vessels on the face could be more than just a cosmetic concern—they may indicate rosacea, a common and chronic skin condition. Rosacea often manifests as episodes of flushing across the face, neck, and sometimes even the body, triggered by factors like stress, changes in temperature, exercise, alcohol, and spicy foods. In addition to redness, rosacea can resemble acne with small pimples and bumps. Without treatment, this condition may lead to more pronounced blood vessels, potentially affecting areas around the eyes and nose. Diagnosing rosacea early can make a big difference in managing symptoms.

Our Approach to Rosacea Treatment

At our clinic, we focus on building a foundation for your skin health with gentle, medical-grade skincare designed to restore the skin’s natural barrier. Our curated selection includes brands such as Obagi, ZO Medical, and Skin Better Science. We start with soothing, reparative skincare to calm the skin and may then move on to advanced treatments like hydrating skin boosters and microneedling to enhance skin resilience and vitality.

Prescription Treatments

As a medical-led clinic, we offer prescription-grade solutions that help reduce rosacea-related inflammation and redness. Options include:

    • Azelaic Acid:Helps alleviate redness and inflammation.
    • Topical Ivermectin and Metronidazole Creams:Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial creams that control rosacea flare-ups.
    • Mirvaso:A topical treatment to manage facial flushing.

Advanced Laser Treatments for Redness and Visible Veins

For reducing blushing, flushing, and visible capillaries, we recommend combining BBL (BroadBand Light) therapy with ClearSilk Laser for a comprehensive approach. This combination provides both immediate and lasting improvements in skin clarity and texture.

BBL Therapy

BBL is a gentle, non-invasive light therapy that warms the upper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and diminish redness. By targeting broken capillaries and visible veins, BBL improves overall skin tone and texture.

Clear V Laser

Ideal for more pronounced blood vessels, Clear V offers a focused approach for areas with more visible veins, reducing their appearance effectively and safely.

ClearSilk Laser

ClearSilk uses micro-pulses of laser energy to treat widespread redness and enhance skin texture. Many patients find it relaxing, with a gentle warmth as the laser moves over the skin. Safe for all skin types, ClearSilk is designed to provide a radiant, glowing complexion that improves with each treatment.

Expected Results

Results can be noticeable after the first treatment, with reduced redness and less frequent flushing. However, for optimal results, we typically recommend a course of three treatments, followed by maintenance sessions to manage rosacea over time.

Treatment Options and Pricing

  • Course of Three Treatments (BBL and Clear Silk Combination): €1,200
  • Single Session: €450
  • Consultation with our Doctor €120

Rosacea is a long-term condition that benefits from ongoing care. In addition to our treatments, we recommend patients avoid common triggers such as hot showers, steam rooms, spicy foods, alcohol, and direct sun exposure.
