What Is Rosacea
Rosacea most commonly affects the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. In the early stages, it may appear as occasional flushing or blushing that comes and goes. Over time, the redness can become more persistent and noticeable.
Many people with rosacea also experience:
- Visible thread veins (telangiectasia)
- Burning or stinging sensations
- Increased skin sensitivity
- Dry, rough or flaky patches
- Small red bumps or pustules resembling acne
- Episodes of facial warmth or swelling
Although the exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, it is thought to involve a combination of genetic factors, skin structure, immune responses and environmental triggers.
What Triggers Rosacea?
Identifying and avoiding personal triggers is an important part of managing rosacea. Common triggers include:
- Sun exposure
- Stress and anxiety
- Hot or cold weather
- Strenuous exercise
- Spicy foods
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Overheating
- Harsh skin care products
During your consultation at CJA Aesthetics, we will discuss your lifestyle, skin history and potential triggers to help reduce flare-ups and maintain longer-term control of your symptoms.
Laser Treatments for Rosacea
One of the most effective ways to treat persistent redness and visible blood vessels is with advanced laser treatment for rosacea.
Rosacea often causes the tiny blood vessels beneath the skin to become enlarged and permanently visible. Laser and light-based treatments target these vessels with carefully controlled pulses of energy. The energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to gradually collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body.
The benefits of laser treatments include that it:
- Reduces persistent facial redness
- Minimises visible thread veins and broken capillaries
- Improves overall skin tone and clarity
- Helps reduce the appearance of flushing.
Most clients notice a gradual improvement after a course of treatments, with skin appearing calmer, clearer and less reactive. The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of the redness and the extent of visible blood vessels.
Our skin specialists will assess whether laser treatment is suitable for your rosacea and create a personalised treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
Improve Rosacea With Microneedling
For suitable clients, microneedling can help improve the texture and resilience of rosacea-prone skin.
This advanced treatment uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. As the skin repairs itself, it produces new collagen and elastin, helping to strengthen the skin barrier and improve overall skin quality.
Benefits include:
- Improved skin texture
- Enhanced skin repair and regeneration
- Increased collagen production
- Better absorption of professional skin care products
- Reduction in uneven skin tone associated with mild rosacea
Treatments are performed under strict medical hygiene protocols and are carefully adapted for sensitive skin types.
Perfect Peel for Mild to Moderate Rosacea
If your rosacea is mild to moderate, we may recommend a carefully selected chemical peel, such as the Perfect Peel, to gently exfoliate the upper layers of the skin.
Unlike aggressive peels that may irritate sensitive skin, professional rosacea-friendly peels are chosen to:
- Remove dull, damaged surface cells
- Smooth rough or flaky skin
- Brighten the complexion
- Prepare the skin for targeted active ingredients
- Improve the appearance of post-inflammatory redness.
Chemical peels are always prescribed following a detailed skin assessment to ensure they are appropriate for your skin’s sensitivity level.
