We offer rosacea treatments based on consultations with you to find the best option. If rosacea is not treated, you can develop solid red bumps and pus-filled pimples. The disorder can also cause the nose to take on a bulbous, swollen appearance which is called rhinophyma. It can also affect the eyes, causing them to feel irritated and to appear bloodshot or watery.
The majority of individuals who suffer from rosacea have fair skin tones, with complexions that are prone to blushing. Although the causes of this relapsing condition are still unknown, there are consistent signs to look out for.
SYMPTOMS OF ROSACEA
The most common symptom of rosacea is redness. Flushing is most likely to affect the face, particularly the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. In severe cases, reddening will spread outwards from the nose to each cheek, presenting as what is known as the ‘butterfly pattern’. It can also cause the eyelids to become sore and crusty. Rosacea flushing is usually accompanied by a flare-up of condition-specific spots: small, sore pimples which appear on the affected areas.
CAUSES OF ROSACEA
This common skin concern causes consistent redness and pimples to form on the skin, which is inherently tenacious in nature and impossibly difficult to soothe with home remedies. Generally, it exclusively affects the facial area, not spreading beyond the jawline. Often likened to a severe, prolonged breakout of adult acne, it is a lesser known yet particularly problematic condition in its own right.
Flare-ups of rosacea are hard to conceal, and makeup can worsen the condition to create a vicious and seemingly inescapable skincare cycle.
The personalised rosacea treatments we offer at Aesthetics Lab are created to not only give you a treatment plan in the clinic but at home as well.
Although the causes of rosacea are unknown, some associate it with the following:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if the Rosacea Facial is the right treatment for me?
If you suffer from rosacea or have otherwise sensitive or reactive skin, then the Rosacea Facial is likely to be an excellent treatment choice. Of course, we will want to see you in person and analyse your skin to confirm this.
The purpose of the initial consultation is to identify the best treatment for your skincare concerns. The Rosacea Facial is specifically used to target inflammation and structural damage to the skin but we will make you aware of other options if we think they would better suit your needs.
Can I wear make-up after my facial?
We recommend keeping your skin clear for 24 hours following your facial. Your skin should look wonderful with a lovely natural glow and more even tone. If you do need to use make-up, opt for a mineral product that won’t clog your pores.
How often should I have this facial?
Generally, we recommend having this facial every two to four weeks. Naturally, we will look at the condition of your skin and the concerns you want to treat before giving you an individual recommendation at your consultation.
Why do you use Biologique Recherche products for this facial?
Biologique Recherche is a renowned French skincare brand, famous for its raw, highly concentrated active ingredients and unique treatment protocols. Its Soin Biosensible range has been formulated to address rosacea – the products soothe, smooth and hydrate the skin, while significantly reducing any redness and inflammation.
Will you recommend any home care products afterwards?
For the best results, it’s a good idea to maintain a good skin care routine in between your facials at the clinic. Your Aesthetician will discuss your needs with you, and will be able to help you choose the best products for your skin type.
