Rosacea

Light Touch Clinic specialises in the safe and effective treatment of Rosacea. Our skin experts offer the latest treatments to address the causes and symptoms of Rosacea.

About Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes the skin to appear red or flushed. It most commonly affects the face, in particular the cheeks, and is caused by the enlargement of blood vessels in the area.

Unfortunately, there is currently no permanent cure for Rosacea, however, with the appropriate treatment and care it is possible to control the symptoms of Rosacea to achieve a more even, natural complexion.

Rosacea is often mistaken for other skin problems, including acne and dermatitis, because of the characteristics these conditions share. Those who suffer from Rosacea can sometimes experience flare-ups which result in a more textured skin appearance, occasionally resulting in the formation of pus-filled bumps on the surface of the skin.

Without the appropriate treatment, it is possible for Rosacea to worsen, causing an increasing number of undesirable side effects such as burning skin, eye problems, and enlargement of the nose.

At Light Touch Clinic in Surrey, we specialise in the treatment and control of Rosacea. We use highly effective treatments to restore a more natural complexion and minimise the risk of a Rosacea flare-up.

Rosacea – Frequently Asked Questions

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels, often on the face. It may also cause bumps or pimples that resemble acne. While the exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, it can be triggered by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, and certain skincare products.

The primary symptom of rosacea is persistent redness on the central part of the face, often across the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Additional symptoms may include visible blood vessels, pimples, and skin that may feel hot or irritated. Some individuals also experience eye irritation or dryness.

While the exact cause of rosacea remains unknown, it’s believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Certain triggers, such as sun exposure, extreme temperatures, stress, alcohol, and spicy foods, can exacerbate the condition. In some cases, an imbalance in the skin’s blood vessels may also contribute to the development of rosacea.

While rosacea cannot be cured completely, it can be managed with appropriate treatment. Treatment options include topical or oral medications that reduce inflammation and redness, and professional rosacea treatment including laser treatment, facials, or advanced skin Care. A consultation with one of our specialists will help determine the most suitable approach for your individual needs.

Yes, laser treatments, such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), can be highly effective in reducing the redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea. Laser therapy works by targeting the blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, helping to diminish redness and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

While it’s not possible to fully prevent rosacea, understanding your personal triggers and taking steps to avoid them can help manage the condition. This may include using sunscreen daily, avoiding extreme temperatures, and incorporating gentle skincare products into your routine. Our specialists can provide tailored advice to help minimise flare-ups.

No, rosacea is not contagious. It is a skin condition that develops due to various internal and external factors, not from contact with other people.

If you notice persistent redness, irritation, or visible blood vessels on your face, or if your symptoms are worsening or interfering with your confidence, it’s advisable to seek professional treatment. Our team is here to provide expert guidance and create a personalised treatment plan to help you manage your rosacea effectively.

While rosacea primarily affects the face, it can occasionally affect other areas, such as the eyes, leading to irritation, dryness, or a gritty feeling. This is known as ocular rosacea. If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to consult a specialist to prevent further complications.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of your rosacea and the chosen method of treatment. Topical medications may take a few weeks to show results, while laser treatments can provide noticeable improvement after a few sessions. Our specialists will discuss your expectations and provide a treatment timeline during your consultation.
