Rosacea
Rosacea is a common condition its often a difficult condition to treat and there is no known cure. Rosacea causes long-term redness with visible capillaries, some swelling, pimples, and thickening of the skin, typically on the nose, cheeks forehead and chin with symptoms of itching, burning, and tenderness.
The cause of rosacea is unknown. This condition can be genetic. Factors that may potentially worsen the condition include heat, exercise, sunlight, cold, spicy food, hot and cold temperatures, and alcohol. The condition usually begins with flushing, which is when the skin temporarily appears red. These episodes of flushing may last for weeks to months and then go away for a while.
There are many ways of managing the symptoms and the duration of outbreaks and it varies person to person.

Here are some treatments that are clinically proven to treat
the symptoms of rosacea;
LED FACIAL
A powerful, yet non-invasive way to energise cell function, stimulate collagen production and promote healing.
We combine red light with infrared which has a penetrative depth of 633nm. This is a safe and effective light that targets the skin cells deep within the dermal layers to strengthen their functions, stimulate blood flow and induce a faster cellular healing response. This treatment is proven to promote and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, reduce active acne, kill bacteria, increase circulation, and reduce redness and inflammation.
This is the perfect treatment for rosacea and a sensitised red skin. Depending on the severity of the rosacea or redness we recommend 2-3 treatments per week until symptoms are resolve.
Suitable for Subtype 1 conditions to reduce overall inflammation and heal the skin.
