Rosacea skin treatment

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.

Skin Treatment Options

​

​

During your in depth skin consultation we will analyse and assess the type of rosacea you have as well as the grading of this type of rosacea.  This will determine the best treatment methods to dramatically improve your condition. 

​

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.

​

​

​

​

IPL SKIN REJUVENATION

IPL is a gentle, non-invasive way to strengthen and remove unwanted damaged capillaries. We use a safe and effect Intense Pulsed Light that converts into heat energy when absorbed by red or brown pigment. We can selectively target and remove veins with the natural elimination process through our lymphatic system. This treatment reduces the appearance of the overall redness to the skin and permanently shuts down the damaged vein.

Suitable for all types of rosacea to treat the underlying blood vessels, dramatically reducing the condition. 

A course of 6-12 sessions may be required depending on the type of rosacea.

​

​

​

​

LASER VEIN REMOVAL

Our Candela Alexandrite Laser uses a focused beam of light that is attracted to red capillary or vein. The capillary in the skin absorbs the light which is then converted to heat which disintegrates the capillary or vein.  The capillary will instantly go grey in colour, the vessels then shut down and become ineffective and is eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.  Some capillaries instantly disappear, while others can take up to three weeks to be fade. 

​

MEDICAL GRADE MICRODERMABRASION

Mechanically resurfaces the outer most layer of the epidermis. Removing excess of dead skin cells preventing any

build up within our pores preventing breakouts and evening the skin tone by cutting back the epidermis and smoothing the appearance of scars, open pores and uneven skin texture.

We believe in true transparent advice to guide you in choosing the right treatment options for you and to provide you with as much information and answers throughout your journey with us.

Fabulous At Every Age

  • WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
    The Microdermabrasion Treatment is a skin resurfacing treatment suitable for all skin types. It combines a deep clean and exfoliation, extractions and antioxidant rejuvenation for instantly brighter, cleaner and clearer skin.
  • HOW DOES THE MICRODERMABRASION WORK?
    Using an abrasive hand-piece with vacuum suction directed onto the skin, it simultaneously exfoliates, clears blocked pores, buffs and polishes the skin for a smooth even complexion. This treatment is completed within half an hour. The Microdermabrasion treatment buffs and polishes the surface of the skin, stimulating the receptors in the epidermis which in turn stimulates the production of new skin cells in the deepest layer of the epidermis. This encourages the production of new epidermal skin cells, while the buffing and polishing action removes dead skin cells from the surface. Together this process creates glowing skin, refreshed with bright new skin cells. As we age the regeneration of skin cells slow down leaving our skin looking dull and lifeless, showing wrinkles, pores and old acne scarring, by stimulating the upper layers of the skin, we will begin the process of regeneration. We recommend combining with Skin Needling treatments to stimulate the second layer of the skin, the dermis. Clinical trials and studies of microdermabrasion show a smoother, more even and healthier looking epidermis. The results of Microdermabrasion are instant with little downtime. Your skin may be pink immediately after treatment, this subsides over the next few hours. For those with a more sensitive skin type it may appear pink to red until the next day.
  • WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
    It is normal to experience some redness immediately post treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Some people may experiences dryness or peel several days post treatment as the skin cells shed and fresh new skin cells are brought to the surface.
  • HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
    You will notice improvements immediately after your first treatment. One treatment will improve the skin, however a series of treatments will give you long-term stimulation of the epidermis, leading to fresher, brighter looking skin. Depending on your age or the nature of why you are having the treatment, your skin therapist will discuss with you how many sessions it will take to get the results you're looking for. We recommend a course of 6 to 12 sessions depending on your skin focus and a maintenance session with every change in season.
  • WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY TREATMENT?
    The Microdermabrasion is performed as a multi-step process. First we will deeply cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Next we will perform the Microdermabrasion on your skin, and then apply a pumpkin enzyme peel to smooth the skin. This is followed by an extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. The final step offers rehydration where hyaluronic, peptides and an infusion of antioxidants and essential nutrients is applied to the skin. The entire treatment takes 30 minutes.
  • WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY TREATMENT?
    You may experience slight redness for up to an hour following your treatment, similar to that after a workout. Otherwise you will notice instantly fresher, dewy, clear and glowing skin.
  • WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN I TAKE PRE AND POST TREATMENT?
    As we have removed layers of dead skin cells, we recommend no scrubs, acids or anything harsh for 24-48 hours post treatment. We also recommend to not use any harsh products on the skin for at least two days before a treatment – specifically no Vitamin A or home masks. We always recommend the daily use of SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent the skin becoming sun damaged. Please apply at least once every two hours when out in the sun.
