Common Causes
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it's believed to involve a combination of genetic predisposition, vascular abnormalities, and immune system factors. People with fair skin and a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop it. Common triggers that cause flare-ups include sun exposure, hot weather, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, certain skincare products, hot baths or showers, and exercise. Demodex mites (microscopic organisms that live on the skin) may also play a role in some cases. Hormonal changes and certain medications can trigger or worsen rosacea.
Treatment Options
Rosacea treatment focuses on managing symptoms and avoiding triggers. Topical treatments include metronidazole or azelaic acid to reduce inflammation and redness. Oral antibiotics may be prescribed for more severe cases. Gentle, rosacea-friendly skincare products that support the skin barrier are essential. Professional treatments like laser therapy can reduce visible blood vessels and persistent redness. Our approach combines medical treatments with lifestyle management, helping you identify and avoid your specific triggers while using gentle, effective products that won't irritate your sensitive skin.
