Rosacea Treatments

Addressing Rosacea at Prèface Cosmetic

Rosacea is a chronic but treatable skin condition that commonly affects the central face, including the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. It often presents as flushing or redness that may come and go, with symptoms typically developing after age 30. Rosacea can vary over time, with periods of flare-ups and remission.

The following page provides key information about rosacea and treatment options for this concern in clinic.

How Rosacea Affects the Skin

Persistent facial redness is the most common individual sign of rosacea, and may resemble a blush or sunburn that does not go away. Another key diagnostic sign is skin thickening and enlarging from excess tissue, most commonly on the nose.

 

Over time, facial redness caused by rosacea may become deeper in colour and more persistent. Visible blood vessels may also develop, and in some cases, untreated rosacea can contribute to inflammatory bumps or pimple-like lesions.

Acne Rosacea vs Acne Vulgaris

Commonly mistaken for acne vulgaris in its early stages, acne rosacea is a relapsing condition, often exacerbated by sun exposure, alcohol, stress, heat and spicy foods. Rosacea is identified by intense reddening localised to the central face and does not typically present with comedones like acne vulgaris. Another identifying feature is that rosacea will often present episodically, whereas acne is often more chronic.

 

Acne vulgaris presents similar symptoms, but requires different treatment. Correct diagnosis is key to successfully treating your skin. Learn more about acne vulgaris and our treatment options here.
