Rosacea & Facial Redness
“My cheeks are always red and sensitive, reacting to the smallest triggers”
Facial redness and rosacea can feel unpredictable and embarrassing. With gentle, structured care, flare-ups can usually be reduced and skin made more comfortable.
Common Signs
Understanding Why
What it is
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition causing redness, flushing, sensitivity and sometimes acne-like bumps. Blood vessels and skin barrier become reactive, so everyday triggers like heat, stress or certain products can suddenly flare symptoms.
Common Triggers
- Genetic tendency towards reactive vessels and flushing
- Heat, sunlight, saunas and hot drinks
- Spicy food, alcohol and very hot meals
- Harsh skincare, scrubs and frequent actives
- Stress, anxiety and sudden emotional changes
How we treat it
We focus on calming, barrier repair and trigger control first, then add peels, lasers or prescriptions cautiously, always balancing redness control with comfort for Indian, pigment-prone skin.
Your Journey
We confirm diagnosis, simplify skincare, identify triggers and begin barrier-repair routine with sun protection, avoiding peels or lasers until skin feels calmer and less reactive.
Once sensitivity improves, we may add gentle peels, medi-facials or medicines for bumps, always monitoring closely for flares and adjusting pace around your lifestyle.
Redness episodes usually become shorter and milder. We refine long-term maintenance, trigger management and, when suitable, vascular lasers to reduce visible vessels carefully.
We schedule periodic reviews, adjust routines for seasons and life events, and support you in recognising early triggers before they build into larger flare-ups.
Self-Care Tips
Avoid very hot drinks, spicy meals and saunas.
Choose fragrance-free, alcohol-free skincare designed for sensitivity.
Use lukewarm water; skip harsh physical scrubs.
Apply sunscreen daily, preferring mineral or sensitive formulas.
Track triggers in a diary to recognise patterns.

FAQs
Is rosacea caused by poor hygiene or care?
No. It is a chronic, vessel-based condition. Harsh scrubbing or over-cleansing often worsens redness; gentle, consistent routines work better than constantly changing products.
Can rosacea be completely cured?
Rosacea is usually managed rather than cured. With right treatment and trigger control, many people experience far fewer, milder flares and feel much more comfortable.
Are regular facials suitable for rosacea-prone skin?
Typical salon facials often use steam, scrubs and strong fragrances that trigger flushing. We prefer medical facials customised for sensitive, redness-prone skin barriers.
Does everyone with rosy cheeks have rosacea?
Not always. Some people simply flush easily or have natural redness. A consultation helps distinguish harmless redness from rosacea that deserves specific, ongoing care.
