Medical Dermatology
Rosacea & facial redness
Rosacea is a chronic condition, but it's very manageable. The goal is calmer, more even skin — and a plan that keeps flare-ups from running your day.
Overview
Understanding rosacea
Rosacea often shows up as persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead — sometimes with visible vessels, bumps, or a stinging, sensitive feeling. It's frequently mistaken for acne or simply 'sensitive skin.'
Lasting control comes from combining the right medical treatment with a routine built around your specific triggers — so we treat the whole person, not just the redness of the moment.

What rosacea can look like
What we look for
Visible blood vessels
Fine, thread-like vessels (telangiectasia) on the cheeks and nose.
Bumps & pustules
Acne-like breakouts without the blackheads of true acne.
Stinging & sensitivity
Burning, tightness, or reactivity to products and weather.
Eye involvement
Dry, irritated, gritty eyes (ocular rosacea) that often go undiagnosed.
How we treat it
Your treatment options
Rosacea responds well to a layered approach — settle the inflammation, treat the redness, and protect against triggers.
Prescription topicals
Medications such as metronidazole, azelaic acid, and ivermectin to calm bumps and redness.
Oral medications
Low-dose anti-inflammatory antibiotics for more stubborn, bumpy rosacea.
VBeam® laser
Pulsed-dye laser that targets persistent redness and visible blood vessels.
IPL photofacial
Intense pulsed light to even out background redness and flushing over a series of sessions.
Trigger management
We help you pinpoint personal triggers — sun, heat, stress, foods — to prevent flares.
Gentle skincare & sun care
A simple, barrier-friendly routine with daily broad-spectrum SPF to hold your results.
When to see a dermatologist
If redness is persistent, worsening, or 'sensitive skin' products only make things worse, a dermatologist can confirm rosacea and get it under control.

Rosacea FAQ
How quickly will I see improvement in my rosacea?
Most patients notice initial improvement within 2–4 weeks of starting treatment. Visible blood vessels typically respond to laser therapy within 1–3 sessions, while redness and breakouts often improve within the first month of prescribed medication. Long-term management is key for lasting results.
What triggers should I avoid with rosacea?
Common triggers include sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, hot beverages, alcohol, and extreme temperatures. During your consultation we help you identify your personal triggers so you can prevent future flare-ups.
Can rosacea affect my eyes?
Yes. Ocular rosacea causes dry, gritty, irritated eyes and often goes undiagnosed. We evaluate for it and coordinate care when needed.
