Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, swelling, and acne-like breakouts, typically affecting the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. It often manifests in episodes of flushing and persistent redness, leading to sensitivity and discomfort. While the exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, factors such as genetics, environmental triggers, abnormal immune responses, and the presence of certain demodex mites on the skin are believed to contribute to its development.
Managing rosacea can involve a combination of skincare strategies, laser therapy, Hydrafacials, or Botox to reduce redness and control symptoms. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment plans can help individuals effectively manage rosacea and improve their quality of life.

Dos & Don’ts – Before Treatment
Arrive with a clean face free of makeup to allow for a clear assessment of your skin condition. Avoid using skin irritating substances like retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliants in the 3-5 days leading up to your appointment, as these can increase skin sensitivity and discomfort during treatment. It is advisable to incorporate daily sunscreen use into your skincare routine to protect your skin, especially when undergoing treatments that may increase photosensitivity. Minimize sun exposure before your appointment to reduce the risk of exacerbating rosacea symptoms and to optimize the effectiveness of the treatments provided at the spa.
Dos & Don’ts – After Treatment
It is highly recommended to continue using sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can worsen rosacea symptoms and compromise the effectiveness of the treatments. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid prolonged sun exposure and take precautions such as wearing protective clothing and seeking shade to prevent further irritation and redness in the treated areas.
