Rosacea

Also known as Red Skin or Sensitive Skin

About the Condition

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by red skin, visible blood vessels, and occasional flare-ups, often triggered by environmental and lifestyle factors.

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that causes persistent red skin, visible blood vessels, and in some cases, small red bumps resembling acne. It typically affects the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and symptoms can worsen over time if left untreated. Those with sensitive skin often experience flare-ups triggered by sun exposure, stress, diet, and temperature changes, making a personalised approach essential for effective management.

While rosacea and red skin have no permanent cure, Smooth Dimensions offers a range of advanced treatments to soothe irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce redness, helping to restore a calmer and more even complexion.

Condition Causes

Common causes for rosacea

The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Common triggers include sun exposure, temperature extremes, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and certain skincare ingredients. Rosacea is also linked to an overactive immune response and increased blood vessel sensitivity, leading to persistent red skin and irritation. Additionally, individuals with naturally sensitive skin may have an imbalance in the skin’s microbiome, including the presence of Demodex mites, which can contribute to flare-ups.

Understanding your specific triggers and skin type is key to managing symptoms effectively and preventing worsening of red skin and sensitivity.
