Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin condition that primarily affects the face. It manifests as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Although benign, this condition can cause discomfort, and its appearance, which may be considered unsightly, can affect the patient’s quality of life.
Victoria Park Medispa offers effective, non-invasive treatment solutions that prevent the progression of rosacea and help improve the appearance of the skin.
Rosacea: Causes and Risk Factors
The link between rosacea — sometimes called couperose rosacea — and a specific cause has not yet been proven. According to studies, it seems that the symptoms of facial rosacea can be triggered by an immune system disorder, dilation of blood vessels, sun exposure, and, in some cases, the presence of microorganisms in the epidermis.
Stress, smoking, alcohol, spices, and hot foods are other possible triggers. People with sensitive skin, light eyes, and those with a family history are more at risk of developing the condition.
Although rosacea can typically appear around the age of 30 in both men and women, the progression of this condition remains difficult to predict. Most of the time, periods of “flare-ups” alternate with periods of remission of varying lengths, which is why it is important to recognize the factors that can amplify symptoms.
Regardless of the symptoms, patients who wish to reduce the appearance of their rosacea and improve their skin texture can seek advice from the health professionals at Victoria Park Medispa.
Four Subtypes of Rosacea
Researchers identify four subtypes of rosacea: erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (permanent redness), papulopustular rosacea (rosacea bumps), phymatous rosacea (nose rosacea), and ocular rosacea (eye irritation and excessive tearing). Most people suffer from a combination of several subtypes that manifest with varying degrees of severity.

Rosacea Treatments
On a daily basis, it is possible to minimize the symptoms of facial rosacea by modifying certain lifestyle habits. Protecting the skin from the sun, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and choosing healthy foods reduce the impact of rosacea. Adopting a beauty routine with fragrance-free products — especially for those who suffer from acne rosacea — such as micellar water, a water-based hydrating gel, and a cosmetic treatment formulated to reduce redness are part of the solutions.
Medical therapy for rosacea, which involves applying specific products to the skin, is also an option to consider, according to the recommendations of a healthcare professional. For optimal results, rosacea treatments in a medical-aesthetic clinic are preferred. Victoria Park Medispa offers the LUMECCA IPL Photorejuvenation and Forever Young BBL for this purpose.
These treatments, personalized according to each patient’s needs, use intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to correct and improve the appearance of the skin. The number of treatments depends on the skin type and the severity of the lesions. However, after the first session, a noticeable difference in skin clarity can be observed. Over the course of treatments, the skin becomes radiant. Those who suffer from acne and rosacea have access to a high-performance and comfortable photofacial treatment.

Before and After Rosacea Treatment: Tips
Before a rosacea treatment, the patient has an initial consultation with a medical-aesthetic health professional at Victoria Park Medispa. During this consultation, several important points are discussed: medical history, the patient’s expectations, treatment options, and expected results. For the patient, this is an opportunity to ask questions, understand the treatment procedures, and learn about the appropriate care before and after treatment sessions.
After the treatment, it is important to know that IPL rarely causes side effects in most patients. Some people report local redness, mild swelling, tingling, or a sensation of heat that fades quickly. There is no need to interrupt daily activities or work, but it is recommended to avoid sun exposure.
In Summary
Rosacea can be linked to an immune system disorder, dilation of blood vessels, sun sensitivity, or the presence of microorganisms. Triggering factors include stress, alcohol, smoking, spicy foods, and family history.
Victoria Park Medispa offers intense pulsed light treatments such as LUMECCA IPL Photorejuvenation and Forever Young BBL, which correct and improve the appearance of the skin.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of the symptoms and the skin type. Improvement is often visible after the first session, but several treatments may be needed for optimal results.
After an IPL treatment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and use gentle skin products. Side effects, such as mild redness or tingling, disappear quickly.
