Rosacea: Causes, Symptoms, and Modern Treatment Methods

Redness, visible blood vessels, rashes, and a burning sensation — if these symptoms sound familiar, you may be dealing with rosacea. This is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most often affects people with fair, sensitive skin and typically appears on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.

Why Rosacea Develops

The exact causes of rosacea are still not fully understood, but experts identify several factors that can trigger or worsen the condition:

• Genetics — increased vascular and skin sensitivity may be inherited.
• Vascular dysfunction — impaired vessel tone and heightened reactivity to external stimuli.
• Hormonal changes — rosacea often worsens in women after the age of 30, particularly during periods of hormonal fluctuation.
• Digestive issues — studies show a connection between rosacea and gastrointestinal disorders.
• Stress and emotional tension — can intensify redness and inflammation.
• External factors — sudden temperature changes, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy food, and improper skincare.

How to Treat Rosacea

Modern aesthetic medicine offers a comprehensive approach that focuses not only on reducing visible symptoms but also on strengthening blood vessels and restoring the skin barrier.

1. Hardware Treatments

• Hardware Treatments (IPL, vascular laser) — helps reduce redness and visible capillaries, evening out skin tone.
  
• Photodynamic therapy — provides gentle exposure that improves microcirculation and reduces inflammation.
  

2. Cosmetic Procedures

• Mesotherapy and biorevitalization — restore skin balance, strengthen vessels, and reduce reactivity.
  
• Peels based on azelaic acid or enzymes — help control inflammation without irritation.
  
• Cryotherapy — helps reduce inflammation and redness through gentle cooling, strengthening vessels, and improving microcirculation.

Rosacea is not a sentence — it’s a reason to pay closer attention to your skin and overall health. Modern aesthetic medicine makes it possible to control the condition effectively and live without redness or discomfort.
