Managing Rosacea

Rosacea is more than just redness—it’s a chronic skin condition that can significantly affect your confidence and comfort. At Kaya Cosmedica, we frequently help patients who struggle with rosacea, a condition characterised by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, inflammation, and even acne-like breakouts. Understanding rosacea, its risk factors, and effective treatments is the first step towards clearer, healthier skin.

What Causes Rosacea?

The exact cause of rosacea remains unclear, but it’s linked to inflammation, blood vessel sensitivity, genetics, and specific environmental triggers. In Australia, the harsh sun and frequent exposure to UV rays can exacerbate rosacea symptoms. Other common triggers include stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and extreme temperatures.

• Cultural Backgrounds: Individuals with fair skin, especially those of Celtic or Northern European descent, have a higher risk. However, rosacea can affect people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, although it may be less obvious and often underdiagnosed in darker skin tones.
• Age: Most commonly affects adults aged between 30 and 50 years.
• Gender: Women are more frequently diagnosed, though men may experience more severe symptoms.
• Family History: Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, as rosacea often runs in families.

• Persistent facial redness, particularly on the cheeks and nose
• Visible blood vessels (spider veins)
• Frequent flushing or blushing
• Small red bumps or pimples
• Skin sensitivity, dryness, or a burning sensation
