April is Rosacea awareness month
What rosacea is
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most often causes facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and acne‑like bumps. It can also affect the eyes, causing irritation or dryness. It’s not contagious, and while there’s no cure, symptoms can be managed with treatment and by avoiding triggers.
Key symptoms
• Persistent redness or flushing
• Visible small blood vessels (telangiectasia)
• Red bumps or pus‑filled pimples that resemble acne but don’t form blackheads
• Burning or stinging sensations
• Thickened skin, especially on the nose (rhinophyma) in more advanced cases
• Eye irritation (ocular rosacea): dryness, redness, swollen eyelids
What causes it
The exact cause isn’t known, but research points to several contributing factors:
• Genetics
• Immune system overactivity
• Demodex mites (microscopic mites that naturally live on skin)
• Environmental triggers such as heat, sunlight, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, or certain skincare products
Common triggers
People with rosacea often notice flares after exposure to:
• Sun or wind
• Hot or cold temperatures
• Hot drinks
• Spicy foods
• Alcohol
• Stress or intense exercise
Treatment options
Working holistically delivers the strongest, most consistent improvements. Because the skin is the body’s largest organ, Allison achieves the best results when clients support it from multiple angles:
• Topical calming products — Incorporating soothing, barrier‑supportive formulas such as Clenisept, Procell Professional Serums, and Adipeau Strength Gel helps maintain a calm, resilient skin environment. These products are selected to nurture the skin while reducing irritation and supporting long‑term barrier health.
• Nutritional supplements — Internal support plays a key role in skin behaviour. The Advanced Nutrition Programme range — including Skin Clear Biome, Skin Omegas, and Skin Vit A — is used to promote overall skin wellness from within, complementing topical care.
• In‑clinic treatments — Targeted professional therapies, such as cold plasma treatments, help calm inflammation, encourage repair, and strengthen the skin’s natural healing responses. These sessions enhance the results achieved through homecare and nutritional support.
Contact Allison or Janeen for further information. We also offer free consultations to discuss a treatment plan.
