April is Rosacea Awareness Month 🌹

Rosacea affects an estimated 1 in 10 people in the UK – yet it’s one of the most commonly misunderstood skin conditions. Many people live with it for years without ever receiving a diagnosis or effective treatment.

Signs to look out for:
🔴 Persistent facial redness, especially across the nose and cheeks
🔴 Visible blood vessels (broken capillaries)
🔴 Flushing or blushing easily
🔴 Spots that look like acne – but don’t respond to acne treatments
🔴 Burning or stinging sensation on the skin

The good news? With the right clinical support, rosacea can be managed effectively. Dr Maria Gonzalez and the team at Specialist Skin Clinic offer expert assessment and tailored treatment plans for patients with rosacea.

You don’t have to just live with it.

Friday feedback!

“I would highly recommend Aiste to anyone considering treatment. She is extremely professional and consistently makes me feel completely at ease every time I visit. From the moment you walk in, she creates such a calm and welcoming atmosphere. She is friendly, warm, and naturally chatty, which really helps if you’re feeling nervous.

What truly sets Aiste apart is how thoroughly she explains everything. She takes the time to talk through each step of the treatment, patiently answers any questions, and ensures you fully understand what to expect. I have never felt rushed or pressured in any way – she genuinely cares about her clients’ comfort and confidence.

I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She is the only person I have ever felt truly comfortable with when receiving treatment. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and caring nature make her exceptional at what she does. I always leave feeling happy with my results and reassured that I’m in the best hands.”
