Rosacea

Redness and visible blood vessels

At Cosmetix, we understand that rosacea can be distressing, affecting both the appearance and comfort of your skin. Led by Nurse Kelly Cox, our nurse-led clinic offers expert care and tailored treatments to help manage rosacea, calm flare-ups and protect your skin.

Signs of Rosacea

Rosacea can present differently from person to person, but common signs include:

  • Persistent redness or flushing, often on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead
  • Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia)
  • Bumps, pimples, or pustules resembling acne
  • Burning, stinging, or tightness
  • Eye irritation in some cases (ocular rosacea)

Early recognition of rosacea is key to preventing worsening symptoms and long-term skin damage.

Causes of Rosacea

The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but several factors can trigger or worsen symptoms:

  • Genetics: Rosacea often runs in families
  • Immune system response: Overactive immune responses can cause inflammation and redness
  • Environmental triggers: Sun exposure, heat, wind, or cold
  • Lifestyle factors: Stress, alcohol, spicy foods, and certain medications
  • Skin care and products: Harsh ingredients or over-exfoliation can aggravate rosacea

Identifying your triggers is an important part of managing rosacea effectively.
