Redness Treatment

Rosacea, redness and uncontrolled flushing of the skin affects over 45 million people worldwide and one in ten in the UK. Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory disorder of the hair follicles and blood vessels characterised by redness, flushing, burning, discomfort, inflamed papules and pustules. It occurs more frequently in women but more severely in men and tends to occur most often between the ages of 30 to 50 years.

Type 3 – Thickening Skin – Phymatous Rosacea
– Bumpy texture of skin

– Open pores with oily skin

Type 4 – Ocular Rosacea:

Rosacea has a number of differing triggers or stimulants which include spicy food, cold or hot weather, stress, alcholol particularly red wine. It sets up a cascade inflammatory reaction which results in the over-production of pro-inflammatory mediators and vasodilation of the skin leaving it red, flushed, irritated, and sore.

Rosacea can seriously impact on self esteem and can even lead to depression with emotional, social and professional consequences.

The new SkinCeuticals Redness Neutralizer reduces redness by interrupting the inflammation cascade and protects the skin’s barrier. We have had amazing results with this product and recommend it highly for use with all patients suffering from rosacea.
