Redness (commonly known as Rosacea) is a common skin condition. Mild redness on the face is not classed as Rosacea but can still be treated. Our team of highly experienced experts will be able to provide advice and guidance, and recommend the most effective treatments to ensure you achieve your desired result.
Rosacea is a common condition affecting 1 in 10 adults in the UK. Rosacea has a similar appearance to acne that typically affects the face, resulting in redness, swelling, spots and superficial dilated blood vessels. Rosacea can range from very mild to severe, treatment plans will depend on your specific skin.
It is not known exactly what causes Rosacea but common factors involve malfunctioning of facial blood vessels, sun damage, genetics and abnormal immune reactions. Due to its similar appearance to acne, it can often be misdiagnosed so it’s important to see a medical professional if you have any skin concerns at all.
If you suffer from any type of redness, and are unsure of where to begin with treatment options, we are here to make the process as easy as possible. Here are our most recommended treatments.
Left untreated, Rosacea can lead to dry, flaky and uneven skin which may sting or lead to tightness. Some people may find they don’t have Rosacea, but they do suffer from small amounts of redness on their face. This is often caused by excess UV exposure or can be down to lifestyle factors such as stress, hormones, food and alcohol.

Due to Rosacea not having a known cause, and not being due to poor hygiene, as well as not being contagious, it can be difficult to know how to treat it. If you know the trigger for your Rosacea you should try to avoid that as much as possible. Your GP may prescribe medications or creams but it is vital to use gentle products on your skin, wear SPF everyday and heat as much as possible. If your Rosacea is still present then you are likely to need more intense, specific treatment from a medical clinic.
Rosacea can often be misdiagnosed due to symptoms being similar to acne. Rosacea most commonly affects only the face and neck rather than other areas of the body.
