Understanding and Treating Rosacea

Rosacea is more common than you think, yet it’s often misunderstood. If you struggle with persistent redness, flushing, or sensitivity, you’re not alone—millions of people worldwide have rosacea, and April is dedicated to raising awareness about this chronic skin condition. At Wrinkless Clinic, we’re here to help you understand your skin and find the best ways to manage rosacea effectively.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face. It often starts as a tendency to blush or flush easily, but over time, redness can become persistent. Some people also experience bumps, visible blood vessels, skin dryness, and sensitivity.

While the exact cause of rosacea isn’t fully understood, we know it involves a combination of genetics, an overactive immune response, and environmental triggers.

Common Rosacea Triggers?

If you have rosacea, you might notice certain things make your skin worse. Common triggers include:

✔️ Sun exposure – Even a few minutes of UV exposure can cause flare-ups.

✔️ Hot drinks & spicy foods – These can dilate blood vessels and worsen redness.

✔️ Alcohol (especially red wine) – A well-known culprit for triggering rosacea.

✔️ Stress – Emotional stress can cause flare-ups.

✔️ Harsh skincare – Over-exfoliation and irritating ingredients can make things worse.

✔️ Temperature extremes – Hot showers, cold wind, or sudden changes in temperature can all be problematic.

Understanding your personal triggers is key to keeping rosacea under control.

How Can You Treat Rosacea?

While there’s no cure for rosacea, the good news is that it can be managed effectively. Here’s how:

✅ Medical Skincare – Using gentle, non-irritating skincare is crucial. At Wrinkless, we select skincare based on the severity and stage of your rosacea. Products must support the skin barrier without triggering further inflammation.

✅ Prescription & Non-Prescription Treatments – Rosacea-prone skin tends to react to many ingredients, so treatments must be chosen carefully. Prescription options include topical anti-inflammatory creams or oral medications when needed, while non-prescription options focus on barrier repair and soothing active ingredients.

✅ Injectable Skin Boosters – Profhilo is particularly useful for rosacea-prone skin due to its deep hydration properties. Rosacea often leads to dryness, making the skin more prone to irritation. Profhilo restores hydration at a cellular level, improving the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Meanwhile, polynucleotides help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier over time, reducing sensitivity and making the skin more resilient to environmental triggers.

✅ Lifestyle Adjustments – Avoiding triggers, using SPF daily, and managing stress all play a role in keeping rosacea calm.

How can WRINKLESS help?

At Wrinkless Clinic, we take a science-led, comprehensive and personalised approach to managing rosacea. Whether you need advanced skincare, injectable treatments, or laser therapy, we’ll work with you to create a plan that delivers real results.

Advanced Skin Analysis with Observ 520

Rosacea affects different layers of the skin, and severity varies from person to person. So this is why we start with a Skin Analysis with the Observ 520, a cutting-edge imaging system that allows us to see beneath the surface of your skin. This helps us to:

✔️ Assess the extent of redness and inflammation beyond what’s visible to the naked eye.

✔️ Identify broken capillaries that contribute to persistent flushing.

✔️ Detect early signs of skin barrier dysfunction, so we can intervene before symptoms worsen.

✔️ Determine levels of dehydration, which is common in rosacea-prone skin.

With this in-depth analysis, we can tailor a treatment plan specific to your skin’s needs.

Choosing the Right Skincare for Your Stage of Rosacea

Rosacea has different stages, from mild flushing to more severe inflammation with visible blood vessels. Choosing the wrong skincare can worsen symptoms, which is why we carefully select medical-grade skincare that is:

✔️ Free from common irritants like alcohol, fragrance, and harsh exfoliants.

✔️ Designed to restore the skin barrier, keeping moisture in and irritants out.

✔️ Calming, with ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, and ceramides to soothe inflammation.

✔️ Matched to your rosacea stage, ensuring we don’t overstimulate or over-dry your skin.

One product we often recommend is The Miskonception Serum, our go-to for red, reactive, or compromised skin. It’s packed with anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing ingredients, and we’ve found it to be a game-changer for calming flare-ups, reducing redness, and helping the skin feel more comfortable day to day.

How Injectables Can Support Rosacea Management

1. Profhilo for Hydration & Skin Barrier Support:

Many people with rosacea struggle with chronic dryness, which weakens the skin barrier and makes the skin more sensitive. Profhilo works by:

✔️ Deeply hydrating the skin,

✔️ Stimulating collagen production and

✔️ Improving the skin’s ability to retain moisture.

Well-hydrated skin is less prone to irritation, making it more resilient against rosacea triggers.

2. Polynucleotides for Long-Term Skin Strengthening:

Rosacea-prone skin is often fragile and reactive. Polynucleotides work at a cellular level to strengthen and repair the skin over time. They help:

✔️ Reduce inflammation.

✔️ Improve skin elasticity and structure.

✔️ Enhance the skin’s natural healing process, making it less reactive to triggers.

By improving the skin’s foundation, polynucleotides provide long-term support for managing rosacea symptoms.
