Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that most commonly affects adults with sensitive and oily skin. Its course is associated with a multi-stage deterioration of the skin condition - from periodic redness and burning, through dilated blood vessels and papules, to advanced inflammatory changes, swelling, and hypertrophy. It is often accompanied by ocular symptoms such as tearing, sensation of sand under the eyelids, or photophobia.
The disease is recurrent in nature and strongly reacts to external factors - temperature, UV radiation, alcohol, stress, or spicy foods. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent structural changes in the skin, which is why rapid diagnosis and implementation of appropriate therapy are crucial.
At the Beauty Embassy, we use modern medical technologies and proven methods of anti-inflammatory cosmetology that work deeply but gently. Our goal is not only to improve the appearance of the skin but above all to calm the inflammatory condition, rebuild the skin barrier, and restore balance to the skin.
Each therapeutic protocol is selected individually - depending on the form of rosacea, its intensity, and skin reactivity. Thanks to this, we can effectively help even in difficult and chronic cases.
WHAT DOES ROSACEA THERAPY INVOLVE?
Therapy at our clinic involves a comprehensive approach that focuses on:
- calming inflammatory and vascular skin reactions,
- reducing redness and vascular hyperreactivity,
- eliminating papulopustular lesions,
- strengthening the skin's hydrolipidic barrier,
- preventing relapses and exacerbations of symptoms.
Depending on the form of rosacea (erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, or ocular), the specialist selects the appropriate sequence of treatments and care.
HOW DO TREATMENTS FOR ROSACEA WORK?
Treatments targeting rosacea are based on medical technologies and preparations with strong anti-inflammatory, vascular, and soothing properties:
- Laser closure of blood vessels (e.g. Nd:YAG 1064 nm) - Selectively removes telangiectasia (spider veins), reducing redness and improving skin aesthetics.
- IPL vascular phototherapy - Energy from light pulses is absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin, leading to a reduction in redness, blood vessels, and inflammatory conditions.
- INDIBA® MED (capacitive-resistive radiofrequency) - A medical treatment based on Proionic® technology, which reduces inflammation, improves microcirculation, and skin regeneration. The skin regains balance and noticeably calms down.
- Chemical peels with anti-inflammatory properties (azelaic acid, lactic acid) - Regulate sebaceous gland function, reduce redness, and eliminate papulopustular lesions without irritation.
- Therapeutic treatments for vascular and reactive skin (HydraFacial, Intraceuticals) - Deep cleansing, oxygenation, and moisturizing of the skin without compromising its protective barrier.
- LED therapy (red and blue light) - Reduces redness, accelerates healing of micro-inflammatory conditions, and soothes symptoms of rosacea.
- Treatments using nanotechnology and biomimetic peptides - Strengthen the skin's defensive functions, reduce irritations, and restore comfort.
WHEN TO USE TREATMENTS FOR ROSACEA?
Therapies are aimed at individuals with active or persistent symptoms of rosacea. We can help you if you notice:
- recurrent or persistent redness of the face (especially on the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead)
- burning, stinging, or itching sensation on the facial skin
- presence of papules, pustules, or inflammatory lesions
- telangiectasia (broken blood vessels)
- ocular symptoms: burning, tearing, sensation of sand under the eyelids
- skin swelling or thickening (e.g. nose enlargement - rhinophyma)
Early intervention effectively prevents disease progression and lasting skin changes.
EFFECTS OF ROSACEA TREATMENT
Well-planned therapy for skin affected by rosacea not only brings improvement in aesthetics, but above all, significant relief in daily functioning. Reduction of symptoms, calming of inflammatory reactions, and restoration of skin balance translate into increased self-confidence and psychological comfort.
Below, we present the most common and important effects that can be expected after a series of individually tailored treatments in our clinic:
- Reduction of redness and improvement of skin tone
→ redness becomes less intense, less persistent, or completely disappears
→ evening out of facial tone, reduction of red patches and irritations
→ reduction of hot flushing and skin burning when temperature changes
- Shrinking and tightening of blood vessels
→ reduction in the visibility of telangiectasia ("spider veins")
→ improvement of microcirculation and reduction of vessel reactivity
→ reduction of episodes of redness triggered by emotions, sun, alcohol
- Calming of inflammatory lesions: papules and pustules
→ reduction in the number and size of inflammatory eruptions
→ inhibition of their further development and limitation of new outbreaks
→ faster healing of existing lesions and reduced risk of scarring
- Improvement of skin hydration and elasticity
→ rebuilding of the hydrolipidic barrier and reduction of TEWL (transepidermal water loss)
→ skin becomes less sensitive to cosmetics and environmental factors
→ reduced sensation of tightness, burning, and dryness
- Rebuilding skin immunity and reducing reactivity
→ skin better tolerates temperature changes, cosmetics, touch
→ reduced risk of exacerbations and disease relapses
→ decreased need for continuous "calming down" of the skin with SOS care
- Reduction of swelling and feeling of heaviness
→ improvement of lymph drainage in the cheek and nose area
→ smoothing of facial contours, elimination of lymphatic stasis
→ reduction of tension and "puffiness" sensation in the skin
- Strengthening and densifying skin structure
→ improvement in quality and density of skin in vascular areas
→ reduction of hypertrophies and alleviation of changes such as rhinophyma (e.g. nose)
→ preventive action against further thickening and fibrosis of the skin
- Reduction of ocular symptoms (in ocular rosacea)
→ reduction of tearing, burning, and light sensitivity
→ improvement of eye hydration and reduction of inflammatory state of eyelids
→ possibility of better tolerance of contact lenses and exposure to light
- Improvement in appearance, comfort, and self-confidence
→ skin appears calmer, more uniform, and well-groomed
→ significant improvement in well-being and reduction of appearance-related stress
→ reduced need to camouflage skin changes with makeup and cosmetics
Therapy results appear gradually - typically, noticeable improvement occurs after 3-4 treatments, and after completing the full series, the skin returns to a balanced state. Regular care and elimination of triggering factors help maintain the effects longer and reduce relapses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR ROSACEA TREATMENTS
Before starting therapy, consultation with a specialist is necessary, who will rule out any contraindications:
- active skin infections (bacterial, viral, fungal)
- severe forms of rosacea with ocular complications without specialized treatment
- recent sunburn, sun exposure
- tendency to keloids (in the case of laser procedures)
- pregnancy and breastfeeding (in the case of certain therapies)
- skin cancer or certain autoimmune diseases
- taking photosensitizing medications
AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROSACEA TREATMENTS
To maximize the effects of therapy and minimize the risk of irritation, it is necessary to follow the specialist's recommendations:
- use SPF 50 sunscreens throughout the year
- avoid sauna, sunbed, alcohol, and spicy foods for 2-3 days after the procedure
- intensively moisturize and regenerate the skin with dermocosmetics
- gently cleanse the skin without rubbing
- avoid exposure to extreme temperatures
- adhere to recommendations regarding the frequency of treatments - usually 4-6 sessions in a series
