Treating rosacea can be hit and miss… it’s tricky because it’s often overlooked or misunderstood or mistaken for other skin conditions like acne. However, at Skin by Dr Caroline’s advanced skin clinic in Hertfordshire, acne is often seen in a combination with rosacea because both acne and rosacea have similar inflammation properties. If you think you might be dealing with rosacea and want to work towards healing your skin, then it’s time you visited Skin by Dr Caroline, who have excellent success with their great skin care in Hatfield.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a skin condition that typically appears in the areas of your face where you blush, such as your cheeks. However, it is also very common for the blushing redness to appear on the nose, chin, forehead and even the body.  Rosacea symptoms include red, irritated looking and bumpy skin which can develop into acne.

It’s not 100% clear why Rosacea flares up, but leading researchers think it may be caused by:

• sun damage
• stress
• bacterial causes
• over-exercise
• blood vessel disorders
• diet and lifestyle choices such as alcohol

Rosacea affects more women than men and can become progressively worse if left untreated. Many skin clinics have failed to recognise and treat it effectively…. until now with AlumierMD. 

What Rosacea Treatments Should Do

When seeking out a rosacea treatment, there are a few specific points you should have covered. These will help ensure you’re on your way to healthy, clear skin.

Be Carefully Prescribed

The best rosacea treatment should be developed in consultation with appropriate medical professionals and skin specialists.

Calm Your Skin

Effective rosacea remedies should reduce inflammation and redness, soothing your skin with a blend of calming, proven anti-inflammatory ingredients that contain anti-oxidants. They should both calm existing redness and prevent future flare-ups.

Repair The Natural Moisture Barrier

To improve your skin condition for the future, rosacea treatments must prevent any further moisture loss and improve cell regeneration, which occurs when skin is not properly hydrated. Rosacea is often due to an impaired barrier function in your skin, sometimes from overuse of harms products, genetics, environmental damage, or other factors. 

Keep Your Skin Clean

To reduce the likelihood of complications and infections, rosacea remedies should be anti-bacterial and anti-microbial.

Protect From The Sun

On hot summer days, rosacea can flare up or get really irritated. Effective treatments will help keep skin cool, reflect UV rays and reduce sun-related irritation. Always wear a minimum of SPF 30 every day, even if you don’t have rosacea symptoms.

The Best Rosacea Skin Care In Hatfield

At our skin clinic in Potters Bar near Hatfield, we offer several options for diagnosing and treating rosacea and other conditions. Before any diagnosis is made the client/patient can have a skin scan using the Observe® Skin Scanner in order to fully assess the skin issue.

Danne Dmk

Danne DMK is just one of the great treatments we offer for your skin care in Hatfield. More than a topical treatment, it revises the skin, working with your body’s regenerative processes to remove dead cells and promote regeneration. Danne DMK rejuvenates at deep epidermis and dermis level as well as the surface. It’s blended specifically for your unique skin type and will help you see smoother, plumper, tighter and clearer skin, with less irritation.
