ROSACEA: UNDERSTANDING IT CAUSES AND SEVERITY.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face. Characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts, rosacea can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and quality of life. It is more common in fair-skinned individuals and typically begins after the age of 30, gradually worsening if not properly managed.
At Emil Spa and Beauty Haven, we believe in empowering our clients through knowledge and personalized skincare solutions. One of the most commonly misunderstood skin conditions we see in our clinic is rosacea, a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects facial skin. It can present as persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and in more severe cases, acne-like breakouts and thickened skin. Rosacea is more than just a cosmetic concern; it’s a medical condition that requires proper care and attention.
Root Causes Behind Rosacea Flare-Ups
While there’s no single cause of rosacea, a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers is often responsible. People with fair skin and a family history of rosacea are more prone to developing the condition, but anyone can be affected.
Common rosacea triggers we help clients identify and manage at Emil Spa and Beauty Haven include:
Prolonged sun exposure
High levels of stress
Spicy foods and alcohol, particularly red wine
Extreme weather conditions
Harsh skincare ingredients or fragrances
Intense physical activity
Internally, rosacea may be linked to an overactive immune response and imbalances in skin microbiota. Demodex mites and the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria have also been associated with inflammatory reactions that exacerbate symptoms.
Degrees of Severity in Rosacea
Rosacea isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition. At Emil Spa and Beauty Haven, we assess each case individually, considering the type and severity to recommend the most effective treatment plan.
Rosacea generally falls into four recognized subtypes:
- Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea
Characterized by persistent facial redness and visible blood vessels. This is the most common form and often an early indicator of rosacea.
- Papulopustular Rosacea
Often mistaken for acne, this form includes redness with bumps and pustules. It can lead to sensitivity and swelling across the cheeks, chin, and forehead.
- Phymatous Rosacea
This advanced stage results in thickened skin and irregular surface texture, especially on the nose. Though more common in men, it requires specialized care.
- Ocular Rosacea
Affecting the eyes, this type leads to dryness, irritation, in some cases, visual disturbances if untreated.
Rosacea can range from mild to severe, with symptoms worsening over time if not managed properly. Early professional intervention is essential to prevent long-term damage and improve skin comfort.
