Rosacea
Redness and rosacea are common skin conditions which presents acne like bumps (papules and pustules), red or pink patches and broken capillaries, typically on the nose, forehead and cheeks.
Types of Rosacea includes:
- Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: causes temporary or persistent redness in the nose, chin or cheeks
- Papulopustular Rosacea: causes Acne like bumps on the face (Papules and Pustules)
- Swollen Rosacea: causes skin thickening over the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin
- Ocular Rosacea: occurs in more than 50% of people with Rosacea, causes red or sore eyelids or eyes.
What Causes Rosacea
Whilst the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, the condition is aggravated by factors that dilate blood vessels including: sunlight, exercise, hot saunas, alcohol, medication, oral and topical corticosteroids.
How skin treatments work
Whilst we do not believe there are permanent skin treatments for rosacea, we do feel a combination of treatments can manage the skin condition including collagen induction therapy or IPL.
Collagen Induction Therapy (or skin / micro needling) treats Rosacea or redness by using a needling pen to create small perforations or micro channels in the skin. These channels stimulate collagen tissue production due to the healing response of the deeper skin layers, strengthening and thickening the skin. This makes the skin more resistant to the triggers that cause redness associated with Rosacea. A course of three is recommended for optimal results.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation uses high energy light waves to treat the dilated blood vessels in the affected areas of the face to keep redness and inflammation under control.

How long are the CIT treatments and what is the downtime?
Yes. CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) effectively helps to build the tissue within the stretch marks though the production of collagen. This builds up the indentation and reduces the colour of the stretch marks, in some cases making them disappear completely.
