Understanding Rosacea: Causes, Triggers & Effective Treatment Options 

Understanding Rosacea: Causes, Triggers & Effective Treatment Options Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, often presenting as persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It typically affects those with fair skin and usually appears between the ages of 30 and 50. While the exact cause is unknown, a combination of genetic and environmental factors is thought to contribute.

Common Triggers:  

Many individuals with rosacea find their symptoms are triggered or worsened by certain lifestyle or environmental factors. Common triggers include:

• Sun exposure
• Stress Hot drinks and spicy foods
• Alcohol (especially red wine)
• Extreme temperatures  
• Certain skincare products

Understanding your personal triggers is an essential part of managing rosacea long-term.

How We Treat Rosacea at Luminosity Aesthetics in Rochester.

While there is currently no cure for rosacea, the condition can be effectively managed with the right combination of in-clinic treatments and professional skincare. At Luminosity Aesthetics, we offer tailored solutions to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and improve overall skin health.

1. Dermalux LED Light Therapy Dermalux uses clinically proven light wavelengths to calm, heal, and rejuvenate the skin. For rosacea, we utilise red and near-infrared light to:

•  Reduce inflammation
• Accelerate skin healing Soothe redness and irritation
• Support a healthy skin barrier

Dermalux is non-invasive, pain-free, and suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.

2. Microneedling for Rosacea

While microneedling may not be suitable for all rosacea patients (especially during flare-ups), it can be highly beneficial in strengthening the skin over time. When appropriate, this treatment:

•  Stimulates collagen production
• Improves skin texture and resilience  
• Reduces visible capillaries and post-inflammatory redness

We use advanced microneedling techniques with minimal trauma to ensure the skin is treated safely and effectively.

3. Professional Skincare Plan

We develop a personalised skincare regime to support your in-clinic treatments and reduce flare-ups at home. A typical rosacea-friendly skincare plan includes:

• Gentle, non-irritating cleansers
•  Anti-inflammatory serums (such as niacinamide or azelaic acid)
•  Broad-spectrum SPF to protect from UV triggers
• Barrier-repair moisturisers to strengthen the skin
