What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that typically appears as persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, and forehead. It can include visible blood vessels, bumps, and sensitivity, with flare-ups triggered by factors like heat, alcohol, spicy foods, or stress. Over time, symptoms may become more pronounced without proper care.

Many people also experience a burning or stinging sensation, dry or sensitive skin, and flushing that comes and goes. In some cases, rosacea can cause thickened skin around the nose or watery, irritated eyes.

Can rosacea be cured?
There’s no permanent cure, but symptoms can be effectively managed. At Visible Changes we focus on calming inflammation, reducing redness, and strengthening the skin barrier to help control flare-ups and improve comfort over time.
Which treatments can help with rosacea?
Depending on your skin, options may include LED Light Therapy to calm inflammation, medical-grade skincare for barrier repair, professionally guided skin needling, gentle skin peels, and targeted laser or IPL after assessment. Your therapist will tailor a plan for you.
Are rosacea treatments safe for sensitive skin, and is there downtime?
Yes—treatments are selected with sensitivity in mind. Most options are gentle with minimal to no downtime. You might notice temporary pinkness after certain procedures, which typically settles quickly.
How many sessions will I need and when will I see results?
Many clients notice calmer, less reactive skin within a few weeks. A course of 4–6 sessions is common for in-clinic treatments, alongside a home-care routine to maintain results and reduce future flare-ups.
