What is it?
Persistent redness isn’t just ‘a little bit of flushed.’ It’s a recurring, visible reminder that lingers on your skin.
This could be visible blood vessels, stinging, flushing, and an uncomfortable, tight, sometimes itchy heat. For some people it’s rosacea, for others it could be eczema, lupus, seborrheic dermatitis, or even a contact reaction.
Most commonly? It’s rosacea - a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the central face. Come in for a consultation and we can help tailor our approach to your unique set of circumstances.
Still Have Questions?
Can I leave it, or will the redness get worse over time?
Without treatment, it often does. But with the right plan, you can control it beautifully. Many patients see the major improvements they’re after to regain confidence.
It might be. Eczema is common, but there are other culprits. That’s why we always assess your full skin story, not just symptoms.
Could this actually be eczema or something else?
Most over-the-counter products focus on best guesses, not root causes. We sit down with you to tailor treatments to you, your triggers, your skin’s biology.
“I’ve tried everything. But my redness won’t go away?”
Not always. But for certain vessel patterns, laser or IPL is the gold standard. We’ll let you know what’s necessary, so you can make the most informed decision.
“Do I really need a laser for this?”
There are many reasons why you could be experiencing persistent skin redness, most of which can coexist. This is why we always first sit down with you to diagnose the issue before starting treatments.

Advice
We don't just provide you with world class skincare treatments, but show you how to maintain your amazing results at home.
Moisturise
Look for products specifically formulated for sensitive, redness-prone skin that contain barrier-repairing ingredients.
Broad-Spectrum SPF
UV rays are the #1 redness trigger - even in winter. Physical sunscreens with zinc oxide may be better than chemical formulas.
Gentle Cleanser
Go for a mild, non-irritating, non-foaming, fragrance-free cleanser. Harsh approaches will only increase your discomfort.
