Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a common skin condition which may present with redness, flushing, visible blood vessels and sometimes acne-like bumps on the face. At City Skin Clinic, we understand how rosacea can affect your self-confidence and comfort. We offer personalised rosacea prescription strength treatment creams to calm irritation, reduce face redness, smooth texture and enhance the appearance of your skin.

What Causes Rosacea?

Whilst the exact cause of rosacea remains unknown, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Triggers include sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, alcohol and harsh skincare products. Everyone has a different rosacea experience so identifying your specific triggers is a key part of effectively managing symptoms.

It is also important to understand that, rosacea can manifest in several ways. This is important as it determines the best treatment for you. The main signs and symptoms of rosacea include:

• Facial redness or flushing
• Skin sensitivity and irritation
• Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia)
• Acne-like bumps or pimples (acne rosacea)
• Thickening skin particularly around the nose (this is called rhinophyma and occurs in advanced stages)
• Eye irritation and dryness (ocular rosacea)

Why Personalisation Matters

At City Skin Clinic, we believe in a comprehensive approach to rosacea treatment, tailored to each patient’s skin type, wishes and concerns. Our doctors create personalised treatment plans using custom made prescription strength rosacea face creams. We can also further customise your rosacea treatment to gently address additional skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation or skin ageing. Your doctor will also help design a skincare routine to use with your face cream that helps meet your skin needs and overall goals even beyond rosacea.

Personalised Prescription Strength Rosacea Treatment

At City Skin Clinic, we’re proud to offer safe and effective personalised rosacea treatments through our online skin clinic. Your treatment is carefully designed based on your skin, medical history and goals. Your doctor will also take into account your preferences and any additional treatment aims as much as possible when designing your rosacea face cream. We offer two types of treatment protocols: ROS and ROS+. Both of these are custom rosacea treatments but have some important differences:

• ROS: This is our standard once a day rosacea treatment protocol designed to manage redness, inflammation, and mild bumps or pimples associated with rosacea. This involves a single topical face cream and is suitable for moderate rosacea or for ongoing maintenance. Your face cream can also be designed to address additional moderate skin concerns such as texture, wrinkles or hyperpigmentation in addition to rosacea.
• ROS+: This is our advanced rosacea treatment protocol designed for more severe rosacea symptoms or if you have multiple skin concerns in addition to rosacea that can not be addressed with a single cream. ROS+ typically involves two products (a morning and night cream). Your doctor will usually prescribe ROS+ for a limited period before eventually transitioning to ROS for ongoing maintenance.

Ingredients in Our Rosacea Treatments

We always design a personalised rosacea treatment plan for each and every one of our patients. Your doctor will select active ingredients based on your individual skin concerns and treatment goals taking into account your preferences as much as possible. The formulation of your rosacea face cream may be adjusted at the end of each course of treatment based on your skin’s response. Here are some of the prescription strength ingredients we may use in our rosacea face creams and gels:

• Azelaic Acid: This gentle exfoliant also has anti-inflammatory properties. As such azelaic acid can help to reduce redness, inflammation and acne-like bumps.
• Metronidazole: As a topical antibiotic can help control inflammation, reduce facial redness and treat acne in rosacea.
• Ivermectin: This medication can target inflammation and reduce rosacea-related bumps or pustules.
• Niacinamide: Due to its anti-inflammatory and skin barrier-strengthening properties, niacinamide can help reduce redness and sensitivity.
• Tretinoin: This retinoid promotes skin cell turnover, helping improve skin texture, reduce inflammation and manage rosacea-related bumps and pustules. It requires different dosing, application and greater monitoring in patients with rosacea due to its potency.

There rare also other ingredients that your doctor can add to help target additional concerns such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, scars and skin ageing based on your skin needs and wishes. Please note our doctors will only use prescription medications in rosacea treatments if they deem them safe and appropriate.

Regain Confidence with Personalised Rosacea Treatments

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can be persistent with cycles of redness, breakouts and sensitivity. With the correct personalised treatments, it is possible to help calm and improve the quality of your skin. By using targeted active and prescription ingredients (where appropriate) in our custom rosacea treatment creams, we can help calm the skin, even out tone and smooth texture. We can also customise your rosacea treatment to address additional skin problems such as skin ageing, acne and hyperpigmentation. Whether you require our once daily ROS or twice-daily ROS+ treatment, your doctor will ensure that your treatment is tailored around your skin concerns, goals and wishes as much as possible.
