Why Does Rosacea Happen?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition tied to vascular sensitivity, immune overactivation, and often a disrupted skin barrier. It’s also triggered by factors like spicy food, alcohol, sun exposure, and temperature changes. Related reading: What triggers rosacea flare-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best treatment for rosacea?

BBL® is the gold standard for reducing redness and vessels. For sensitive or pigment-prone skin, Moxi™ and LED therapy are gentler options.

Can rosacea be cured?

Rosacea is chronic, but with consistent treatment and the right skincare, symptoms can be dramatically minimized.

Are lasers safe for my sensitive skin?

We use lower energy levels and cooling protocols.

What causes flare-ups?

Common triggers include spicy foods, alcohol, hot drinks, sun exposure, heat, stress, and overexfoliation. We’ll help identify your personal triggers.

What does it cost?

BBL® starts at $600 for a full-face session. Packages and combination therapies are available after consultation.

How do I care for my skin between visits?

Use non-irritating, fragrance-free barrier support products. Avoid hot water, scrubs, and harsh actives unless prescribed. Daily SPF is a must.
