Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small red bumps. While the exact cause of rosacea remains unknown, it is believed to involve genetic, environmental, and vascular factors.
At The Bespoke Clinic, we provide support and resources for individuals dealing with rosacea, and we can refer you to dermatologists for further evaluation if necessary.
Causes of Rosacea
The exact cause of rosacea is still under investigation. Factors that contribute to its development include genetics, abnormalities in facial blood vessels, inflammation, and triggers such as sun exposure, hot or cold weather, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress.
At The Bespoke Clinic, we understand the potential factors involved in rosacea and can guide you in managing its symptoms.
Management of Rosacea at The Bespoke Clinic
At The Bespoke Clinic, we offer personalised management strategies for rosacea to help alleviate symptoms and promote healthier skin. Our approach includes:
- Customised Skincare: We provide tailored skincare regimens using medical cosmeceuticals formulated for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. These products aim to soothe and nourish the skin while minimising irritation and redness.
- Collaboration with Healthcare Professionals: We work closely with dermatologists who specialise in rosacea management. If necessary, we can refer you to these experts for further evaluation and specific medical treatments or therapies.
- Identifying Individual Triggers: We assist in identifying triggers that worsen your rosacea symptoms. By recognising and avoiding these triggers, we can minimise flare-ups and enhance symptom control.
- Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial in managing rosacea. We provide guidance on selecting appropriate sunscreens which we have here at The Bespoke Clinic and can recommend their use specifically for you.
Rosacea and Perimenopause
Rosacea symptoms can be influenced by hormonal changes, including those experienced during perimenopause. Fluctuating hormone levels can increase skin sensitivity and trigger rosacea symptoms. We are able to provide you with the tools to help manage this, particularly if hormone induced issues are affecting you. Again, the approach we take will be holistic and may also involve some specialist testing and hormone profiling to be able to provide you with an individualised management plan.
At The Bespoke Clinic, our goal is to support you in managing rosacea effectively and improve your overall well-being.
