Rosacea
The cause of rosacea is not yet understood – but what we do understand is how best to take care of you and your skin. Skin Institute’s Dermatologists are ready to condition it can be.
Rosacea might be known as ‘adult acne’ but if you are affected by it, you’ll need more than just your average acne facewash to solve it. Seeking treatment early is hugely important, which is why our experts here at Skin Institute are on hand to help you get your skin back on track and avoid a recurrence of rosacea’s unpleasant symptoms. |

About People used to refer to the condition as ‘acne rosacea’ or ‘adult acne’, but rosacea and acne are quite different, and you don’t have to have suffered from acne in younger years to develop rosacea later in life.

Both conditions involve red spots and pustules, but with rosacea, these are dome-shaped instead of pointed – and there will be no blackheads, whiteheads, cysts or lumps. Rosacea will generally only affect the face, and you may find your skin feeling swollen and hot. There are other symptoms that often accompany rosacea, including:

Treatment There are four main elements involved in our comprehensive treatment of rosacea. Depending on your particular case, you may be treated with all four, or you may only require a combination of two or three areas. Rest assured that your skin is safe with us.
