Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible capillaries, and episodes of flushing that can progress to papules, pustules, or thickened skin. It most often affects the central face, cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. While incurable, it can be controlled remarkably well with targeted care, lifestyle modification, and clinical treatments. At Haus of Ästhetik, we focus on calming inflammation, rebuilding skin resilience, and restoring patient confidence.
Overview
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible capillaries, and episodes of flushing that can progress to papules, pustules, or thickened skin. It most often affects the central face, cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. While incurable, it can be controlled remarkably well with targeted care, lifestyle modification, and clinical treatments. At Haus of Ästhetik, we focus on calming inflammation, rebuilding skin resilience, and restoring patient confidence.
Rosacea typically appears between ages 30 and 60 and is more common in lighter skin types, though it affects all tones. Women are more frequently diagnosed, but men may develop more severe forms, particularly rhinophyma (nasal thickening).
Persistent facial redness (erythema) and flushing
Telangiectasia (visible thread veins)
Papules and pustules resembling acne but without comedones
Sensitivity, stinging, or burning sensations
Dryness, rough texture, and intermittent swelling
In some, ocular rosacea causing gritty or irritated eyes
NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries support self-care (sun protection, gentle skincare and trigger avoidance) and topical options such as ivermectin, metronidazole or azelaic acid, with oral treatment reserved for more troublesome disease. We align with this and coordinate any prescription appropriately.
Rosacea responds well to a professional skincare and resurfacing programme tailored to your skin. Your plan may include:
Professional peels, microneedling and LED, with a personalised home routine and daily SPF.
mesoestetic and similar medical-grade skincare matched to your skin type and tone.
Fitzpatrick-aware protocols, with extra care for richer skin tones.
Where a prescription medicine is appropriate, coordination with your GP or our prescriber after an in-person assessment.
We focus on skin health first, building results steadily and safely.
Suitability is assessed through a full clinical consultation. We screen for systemic causes of flushing, medication interactions, and pregnancy or lactation status.
Active infections or recent isotretinoin use are temporary contraindications.
All interventions follow Haus of Ästhetik’s governance framework and CQC Regulation 12 for Safe Care and Treatment.
Skin treatments work gradually: most people see improvement in rosacea over several weeks as skin quality builds, often across a short course rather than a single session. Results are not permanent and vary between individuals, and they are maintained with a personalised home routine, SPF and periodic in-clinic care. We set expectations openly and never overtreat.
Use gentle, pH-balanced cleansers and barrier-repair moisturisers.
Avoid known triggers such as excessive heat, alcohol, and harsh exfoliants.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, ideally mineral-based.
Follow prescribed skincare, allowing at least 24–48 hours between clinic treatments and active homecare actives.
Attend scheduled reviews to monitor progress and adjust protocols.
The first step is always a face-to-face consultation at Haus of Asthetik. We assess your skin, take a full medical history and discuss realistic, evidence-based options for rosacea. Any prescription element is provided only where clinically appropriate, following an in-person medical assessment and prescriber sign-off; we do not prescribe remotely. Treatments are for adults aged 18 and over only.
All care is delivered under CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment), with informed consent, product traceability and written aftercare, and our governance is kept in step with the forthcoming national licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Individual results vary and are discussed honestly with you. If you ever feel distressed about your appearance, we are glad to talk it through and, where helpful, signpost further support.
