What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the central face, including the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. It develops when blood vessels become overly reactive, and the skin barrier is disrupted, allowing inflammation to persist. Genetics, immune system dysregulation, and environmental triggers may contribute to its development.

Rosacea often causes persistent redness, flushing, visible facial vessels, and skin sensitivity that may worsen over time without appropriate management. At LaVida Medspa, we develop a treatment plan based on your symptoms, skin type, lifestyle, and treatment goals. Our approach focuses on reducing vascular activity, calming inflammation, strengthening the skin barrier, and improving overall skin health to minimize flare-ups while promoting a clearer complexion.

What Are the Signs of Rosacea?

Rosacea can present differently from person to person but commonly includes:

  • Persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin
  • Frequent flushing episodes triggered by heat, exercise, stress, or certain foods
  • Visible, enlarged blood vessels (telangiectasias)
  • Burning, stinging, or increased skin sensitivity
  • Dry, rough, or irritated skin
  • Red, acne-like bumps and pustules without blackheads
  • Swelling or inflammation of the central face
  • Thickened skin, particularly around the nose in advanced cases
  • Eye irritation, dryness, redness, or watery eyes (ocular rosacea)
  • Symptoms that flare periodically before improving
