Rosacea Treatment Glasgow

Restore your Confidence with a Rosacea Treatment

We offer rosacea treatment in Glasgow at our clinic, the Aesthetic Medicine Institute

Rosacea, otherwise known as acne rosacea, is a dermatological condition that can affect anyone’s skin — although it is usually adults. Caused by certain triggers to sensitive skin, the condition mainly displays as facial redness and inflammation. It is also often associated with pustules.

The symptoms of this condition include facial flushing with swollen red bumps and visible blood vessels that reflect under the skin, causing a sensation of stinging or burning on the skin or an itchy sensation.

Apart from physical effects, it also impacts quality of life, as many people with rosacea experience low self-esteem and self-confidence and tend to minimise social interactions.

If you suffer from this condition, there are non-surgical skin care treatments available at our cosmetic clinic in Glasgow — the most recommended is our IPL treatment for rosacea.

Different Types of Rosacea

There are various types of rosacea, including vascular rosacea, inflammatory rosacea, phymatous rosacea, and ocular rosacea. Ocular rosacea is one of the most common types — caused by sun damage which affects the skin’s barrier function.

Rosacea typically presents itself as redness around the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead.

If this is affecting you, visit our clinic to have a skin analysis done by a professional and find a skin care treatment plan that works for you.

Is There a Cure for Rosacea?

Rosacea is among some of the skin conditions that are most challenging to address.

It is usually managed by your GP with the help of prescription antibiotics and medication. It is generally difficult to treat otherwise. In severe cases, it can be treated with a drug called Roaccutane under the supervision of a consultant dermatologist.

While conventional antibiotic treatment or specialist treatment by a dermatologist is the mainstay of treatment for this relapsing condition, occasionally, if you have a less severe form of rosacea or do not wish to undergo conventional drug treatment, a treatment called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is recommended.
