Rosacea is a skin condition that mainly affects the face, giving your cheeks a flushed appearance.
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, although it has been suggested that it may be caused by abnormalities in the blood vessels of the face.
Certain triggers may make your rosacea worse. These include exposure to sunlight, stress, strenuous exercise, changes in weather temperature, spicy food, alcohol and caffeine.

Laser Treatments to Improve Facial Redness caused by Rosacea
At Sparx Beauty, we can use safe and effective Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments to improve the appearance of your skin. IPL treatments help reduce the redness, dilated blood vessels, and breakouts that are linked to rosacea.
IPL works by directing high-intensity pulses of light onto the area to be treated. During the procedure, your IPL specialist will gently press a special handpiece against the treatment area to administer the light.
You may need a series of four to six treatments held at four to six-week intervals. You can expect to see some improvement after two weeks and the effects should last for at least 12 months. People usually experience a stinging sensation, like being snapped by an elastic band, during the treatment which tends to last around 15 minutes. Side effects are rare - perhaps some mild redness and swelling for a day or two.
Please note: IPL is not effective on darker skin tones or tanned skin.
