Rosacea Therapy

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting the central face — typically the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. It presents as persistent redness, visible capillaries (telangiectasia), flushing, and sometimes papules, pustules, or skin thickening in advanced stages. Unlike acne, rosacea lacks comedones and is often associated with vascular hyperreactivity, barrier dysfunction, and systemic inflammation.

At Eternal Vitality, we approach rosacea not only as a dermatological condition but as a sign of internal imbalance, often involving the HPA axis, hormonal shifts, gut dysfunction, and neurovascular instability.

Area(s)

  • Cheeks and nasal folds
  • Forehead and chin
  • Jawline (in rosacea variants)
  • Nose (in cases of rhinophyma)
  • Neck (if flushing is present)

Duration

In-clinic sessions range from 45–75 minutes, depending on the therapy combination.

Frequency

  • Microneedling / LED / Exosomes: every 2–4 weeks
  • Laser sessions: every 4–6 weeks
  • Full course: 4–6 treatments, tailored to severity
  • At-home skincare & supplementation: daily, long-term

What to Expect

How it Works

Rosacea is driven by a complex interplay of inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and barrier breakdown. Our treatment protocols:

  • Reduce neurovascular reactivity
  • Rebuild the skin’s barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss
  • Calm immune overactivation with bioactive peptides and exosomes
  • Address root causes like hormonal imbalance and gut dysfunction

How We Do It

  1. In-Clinic Rosacea Protocols
    • 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser: targets visible vessels and persistent redness
    • LED Red Light Therapy: supports vascular stability and reduces inflammation
    • Microneedling with anti-inflammatory serums: promotes repair and reduces flare frequency
    • Topical Exosomes: restore immune balance and repair skin microarchitecture
    • Peels with Azelaic Acid or Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs): for gentle exfoliation and inflammation control
  2. At-Home Skincare Routine
    Morning

    • Microbiome-preserving cleanser
    • Soothing antioxidant serum with niacinamide, resveratrol, copper peptides
    • Mineral SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide)
  3. Evening
    • Rebalancing cleanser
    • Barrier repair serum with vitamins A, C, E + essential fatty acids
    • Low-dose encapsulated retinaldehyde (if tolerated)
  4. Weekly
    • Enzyme exfoliation (fruit enzymes + PHAs)
    • Optional exosome-based home protocol
  5. Dermapen Microneedling Protocol
    • Frequency: every 2–4 weeks
    • Course: 4–6 treatments
    • Depth: 0.3 mm (forehead), 0.5–1.0 mm (cheeks/jawline)
    • Includes cleansing, calming serum, microneedling, LED red light, post-care antioxidants
  6. Functional Diagnostics & Internal Assessment
    • SIBO testing
    • Hormonal panel: cortisol, ACTH, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone
    • Vitamin/mineral panel: D3, zinc, magnesium
    • Food intolerance testing and gut permeability analysis
  7. Lifestyle & Supplement Support
    • Anti-inflammatory diet: low sugar, gluten-free, lactose-free (if needed)
    • Adaptogens (e.g., rhodiola, ashwagandha) for HPA axis support
    • Stress and sleep optimization (breathwork, sleep hygiene)
    • Key supplements: Omega-3s, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D3/K2, probiotics

Side Effects

  • Mild redness or tingling post-treatment
  • Rare temporary flares in very reactive skin
  • Light peeling after specific exfoliants

All protocols are personalized and non-aggravating, even for sensitive rosacea-prone skin.

Time to Full Effect

  • Initial reduction in redness/flushing: 2–3 weeks
  • Improved skin texture and vascular stability: 6–8 weeks
  • Long-term flare control and barrier recovery: 3–6 months with holistic care

Questions? We’ve got answers.

Is rosacea the same as atopic dermatitis or acne?

No. Rosacea is a vascular–inflammatory condition affecting the central face, without comedones. It differs from eczema and acne and requires distinct treatment.

Can rosacea be cured?

Rosacea is chronic but highly manageable. With the right combination of skin therapies, hormonal support, and lifestyle changes, flare-ups can be minimized or eliminated.

Can I use retinoids with rosacea?

Not during active flare-ups. Once inflammation is under control and the barrier is stable, low-dose, encapsulated retinaldehyde may be safely introduced.

What triggers rosacea flare-ups?

Common triggers include UV exposure, hot drinks, alcohol, stress, spicy foods, and harsh skincare. Hormonal changes and gut imbalance may also contribute.

What are the best therapies for rosacea?

We recommend a combination of vascular laser, microneedling with anti-inflammatory serums, LED red light therapy, exosomes, and hormonal/gut support.
