Rosacea is a common skin condition believed to affect nearly 14 million Americans, both men and women. It is more common in women but more severe in men and seems to have increased incidence for those with Northern European ancestry. The cause of Rosacea is unknown but the symptoms can be treated successfully.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition prone to periods of flare-up and remission. It involves the flush areas of the face (cheeks, chin, forehead, nose) associated with diffuse sebaceous gland abnormality and increased capillary reactivity. The most common signs and symptoms of rosacea include:
- Redness on cheeks, chin, nose and forehead
- Small blood vessels, or spider veins, on the face
- Red bumps on affected areas
- Irritation of the eyes
- Swelling of the face and nose
Rosacea is non-infectious. Some of the common triggers associated with flare-ups include exposure to sun, alcohol, increased stress, hot or cold weather, and heavy exercise.
At Rejuvenate Skincare, we carefully evaluate each person's skin condition and history and build a personalized treatment plan to provide the best results.

Rosacea treatments typically include sensitive skin products, mild sunblock, serum Vitamin C, or topical gels. Occasionally, prescription antibiotics are needed for severe cases.
