Several factors, both genetic and environmental, can exacerbate the condition. Triggers that increase blood flow to the surface of the skin, like hot and spicy foods, alcohol, and exposure to sunlight, are among the most common. Avoiding activities or ingredients that provoke an inflammatory reaction is key to managing rosacea. Managing one’s general health, including gut health, sleep, and inflammation, all assist in managing the symptoms of Rosacea.
Much like autoimmune conditions, Rosacea can flare up and subside, causing frustration for those affected. Triggers include environmental factors, certain foods, and lifestyle choices. Common aggravators include:
Temperature extremes (avoid sitting in front of fires or long sun exposure)
Sunlight exposure
Stress
Strenuous exercise
Hot baths, saunas, steam rooms
Chlorine in swimming pools
Corticosteroids and certain medications
Dietary factors, such as sugar, gluten, hot spices, and alcohol
If left untreated, rosacea can progress and worsen over time, often being mistaken for other skin conditions like eczema or skin allergies.
At Skin Renewal, we understand that rosacea requires ongoing management. Our three-step approach ensures that every aspect of the condition is addressed:
In-Clinic Treatments: Target Rosacea symptoms with specialised therapies.
Home Care Regimen: Maintain treatment results with physician-recommended skincare products.
Oral Supplements: Reduce systemic inflammation to calm skin redness and flare-ups.
At Skin Renewal, we believe in treating Rosacea holistically. Each patient undergoes a detailed consultation with our experienced medical doctors, who will take a comprehensive history to identify any underlying medical conditions contributing to the Rosacea. Conditions like low stomach acid, dysbiosis, and leaky gut often have systemic effects, including triggering skin conditions like Rosacea. If these underlying issues are not addressed, they may lead to future health problems such as autoimmune disorders, food sensitivities, allergies, and even digestive issues.
Our doctors perform thorough assessments and may recommend further tests, such as a Betaine HCl acid test, to check stomach function. Addressing internal imbalances ensures we treat Rosacea topically and tackle the root causes of inflammation. Combining in-clinic treatments and internal health support leads to long-lasting results and healthier skin.
At Skin Renewal, we often recommend a combination of therapies for rosacea treatment because no single treatment can address all the complexities of this condition. By combining different approaches, we can target various layers of the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health from within. This comprehensive strategy ensures optimal outcomes for our patients, improving their skin appearance and overall well-being.
Our in-clinic treatments for Rosacea include advanced technologies designed to improve skin appearance and minimise flare-ups. Some of our offerings include:
Limelight™: Targets pigmentation and redness.
Laser Genesis™: Reduces inflammation and smoothens the skin.
PDT (Photodynamic Therapy): Repairs damaged skin cells.
Transdermal Mesotherapy: Infuses actives to reduce redness and sensitivity.
RF Needling (Secret RF or Endymed Intensif): Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin.
Azelaic Acid Peel: Treats both redness and acne-like symptoms of rosacea.
Skin Renewal offers a holistic, doctor-led approach to treating Rosacea. Our treatment plans combine in-depth consultations, advanced in-clinic treatments, and supportive home care. Identifying and addressing underlying health issues ensures that your Rosacea treatment plan is effective and long-lasting.

MoreI didn't know what was going on with my skin, was trying everything to fix it until went to Skin Renewal Bedfordview. They set up a six month plan of action, Bernice has been with me every step of the way, explaining every step and my skin is glowing. The staff is also incredibly friendly, I am always greeted with a smile, each of them is knowledgeable on all the products. Very happy with my experience.
MoreI have been a Skin Renewal client for over 7 years continuing to invest in my skin due to the visible results. My skin has been through periods of stress, dehydration and even dermatitis flare ups and with each session, my therapist Nicole Hazel, has had both the knowledge and expertise to read my skin and know the best approach even if it was not what was originally booked. She is so passionate in what she does and it shines through in each treatment. Her product recommendations are also spot on and the texture of my skin has never felt better.
MoreSecond time I've ordered from the online skin shop. This time was during the Black Friday special. Not only did my order arrive the next day as a surprise, but it was, once again, thoughtfully packaged with the free sample recommendations and the usual great quality products that Skin renewal stocks. Thanks again for setting a great example in service delivery both online and in store.
