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.
Common Rosacea Triggers and Causes
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.
Skin Renewal's 3-Step Rosacea Treatment Plan
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.
Holistic Treatment and Skin Renewal's Doctor-Led Approach
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.
Why We Combine Treatments
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.
