Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes facial redness, flushing, visible veins, and sometimes bumps or sensitivity. It often affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead and can flare up in cycles.

Common triggers include sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, hot drinks, stress, and extreme temperatures. In New Zealand, strong UV levels are one of the biggest causes of redness and flare-ups.

Not always. Redness can be temporary, like flushing after exercise, while rosacea is ongoing and more persistent. Professional consultation helps determine whether redness is due to rosacea or other factors, such as broken capillaries or sensitivity.

There’s no permanent cure for rosacea, but it can be well managed. With the right treatments and skincare routine, redness can be reduced, flare-ups minimised, and skin comfort restored.

Caci offers treatments like Photo Rejuvenation (IPL), Fractional Laser, peels and Skin infusions. These target redness, calm the skin, and support a stronger barrier. Paired with the right skincare, they can significantly reduce flare-ups.
