Rosacea is a long-term condition that causes red patches and visible blood vessels on your face and chest. Small red bumps filled with pus appear particularly on the nose, chin, and cheeks. You may also experience irritation in your eyes and hot flashes on your face. In severe cases, a nose reddens and enlarges causing a condition called rhinophyma. Globally, rosacea affects 10 in 100 people aged 35-50 and it’s most common in women. Additionally, this chronic condition mostly affects light-skinned people.
According to the National Rosacea Society, several factors trigger rosacea flare-ups such as alcohol, hot and cold beverages, UV-light, stress, etc. Since the condition affects your appearance it may impair the quality of your life. Unfortunately, rosacea is incurable but Hydrafacials can improve its symptoms effectively.

Why Hydrafacials Are Good For Rosacea
A Hydrafacial removes some of the rosacea’s worst symptoms. The treatment tackles bumps, large pores, and facial redness. Every step of a Hydrafacial is critical in your skin’s treatment.
Hydrafacial Steps in Rosacea Treatment
-
- Detoxify through a massage on the face to drain your skin’s lymphatic system. The massage improves blood circulation and relieves the tight discomfort rosacea patients feel. Draining toxins through the lymphatic system reduces pus-filled bumps and spots.
- Exfoliate to remove dirt, oil, and dead cells. Cleanse the skin.
- Use natural botanical extracts like lactic acid to treat hyperpigmentation because certain chemical peels can irritate your rosacea and worsen its redness. Use a patented nozzle tool to gently suction and unclog pores.
- Apply a hydrating serum that is rich in glucosamine to encourage cell regeneration and inhibit the development of a red pigment. The serum should have antioxidants like Vitamin A and E to reduce inflammation and wrinkles for a younger look.
- Use a hand-held infra-red light device across the skin to accelerate the repair of broken blood vessels and slow down your skin’s flushing.
Most clients observe the redness of their skin reduces significantly after one treatment. Your esthetician may recommend a series of treatments to get optimal results. Your Hydrafacial shouldn’t be your only treatment for rosacea and acne. Apart from this facial, you should use skin medications and a detailed daily regimen to treat your skin.
Conclusion
