Rosacea
Advanced, evidence-based care for redness, sensitivity and inflammatory skin change
At Rejuvence Clinic, we provide specialist, personalised treatment for rosacea using advanced energy-based devices, medical management and targeted skin health optimisation. Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition with multiple contributing factors, and effective treatment requires a bespoke, evidence-led approach rather than a single solution.
Our treatments focus on reducing facial redness, visible blood vessels, oiliness, inflammation and skin sensitivity, while improving overall skin texture and resilience. We offer solutions tailored to different rosacea subtypes and skin tones.
Rosacea Treatment at Rejuvence Clinic – Overview of Our Approach
Rosacea management at Rejuvence Clinic begins with a detailed dermatological assessment, supported by advanced facial analysis. Based on this assessment, we design a personalised treatment pathway that may include:
- Energy-based treatments such as Aerolase Neo Elite, BBL Sciton, Sylfirm X and Dermalux LED
- Medical management, where appropriate, to control inflammation and flare-ups
- Skin health optimisation, including cosmeceutical and barrier-repair programmes
- Lifestyle and trigger management, tailored to individual flare patterns
Rather than relying on a single modality, we combine treatments strategically to reduce redness, control inflammation and improve long-term skin stability.
Advanced AI Facial Analysis for Bespoke Rosacea Treatments
Every rosacea treatment plan at Rejuvence Clinic begins with a complimentary advanced facial analysis using the OPATRA Visio system. This allows objective assessment of:
- Facial redness and vascular activity
- Skin texture and pore size
- Sebaceous activity and oiliness
- Pigmentation and post-inflammatory change
- Overall skin quality and sensitivity
Using AI-assisted analysis, findings are matched to treatments shown in published clinical studies to improve specific skin concerns. This ensures recommendations are evidence-based rather than subjective and allows us to plan non-surgical treatments, medical options and medical-grade skincare with precision.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition often considered a variant of acne, linked to gradual enlargement and overactivity of the sebaceous glands. As these glands enlarge with age, sebum production increases, contributing to inflammation, redness and textural skin changes.
Sebum normally protects the skin, but in rosacea it can act as a pro-inflammatory mediator, worsening redness, sensitivity and acne-like eruptions.
What are the signs and symptoms of Rosacea?
Rosacea can present in several overlapping ways, and symptoms may fluctuate over time. Common features include:
- Persistent facial redness and flushing
- Visible small blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Oily skin with a history of acne
- Thickened, smooth (glabrous) skin with enlarged pores
- Increased skin sensitivity and stinging
- Involvement of the eyes, eyelids and scalp
- Increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Because rosacea affects both vascular and inflammatory pathways, treatment must address multiple mechanisms.
What are the causes of Rosacea?
Rosacea has a strong genetic component and often occurs in families, particularly those of fair-skinned Northern European background. Hormonal influences play an important role, with flare-ups commonly occurring after the age of 30 and during menopause.
Common triggers include:
Alcohol
Spicy foods
Heat and sun exposure
Physical exertion
Emotional stress
Identifying and managing triggers is essential for long-term control.
What are the treatment options for oily skin in Rosacea?
Reducing sebaceous gland activity and inflammation is key to improving rosacea symptoms and preventing acne-like flare-ups.
At Rejuvence Clinic, treatment options include:
Aerolase Neo Elite Nd:YAG laser
BBL Sciton
Sylfirm X RF microneedling
Dermalux LED phototherapy
Combination treatment is often the most effective approach, targeting redness, oiliness and inflammation together.
Aerolase NEO Elite at Rejuvence Clinic
The Aerolase Neo Elite uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser wavelength with an ultra-short 650-microsecond pulse duration, allowing deep penetration with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
As a non-ablative laser, it delivers energy to the deeper layers of the skin without disrupting the surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production while targeting abnormal blood vessels and inflammation.
What the research says
Published clinical studies show that 650-microsecond 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser treatment is safe and effective for rosacea-associated erythema and telangiectasia, including in skin of colour. Studies report significant reduction in redness, high patient satisfaction and minimal side effects.

BBL Sciton for Rosacea
BroadBand Light (BBL) by Sciton is a well-established light-based treatment for rosacea and facial redness, particularly in lighter skin types. BBL delivers controlled pulses of light across specific wavelengths to target vascular redness, inflammation and rosacea-associated flushing.
BBL works by selectively heating abnormal blood vessels and inflammatory targets within the skin, leading to gradual reduction in redness and improvement in skin tone.
What the research says
Published clinical studies on BBL and IPL-based technologies demonstrate:
- Reduction in rosacea-related erythema
- Improvement in visible blood vessels
- Decreased frequency of flushing episodes
Because BBL relies on chromophore targeting, it is best suited to lighter skin tones. In contrast, Nd:YAG laser technology (Aerolase Neo) is safer across a wider range of skin types. This allows us to offer effective rosacea treatment options for all skin tones, selecting technology based on safety and individual skin characteristics.

Sylfirm X for Rosacea & Redness
Sylfirm X is an advanced RF microneedling system that delivers pulsed and continuous radiofrequency energy. The pulsed RF mode is particularly useful in rosacea, allowing targeted treatment of vascular-driven redness without aggravating surrounding tissue.
Clinical evidence supports RF microneedling for:
Reducing redness
Improving skin thickness and texture
Modulating sebaceous gland activity
Sylfirm X is generally well tolerated, with minimal downtime. A course of treatments is usually required, with visible improvement often seen after three sessions.
Dermalux LED for Rosacea
Dermalux LED phototherapy is a valuable adjunct for sensitive and reactive rosacea-prone skin.
Red light (630–660 nm) has been shown in published studies to:
Reduce inflammation
Improve skin barrier repair
Calm redness and irritation
Support recovery following other treatments
Dermalux is non-invasive, pain-free and suitable for regular use, making it ideal for maintaining skin stability between flare-ups.
Medication Options for Rosacea at Rejuvence Clinic
In selected cases, medication may be used alongside device-based treatments.
Options may include:
Short courses of topical or oral anti-inflammatory therapies
Targeted treatment for ocular rosacea
Medical support during severe flare-ups
Wherever possible, we prioritise energy-based and skin-health-focused treatments to minimise long-term medication dependence.
Rejuvence Philosophy
At Rejuvence Clinic, we are committed to providing evidence-based treatments supported by clinical research. We recognise that our patients are experts in their own skin and take time to understand individual concerns, triggers and treatment goals.
Together, we create bespoke rosacea treatment programmes focused on realistic, sustainable improvement.
Our Doctors
Dr Naeem Mitha – Specialist in Dermatology
Specialist in dermatology with extensive experience in inflammatory skin conditions, including rosacea, acne and complex facial redness.
Dr Ghani – Expert in Regenerative Medicine
Expert in regenerative medicine, working closely with the dermatology team to support skin repair, barrier restoration and long-term skin health.
For effective improvement in skin sensitivity it is necessary to restore the skin barrier function using skin health restoration principles for correction and stabilisation. Treatment with ZO skin care regime or the Obagi Nu-Derm skin care program is very effective.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is the darkening of regions of the skin that are subject to inflammation due to acne or rosacea and leave behind scarring. Bleaching of these regions of discolouration is possible with the use of bleaching agents such as topical hydroquinone. The process of evening out skin tone can be achieved with a blending approach. This involves the use of a combination of hydroquinone and tretinoin.
Preparation of the skin using cleansers designed for oily skin followed by mechanical exfoliation with scrubbing once daily. Use of products containing benzoyl peroxide are necessary. Retinoids much as tretinoin or retinol can also have a positive influence on reducing sebum production. Alpha-hydroxy acids is effective for epidermal exfoliation and renewal.
For the improvement of skin texture and colour the use of chemical peels, after adequate skin preparation, as well as multiple sessions of Dermalux LED phototherapy have been shown to yield excellent results. In addition integration of tretinoin in any skin care program will usually provide good results.
