Rosacea, broken capillaries, and facial redness are common skin conditions that can cause discomfort and self-consciousness. These conditions often result from weakened or damaged blood vessels near the skin’s surface. Laser treatments effectively target and reduce redness by closing off the visible blood vessels, providing clearer, more even skin.
Rosacea and Hormonal Changes
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, acne-like bumps on the face. For many women, rosacea can worsen during perimenopause and menopause due to hormonal fluctuations that increase skin sensitivity and trigger inflammation. Hot flushes, a common symptom of menopause, can exacerbate facial redness and make rosacea symptoms more noticeable. The hormonal shifts during this time can also impact the skin’s barrier, making it more reactive to environmental factors and certain skincare products.
At our clinic, we take a holistic approach to managing rosacea, helping women navigate the combined challenges of hormonal changes and sensitive skin. With tailored treatments and expert care, we aim to soothe redness, strengthen the skin, and restore confidence.
