Redness & Rosacea
Redness and rosacea are more than a cosmetic concern. For many people they are a daily frustration, flaring with heat, stress, or certain foods and leaving the skin looking flushed, reactive, and difficult to manage. At MD Cosmetic, we offer treatments that target the visible redness and underlying vascular activity driving your symptoms, available at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics.
What Causes Redness and Rosacea?
Redness and rosacea are influenced by a combination of factors that vary from person to person. The most common contributing causes include:
- Genetics: Rosacea tends to run in families and is more common in people with fair skin.
- Vascular reactivity: Rosacea involves abnormal blood vessel responses that cause persistent flushing and visible redness.
- Triggers: Heat, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy food, stress, and certain skincare ingredients can all provoke flare-ups.
- Inflammation: Chronic low-level inflammation plays a central role in rosacea and contributes to skin sensitivity over time.
