Understanding Rosacea
It typically presents in flare-ups and remissions and can be categorised into several subtypes:
- Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR): The most common type, characterised by persistent facial redness, flushing, and visible tiny blood vessels (telangiectasias).
- Papulopustular Rosacea: Often mistaken for acne, this subtype includes persistent redness along with bumps (papules) and pus-filled pimples (pustules).
- Phymatous Rosacea: A rarer subtype where the skin thickens and enlarges, often around the nose (rhinophyma).
- Ocular Rosacea: Affects the eyes, causing them to be red, irritated, watery, or dry.
Managing rosacea involves identifying and avoiding personal triggers while using professional treatments to calm the skin and reduce symptoms.
How we at Shumaila’s can treat this

Learn More about HydraFacialThe HydraFacial is an ideal first-line treatment for rosacea-prone skin. It provides deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and intense hydration using a unique vortex-fusion technology. We use specific, calming serums and avoid aggressive settings to ensure the treatment soothes rather than stimulates the skin.

RF Microneedling
Learn More about RF MicroneedlingFor certain rosacea patients, particularly those with textural changes or a compromised skin barrier, RF Microneedling can be a transformative treatment. By delivering controlled radiofrequency energy into the dermis, it stimulates collagen production. This strengthens and thickens the skin, making blood vessels less visible and the skin less reactive over time.
Ideal for
Strengthening the skin barrier, improving skin texture, and reducing background redness in non-flared, stable rosaceaResults
Gradual but significant improvement in skin resilience and a reduction in persistent redness over a course of 3-6 treatmentsManagement
Requires careful patient selection and expert application to avoid triggering a flare-up. Post-treatment care is crucial
