A Note From Dr Aleks
Redness and rosacea are among the most misunderstood skin conditions. They can be frustrating, unpredictable and often mistaken for something else entirely. Over the years, I’ve worked with many patients who felt they had exhausted all options—or simply assumed there were none.
In my experience, effective treatment starts with a proper diagnosis and an understanding of how the skin responds to various triggers. I take a gentle, layered approach that prioritises barrier repair, targeted therapies and education, so you know how to support your skin between treatments.
Common Characteristics
- Persistent facial redness (particularly on cheeks, nose and chin)
- Flushing that comes and goes

- Swelling or thickening of the skin in severe cases
Contributing Factors

- Sun exposure and UV damage
- Genetics and fair skin tone
- Environmental triggers (wind, heat, cold)
- Alcohol, spicy foods or hot beverages
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Stress and anxiety
- Overuse of harsh skincare products
- Demodex mites
Understanding Redness and Rosacea
Facial redness may have multiple underlying causes. In many cases, the root issue is rosacea, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects blood vessels and the skin barrier.
Surface Layer (Epidermis)
- Compromised skin barrier leading to increased sensitivity
- Inflammatory responses triggered by external or internal factors
- Flare-ups that result in dryness, stinging or burning
Middle Layer (Dermis)
- Enlarged or weakened blood vessels that become visible on the surface
- Increased blood flow to the skin, resulting in chronic redness
- Immune system involvement contributing to inflammation and pustules
Redness can also be the result of cumulative sun damage or ageing, which weakens blood vessel walls and causes them to become more visible. That’s why treatment often includes both medical and aesthetic solutions.
