Targeted Solutions for Redness and Facial Sensitivity

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or eye irritation. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we specialize in personalized rosacea management, combining medical therapies and gentle skincare to reduce flare-ups and restore skin confidence.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea typically affects the central face—including the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead—and tends to worsen over time without proper care. While its exact cause is unknown, it’s believed to involve a combination of genetics, immune response, and environmental triggers.

There are several subtypes:

• Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: Persistent redness and broken capillaries
• Papulopustular Rosacea: Red bumps and pimples resembling acne
• Phymatous Rosacea: Thickened skin, especially on the nose
• Ocular Rosacea: Eye redness, dryness, or irritation

Common Triggers

Rosacea flare-ups can be influenced by:

• Sun exposure and extreme temperatures
• Hot beverages and spicy foods
• Alcohol, especially red wine
• Stress and intense exercise
• Harsh skincare products

Identifying and avoiding personal triggers is a crucial step in treatment.

Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central

Rosacea is diagnosed through a visual skin examination by a dermatologist. During your visit, we will:

• Assess the pattern and type of rosacea symptoms
• Discuss symptom history and possible triggers
• Rule out similar conditions such as acne or seborrheic dermatitis
• Create a custom care plan based on subtype and severity

No invasive testing is usually required unless skin biopsy is needed to confirm a complex case.

Treatment Options Offered

Our rosacea care plan is tailored to each patient’s skin sensitivity and symptoms:

1. Topical Medications

• Anti-inflammatory creams (e.g., metronidazole, azelaic acid)
• Topical vasoconstrictors to reduce redness
• Antibiotic or sulfur-based creams for bumps and pustules

2. Oral Medications

• Low-dose antibiotics (like doxycycline) to reduce inflammation
• Oral retinoids for resistant or phymatous cases

3. Laser and Light Therapy

• Vascular lasers or IPL (intense pulsed light) to minimize redness and broken capillaries
• Non-invasive, performed in sessions with minimal downtime

4. Skin Barrier and Lifestyle Counseling

• Recommendations for gentle skincare and sun protection
• Guidance on identifying and avoiding flare-up triggers
• Stress management and diet support if relevant
