ROSACEA
Rosacea Treatments
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic and often misunderstood skin condition that primarily affects the face. It is characterised by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and flare-ups of bumps or white spots that resemble acne. Rosacea most commonly occurs on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and can sometimes affect the eyes, causing them to feel dry, irritated, or appear bloodshot, a condition known as ocular rosacea.
What causes Rosacea?
Though the exact cause of rosacea remains unknown, experts believe it is linked to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is most common in adults between the ages of 30 and 50, particularly in those with fair skin however, it can affect anyone. If remained untreated rosacea can worsen over time leading to more pronounced redness, skin thickening and increased discomfort.
Rosacea Flare-ups can often be triggered by external factors such as sun exposure, extreme temperatures, wind, stress, hot or spicy foods, alcohol, and some skincare products. Triggers for each individual can vary, meaning managing the condition is a personalised process.
What types of Rosacea Can We Treat?
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR):
Persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) on the face. It often causes a sensation of burning or stinging.
This type of Rosacea is marked by acne-like breakouts, including red bumps (papules) and pus-filled pimples (pustules), often alongside facial redness and inflammation.

How Does IPL Work?
If you're looking for expert Rosacea treatment in Stoke-on-Trent (Newcastle-under-Lyme), Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy offers a safe, non-invasive solution to reduce facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. At our Stoke-on-Trent clinic, we use advanced IPL technology to treat the symptoms of rosacea, delivering lasting relief and clearer, calmer skin.
IPL works by delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin, where it is absorbed by the blood vessels causing redness. This absorption generates heat, which gently breaks down the overactive vessels responsible for rosacea symptoms. These tiny, damaged vessels are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
As the treated vessels are gradually reabsorbed and fade, the skin appears calmer and more evenly toned. IPL not only reduces visible redness but also helps to soothe inflammation and suppress future flare-ups by targeting underlying triggers. In addition, the light energy stimulates collagen production, which supports overall skin health and strengthens the skin barrier, leading to a smoother, more resilient complexion.
At The Laser Lounge UK we have helped many Rosacea clients across Stoke-on-Trent see dramatic improvements in their rosacea symptoms, with many noticing visible results in just a few sessions. Our personalised treatment plans are tailored to your skin's unique needs, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.
