Rosacea manifests as an inflammatory condition affecting the facial skin, marked by symptoms including flushing, redness, papules, pustules, and telangiectasia (persistent dilation of small blood vessels). Globally, estimates of its prevalence range from less than 1% to 22%, varying based on demographics and diagnostic criteria. While individuals of Celtic ancestry, particularly those with fair skin and blue eyes, are commonly affected—earning it the moniker "the curse of the Celts"—rosacea can also impact individuals of Māori, Pacific, and Asian heritage.

While nearly everyone experiences the occasional pimple, acne presents a distinct challenge. Persistent breakouts can cause discomfort, scarring, and impact self-confidence. Our clinic offers a variety of treatment options specifically crafted to address acne and empower you to regain control over your skin. Our skilled dermal technicians will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your skin and engage in a thorough discussion of your concerns, allowing us to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Living in New Zealand, we enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, which exposes our skin to the sun extensively. While this lifestyle is wonderful, prolonged sun exposure can lead to the development of dark spots, freckling, and uneven skin tone. These effects tend to become more noticeable as we age. Additionally, factors beyond sun exposure, such as skin conditions like acne or burns, can exacerbate pigmentation issues by triggering heightened activity in melanocytes.
The most suitable treatment option for you will be determined by considering your specific concerns, underlying skin tone, and the root cause of your pigmentation problem.
