Rosacea Skin Treatments
Your skin isn’t just sensitive - it’s inflamed.
Rosacea isn’t caused by bad skincare or poor habits. It’s a medical skin condition that needs clinical support, not guesswork. We help you identify your triggers, reduce redness, and rebuild a stronger, more resilient skin barrier - without making it worse.
Rosacea isn’t “just redness.” We treat it like the chronic condition it is.
At Lafont Advanced Skin Clinic, we treat rosacea as the chronic condition it is- with calm, clinical care that respects your barrier and avoids triggering your skin further.
There’s no quick fix, but there is a smarter way. We take a layered approach to reduce inflammation, identify your unique triggers, and support long-term healing- so you’re not just covering up redness, but actually treating it at the root.
Whether you’re dealing with flushing, burning, visible veins, or rosacea-linked breakouts- we’ll help you regain control and feel safe in your skin again.

Erythemato-telangiectatic Rosacea (ETR)
Persistent facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels.
Skin often feels hot, sensitive, or tight. Commonly mistaken for sensitive skin or sun damage.
Requires barrier support, calming actives, and inflammation control.
Papulo-pustular Rosacea (PPR)
Redness with acne-like breakouts (papules + pustules).
Often confused with adult acne — but requires totally different treatment.
Responds well to anti-inflammatory care, electroporation, and barrier healing.
Phymatous Rosacea
Thickened, bumpy skin texture — usually on the nose (rhinophyma), but can affect chin, forehead, or cheeks.
More common in men and late-stage cases.
Needs long-term management and specialist support.
Ocular Rosacea
Affects the eyes: dryness, redness, watery or gritty sensation.
Often goes undiagnosed — but needs treatment to prevent vision issues.
Usually requires collaboration with an eye specialist.
What are the symptoms of Rosacea?
Rosacea can show up as persistent redness, visible capillaries, flushing, stinging, sensitivity, or acne-like breakouts such as papules and pustules.
Symptoms often flare in response to triggers like heat, stress, spicy food, alcohol, skincare products, hormones, or even the weather.
It’s commonly mistaken for acne or sensitive skin — but left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time and lead to permanent barrier damage.
Redness
One of the earliest and most common signs of rosacea is persistent facial redness — usually across the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead.
This redness can look like a constant flush or sunburn and doesn’t fully go away, even when triggers are removed.
It’s caused by inflammation and dilated blood vessels close to the surface — and requires barrier repair, skin-calming ingredients, and long-term treatment to prevent progression.
Flushing
Flushing is a sudden, intense rush of heat and redness across the face — often triggered by heat, alcohol, spicy food, exercise, or emotions.Unlike general blushing, flushing from rosacea lasts longer, feels hotter, and happens more frequently.
Over time, repeated flushing can damage the skin barrier and blood vessels, making redness more permanent.
We focus on reducing trigger sensitivity and strengthening your skin’s resilience with calming, anti-inflammatory support.
Papules
Papules are small, red, inflamed bumps that can appear on the cheeks, chin, or forehead- often mistaken for acne.Unlike breakouts, rosacea papules don’t stem from clogged pores or excess oil- they’re caused by inflammation and vascular dysfunction.
These bumps can feel sore or tender and may flare alongside flushing or redness.
We treat papules by calming inflammation, avoiding acne-style treatments, and supporting long-term skin repair.
Pustules
Pustules are inflamed bumps filled with pus- often with a white or yellow head that appear alongside redness or papules.They resemble acne but are rooted in rosacea-related inflammation, not oil or bacteria.
Using traditional acne treatments can make them worse.
We treat pustules gently- focusing on anti-inflammatory care, skin barrier support, and targeted actives that calm rather than strip the skin.
Telangiectasia
Tiny red or purple blood vessels can become visible on the surface of the skin- especially around the nose and cheeks.These broken or dilated capillaries are a sign of vascular damage caused by chronic inflammation and repeated flushing.
They won’t disappear on their own, but we can prevent them from worsening and treat the underlying rosacea with barrier repair and vascular-calming support.
In some cases, we may refer for laser to reduce their visibility.
Rhinophyma
Rhinophyma is a thickening of the skin, most commonly on the nose that can make the skin appear bumpy, swollen, or bulbous.
It usually develops in advanced rosacea, more often in men, and results from long-term inflammation and tissue overgrowth.
While it’s less common, early intervention can slow its progression.
We manage the inflammation driving it and, in advanced cases, refer to specialists for additional support.
Why Proper Rosacea Treatment Matters
Rosacea isn’t just redness- it can deeply affect how you feel in your skin. When left untreated, it can progress, leading to visible capillaries, breakouts, thickened skin, and chronic discomfort that goes far beyond surface appearance.
At Lafont Advanced Skin Clinic, we don’t rely on quick fixes or harsh topicals. We take a personalised, inflammation-aware approach- working with your skin’s biology, not against it. Whether you're struggling with persistent redness, reactive flare-ups, or papules that mimic acne, we design every treatment to reduce sensitivity and support long-term skin recovery.
Because when your skin is calm, resilient, and truly supported, it changes everything.

From Struggle to Skin Confidence
I started a skin membership with Lafont as I wanted to treat my acne scarring and texture issues and I’m genuinely blown away by the results! Virginie and her team have such a wealth of knowledge and are so passionate about their clients and their skin journey. Appreciate you all!
Not Sure? Let’s Break It Down.
I’ve tried everything- how do I know what will actually work for my skin?
Because we don’t guess. Every skin journey at Lafont begins with a professional skin consultation- no fluff, no upsell, just real analysis using advanced technology and years of experience. Whether you're dealing with hormonal acne, scarring, pigmentation, or just general sensitivity, we don’t give you generic answers. We give you a personalised strategy that actually makes sense foryourskin.
Are your products medical-grade, natural, or both?
Both- and more. We use brands like iS Clinical, Aspect Dr, Cosmedix, Societe, DermaQuest, and PCA Skin- all of which are designed to treat complex skin concerns with results-driven actives. They’re free from irritating junk, and packed with ingredients your skin can recognise and respond to. Think: chirally-correct formulations, botanical actives, and science-backed delivery systems. Basically: gentle enough for barrier repair, powerful enough to shift real skin concerns.
What happens in a treatment- will I leave red or raw?
Not unless that’s the goal. Every treatment is tailored to your skinon the day. That means we always factor in barrier health, sensitivity, your lifestyle (e.g. if you're heading to an event), and your long-term plan. Some treatments have zero downtime. Others- like microneedling or clinical peels can involve redness or peeling. But you’ll always know exactly what to expect, and your post-care is mapped out for you.
Can I book a treatment without knowing exactly what I need?
Yes- and to be honest, we prefer that. You don’t need to know the name of a peel or the settings on a device. You just need to know what’s bothering you, and we’ll handle the rest. Booking a Skin Health Consultation is the best way to start if you're unsure. If you're after something lighter like LED or a basic peel, you can book that directly — and we’ll still customise it on the day.
Do you treat darker skin tones?
Yes- confidently and with experience. Treating melanin-rich skin requires understanding, not just caution. We know how to treat pigmentation without making it worse, how to support barrier health without overstripping, and how to navigate conditions like PIH or acne scarring on deeper skin types. Representation matters here. So does science. You can trust that you're safe with us.
Is it worth coming in if I’ve already seen a derm?
Definitely. Dermatologists are essential for things like prescriptions and diagnosing medical conditions- but most don’t have the time or tools to support your skin long-term. That’s where we come in. Our work is collaborative- we can support your skin between derm visits, help strengthen your barrier after prescription use, or take over the maintenance and results phase once you’ve finished with oral medication like isotretinoin or antibiotics.
Will I need to change my skincare products?
Maybe- but only if they’re holding you back. We won’t rip everything off your shelf, and we won’t make you feel bad for using supermarket skincare. But if something’s causing issues or blocking progress, we’ll explain why and suggest upgrades. You’ll never feel pressured, and we always work within your budget where we can. Our goal is for you to understand your skin- not feel overwhelmed by it.
