Rosacea is a common but often misunderstood skin condition that can cause flushing or discoloration, primarily on the face. Characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and periods of remission and flare-up, rosacea can impact confidence and comfort. While there is no cure, the right treatments and skincare routine can significantly reduce symptoms and keep flare-ups under control.
At Turkle & Associates and Phases® Skin Care & Laser Center, we offer advanced treatments and medical-grade skincare to help you manage rosacea and achieve a calm, even complexion. Here’s everything you need to know about the causes, treatments, and best skincare products for rosacea-prone skin.
What Causes Rosacea?
While the exact cause of rosacea isn’t fully understood, several factors contribute to its development, including:
- Genetics – Rosacea often runs in families.
- Inflammation – Some research suggests that the immune system is responding to an external trigger, for example:
- Environmental Triggers – Sun exposure, heat or wind
- Diet & Lifestyle – Spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and stress
- Skin Mites & Bacteria – Some studies link rosacea to an overabundance of Demodex mites or certain bacteria on the skin.
- Menopause
Understanding your personal triggers can help you manage rosacea more effectively, but professional treatments and skincare play a key role in long-term control.
Professional Rosacea Treatments
At Phases®, we offer cutting-edge treatments that help calm redness, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier for long-term improvement.
1. Moxi™ Laser – A Game-Changer for Rosacea
The Moxi™ laser is an excellent option for rosacea-prone skin. This gentle yet powerful laser treatment helps:
- Reduce redness and visibility of blood vessels
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
Unlike more aggressive lasers, Moxi™ is safe for sensitive skin and provides noticeable improvements with a series of treatments. Moxi™ utilizes non-ablative laser technology to deliver gentle, controlled energy to the skin. This energy works to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, promoting the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells.
2. Personalized Facials & Monthly Treatments
Regular personalized facials at Phases® can help soothe and hydrate rosacea-prone skin. Professional treatments using medical-grade products provide deep hydration, reduce inflammation, and support overall skin health. At the core of our custom facials are three key components: deep cleansing, exfoliation/extractions, and a mask. Based on your consultation, your aesthetician will determine the precise techniques, skincare products, and serums we utilize in each step to help your skin appear fresh and radiant.
