Rosacea Awareness Month
April is Rosacea Awareness Month, a time designated by the National Rosacea Society to promote education, seeking professional help, and to raise awareness within the greater community – and we couldn’t agree more!

What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, characterised by redness, visible blood vessels, and in some cases, acne-like bumps. It often begins with a tendency to blush or flush easily and can progress to persistent redness. Other symptoms may include: dry skin, a burning or stinging sensation, and eye issues such as irritation or redness (Ocular Rosacea).
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it can be triggered by factors such as sun exposure, stress, hot foods, hormones, alcohol, and certain skincare products. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, topical medications, and sometimes oral medications to help manage symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Rosacea
Common Triggers for Rosacea
Identifying and avoiding personal triggers can help manage the condition effectively.

EXCEL V
Excel V targets cosmetic vascular lesions around the face, legs, chest, including Rosacea. This is achieved through advanced laser technology that emits a powerful wavelength of light.
This quick, non-invasive procedure will create a more even skin tone and significantly reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins and other aesthetic blemishes.
Each treatment will be specially customised to ensure the best results for your specific skin condition and desired outcomes.
Approx 15 minutes per session

LASER GENESIS
Laser Genesis is the non-invasive treatment on offer at Flawless Rejuvenation. Genesis laser technology involves sending micro-pulses of laser energy into the skin to combat a wide variety of skin concerns associated with ageing, sun damage, pigmentation, and Rosacea.
Its innovative, advanced technology stimulates cell production and activates new collagen and elastin production to enhance overall skin quality for a youthful, vibrant appearance. Laser genesis offers various benefits and is commonly used on the face, neck, and chest.
In addition to the regeneration of collagen, the treatment can noticeably reduce redness and restore a natural glow.
30 - 60 mins per session
Starting from $185
No Down Time
OTHER TREATMENTS TO CONSIDER
LED Light Therapy and mild skincare can help repair the barrier of the skin, ready for additional treatments. We would really strip back their skincare and look at ingredients that will calm, hydrate and repair the skin.
Lactic peels also help to hydrate the skin and strengthen the barrier of the skin prior to treatments like Laser Genesis and Excel V. The enzymes in these peels help exfoliate the skin, without causing abrasion or friction.
