Redness & Rosacea

Facial redness can be persistent and frustrating — whether it appears as occasional flushing, visible blood vessels, or inflammatory bumps. At Bespoke Aesthetics, we understand that redness is more than a surface-level issue. We take a targeted, personalised approach to calm irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce inflammation over time.

What Causes Redness?

There’s no single cause — but common factors include:

Chronic skin inflammation (e.g. rosacea)
Sun exposure or heat sensitivity
Weakened skin barrier from over-exfoliation or harsh products
Dilated blood vessels or broken capillaries
Lifestyle triggers such as alcohol, spicy foods, or stress

Types of Redness & Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that may show up as:
Flushing or persistent redness on the cheeks, nose or chin
Small red bumps or pustules
Visible blood vessels (telangiectasia)
Dry, irritated, or sensitive skin

If you experience recurring redness or skin discomfort, speak to our doctors for a full skin evaluation.

 

Sudden or persistent warmth and redness, often triggered by heat, alcohol, or stress.

Broken blood vessels, usually around the cheeks or nose.

Redness with acne-like bumps or pustules.

Persistent redness with visible vessels and sensitivity.

Flare-ups triggered by skincare, stress, or environmental changes.

We begin each journey with a comprehensive consultation to identify underlying causes — from vascular sensitivity to impaired barrier function.

Your personalised plan may include a combination of:

*️Topical Prescriptions

Used to calm inflammation, repair the barrier, and reduce persistent redness:

  • Azelaic Acid – Soothes redness, reduces papules and pustules

  • Metronidazole Gel/Cream – Anti-inflammatory; helps calm active rosacea lesions

  • Ivermectin Cream – Targets demodex mites; reduces pustules

  • Niacinamide Serums – Strengthens skin barrier, reduces reactivity

  • Ceramide-based Moisturisers – Restores hydration and supports barrier function

  • SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen – Essential daily use to prevent UV-triggered flare-ups

*️Oral Medications

For moderate to severe rosacea or when topical management isn’t enough:

  • Low-dose Doxycycline – Reduces inflammation and acne-like lesions without acting as a full antibiotic

  • Isotretinoin (in select cases) – For resistant or phymatous rosacea under close medical supervision

  • Anti-histamines – Help manage histamine-related flushing in reactive skin

  • Probiotics – May help support gut-skin balance for patients with gastrointestinal triggers

*️In-Clinic Treatments

Targeted treatments to speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and prevent scarring.
