Rosacea is a chronic and inflammatory skin condition that manifests as persistent facial redness, flushing, bumps, and visible blood vessels. If you struggle with the discomfort and self-consciousness that comes with Rosacea, KONCEPT® Medical Clinic Kingston offers specialized, medical-grade solutions to control symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and restore skin calmness.
We provide a comprehensive, multi-step plan tailored to your specific type and severity of Rosacea, combining medical management with advanced aesthetic technology.
Rosacea is often mistaken for acne or simple facial flushing, but it is a distinct chronic disorder. At KONCEPT®, our specialists diagnose and treat the four main sub-types of Rosacea:
At KONCEPT® Medical Clinic, we offer a range of professional-grade peels, from superficial (lunchtime) to medium-depth, to precisely target your unique skin concerns.
Characterised by persistent redness and visible blood vessels (telangiectasias) and frequent flushing.
Characterised by persistent redness, along with acne-like bumps (papules) and pimples (pustules).
A rare, severe form that causes skin thickening, typically on the nose (Rhinophyma).
Affects the eyes, causing dryness, irritation, redness, and swollen eyelids.
There is no permanent cure for Rosacea, but with expert management, you can achieve long-term remission and significant symptom reduction. Our strategy integrates three key areas:
Your treatment begins with a detailed medical consultation to understand your condition and identify specific contributing factors (e.g., genetics, Demodex mites, gut health).
Prescription creams and gels targeting inflammation, Demodex mites, and visible blood vessels are the foundation of treatment.
(e.g., Metronidazole, Azelaic Acid, Ivermectin) to reduce papules, pustules, and underlying inflammation.
(e.g., Brimonidine or Oxymetazoline) to temporarily narrow blood vessels and reduce persistent redness and flushing (Erythema).
For more inflammatory or severe cases, we may prescribe low-dose oral antibiotics (like Doxycycline) known for their anti-inflammatory properties, or other systemic medications.
Effective Rosacea control relies heavily on reducing lifestyle triggers. We equip you with the knowledge and tools to minimise flare-ups:
We guide you in keeping a diary to identify personal triggers (e.g., sun, heat, stress, alcohol, spicy foods, specific skincare ingredients).
Advice on gentle, non-irritating, and non-comedogenic cleansers and moisturisers to protect the compromised skin barrier.
Emphasising daily use of high-SPF mineral-based sunscreens (Zinc Oxide/Titanium Dioxide) to prevent the number one Rosacea trigger: UV exposure.
While medication manages the bumps and inflammation, technology is the most effective way to eliminate permanent redness and visible capillaries.
We offer a spectrum of effective, evidence-based treatments, from topical applications to advanced therapy:
ETR (Redness, Telangiectasia)
Highly focused laser light targets and safely destroys the tiny, visible blood vessels and persistent diffuse redness without damaging surrounding skin.
ETR, Papulopustular
Uses broad-spectrum light to close down broken capillaries, treat background redness, and can help with overall skin tone and texture.
Papulopustular
Specific, gentle formulations help calm inflammation, gently exfoliate to manage papules, and improve skin barrier function.
Phymatous Rosacea
For advanced skin thickening (Rhinophyma), surgical procedures or CO2 laser resurfacing can be used to re-contour and reshape the affected area.
Rosacea can be frustrating, but it is treatable when managed by experts who understand its chronic nature and complexity.
We offer the clinical resources and deep understanding required to correctly diagnose your Rosacea subtype and tailor a phenotype-based treatment plan.
We utilise industry-leading laser and light devices (e.g., Nd:YAG, IPL, Pulsed Dye) specifically calibrated to treat vascular lesions and redness effectively and safely.
Rosacea is a condition of remission and recurrence. We are committed to a long-term partnership with you, adjusting your plan as your skin changes to ensure maximum control and comfort.
