Clinician-led · South Kensington
Rosacea Treatment in London
Personalised plans to calm redness, reduce flare-ups and improve skin comfort. We assess triggers, skin barrier status and vascular components before recommending care.
At-a-glance: Bespoke skincare & lifestyle guidance · Light-based therapies where appropriate · Prescription support via referral if needed · Ongoing review for relapsing patterns.
Rosacea varies by subtype (erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, ocular). We tailor care to your presentation.
Know your triggers
Common triggers include heat, spicy foods, alcohol, hot drinks, intense exercise, strong wind/sun, stress and fragranced/harsh skincare. A simple diary helps spot patterns.
Barrier-first mindset
Over-cleansing and exfoliation worsen reactivity. We prioritise gentle cleansing, consistent UV protection and barrier-repair actives to reduce flare frequency.
Clinic Treatments That May Help
All interventions are subject to consultation — suitability depends on rosacea subtype, vessel pattern, skin sensitivity and overall health. Some treatments are not appropriate for every client.
IPL / Vascular Laser
Targets visible small vessels and persistent redness. Can reduce telangiectasia and flushing with staged sessions.
- For broken capillaries / persistent redness
- Multiple sessions recommended
- Not suitable for all subtypes
Red Light Therapy (LED 633 nm)
Non-invasive, soothing light therapy that calms inflammation, supports barrier function and may reduce flare frequency.
- Comforting, no downtime
- Well-tolerated for sensitive skin
- Combines well with facials
Gentle Mandelic Peel
A very mild AHA peel that may help with background redness and texture without harshness.
- Often better tolerated than glycolic
- Used sparingly in rosacea care
- Introduced within a staged plan
Specialist Low-Strength TCA
Reserved for specific cases (e.g., phymatous change). Requires careful specialist assessment and follow-up.
- Only under medical guidance
- Not for vascular-dominant subtypes
- Longer recovery than light peels
Consultation
Subtype assessment, trigger review and skin exam. We align goals and set a practical plan you can live with.
Gentle, staged care
We start conservatively, review your response and adjust. Education and consistency are the foundation.
Review & support
Rosacea can relapse. Periodic check-ins help maintain gains and adapt to seasons, lifestyle and stress.

Calming, Barrier-First Skincare Picks
For rosacea-prone skin we keep routines simple: gentle cleanse → soothe & support barrier → daily mineral SPF. Introduce one new product at a time and patch test first.
BASE LABORATORIES Hypochlorous Acid Spray
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) mist to gently calm, support the skin’s natural defences, and reduce post-flare discomfort.
- Non-sting, fragrance-free
- Post-cleanse or post-workout
- Pairs well with mineral SPF
AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Bubble Cleanser
Mild, low-pH mousse cleanser that respects barrier lipids while removing impurities without tightness.
- SLS/SLES-free
- Use with lukewarm water
- Pat dry — no scrubbing
Daily mineral SPF (≥ SPF 30)
Mineral filters (zinc/titanium) often feel kinder to reactive skin. Reapply during prolonged exposure.
Optional niacinamide (low %)
Low-dose niacinamide can help support barrier and reduce redness. Start 2–3×/week to assess tolerance.
Important: Always patch test. If irritation occurs, discontinue and consult us. Prescription options may be indicated for certain subtypes.
Rosacea — FAQs
Can rosacea be cured?
Rosacea is typically chronic/relapsing. While not “curable”, many people achieve excellent control with trigger management, barrier care and appropriate in-clinic options.
Is light-based treatment right for me?
Suitability depends on your skin, subtype and vessel pattern. We’ll discuss benefits and limitations and may suggest a staged approach.
What about prescription creams/tablets?
These can help certain subtypes. If indicated, we’ll arrange or liaise for a prescription as part of your plan.
How soon will I see changes?
Barrier improvements can be felt within weeks; redness changes often take multiple steps and reviews. We’ll set expectations clearly at your consult.
