When to see a specialist

  • Rosacea-prone skin: Chronically red and easily irritated skin that may flare up from time to time.
  • Compromised skin barrier: The skin loses moisture easily and becomes dry, sensitive, and more reactive.
  • Inflammatory rosacea: Redness accompanied by acne-like bumps and skin inflammation.
  • Uneven skin tone: Persistent or recurring redness causes an uneven complexion.
  • Dry and irritated skin: The skin requires soothing care, hydration, and support for the skin barrier.

Common symptoms

  • Dry and flaky skin

    The skin is dry, rough, or flaky and may feel tight.
  • Eye irritation

    The eyes may be red, dry, irritated, or feel gritty.
  • Inflammatory pimples and bumps

    Red, inflamed pimples and bumps that may resemble acne but are usually not accompanied by blackheads or whiteheads.
  • Persistent facial redness

    Redness persists or recurs, especially on the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin.

How to prepare for your appointment

  • Bring your ID card or another identification document.
  • Think through your skin problems, their onset, and previous treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a rosacea facial treatment?

Depending on the skin condition and severity of symptoms, it is recommended to undergo a course of treatment (e.g., 3-6 treatments) and then have regular treatments according to the cosmetologist’s recommendation.

Is rosacea facial treatment painful?

The facial treatment is generally pleasant and soothing. Some products may cause a slight tingling sensation, but this is temporary.

When are results visible?

Initial results (reduction of redness, calming of the skin) are noticeable after the first treatment, but regular treatment and home aftercare are necessary to achieve lasting results.

Can I return to my daily activities immediately after the treatment?

Yes, the treatment does not require recovery time. The skin may be slightly red, but this subsides quickly.

Does the treatment also help with acne?

Although the symptoms of rosacea and acne can be similar, they are different conditions. This treatment is specifically for alleviating rosacea symptoms. For acne, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or choose the acne facial treatment pHFormula, which we also perform at Meliva.
