Long-term management for facial redness, flushing, and rosacea-related breakouts.
Subtype 1
This subtype is defined primarily by persistent facial redness and visible, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia), without the bumps and pustules seen in other rosacea subtypes. Skin often feels sensitive, and flushing can be triggered easily by heat, spicy food, or alcohol.
Hyper-reactive blood vessels that dilate easily, causing persistent redness and visible spider veins (telangiectasia).
Strict sun protection, gentle skincare, and avoiding sudden temperature changes or hot beverages.
Laser therapy (like IPL or Vbeam) to collapse visible vessels, and topical vasoconstrictors (brimonidine).
Myth: The redness is caused by heavy drinking. Fact: While alcohol is a trigger for flushing, rosacea affects many people who never drink alcohol.
When the persistent redness causes social embarrassment or skin starts feeling frequently tight and burning.
