Rosacea is a result of sun damage, auto-immune dysfunction, allergies, skin sensitivity and skin over-reactivity. Those who suffer from rosacea and general skin redness typically experience skin redness, broken capillaries, flushing and hypersensitivity to certain stimulants like heat, cold, alcohol, stress, exercise, etc. The focus of treatment should be on getting the skin in better health, reducing whatever stimulates or exacerbates skin redness and inflammation, and treating the actual vessels.
