Rosacea can affect your confidence and well-being, but it shouldn’t define your social or professional life. With an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment for rosacea, it’s possible to alleviate its symptoms, control flare-ups, and regain control of your skin.
At the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute, we help you restore balance to your complexion with fully personalized solutions and advanced technology.
More than redness
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that typically affects the cheeks and nose. Its origin lies in the hyperfunction of the sebaceous gland, which causes excessive sebum production and increased skin sensitivity.
This condition can manifest in different ways depending on the individual and the severity of the case, but it is characterized by recurrent episodes and symptoms such as:
What Is Their Relationship?
Acne and rosacea share a same spectrum of skin conditions. In fact, poorly controlled acne can progress to rosacea, especially if the skin’s vascular function is not properly managed.
Unlike acne, rosacea involves less hormonal influence, but its sebum is more fluid and irritating, which weakens the skin’s barrier. This makes the skin more vulnerable to external aggressors, leading to increased sensitivity, intolerance to environmental changes, and a tendency toward dehydration.
The First Step
The clinical diagnosis of rosacea is based primarily on the observation of typical symptoms and analysis of medical history, making tests or biopsies unnecessary to confirm the condition.
At the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute, we have a team of specialized dermatologists to evaluate your case and identify the triggering factors that may be influencing the recurrence of your flare-ups. From there, we design a personalized treatment plan to help you control rosacea and improve both the health and appearance of your skin.
An integrated approach for your skin
Every skin type is different, so each case of rosacea requires a unique approach. Although there is no definitive cure for this condition, the right treatment can relieve symptoms, reduce sequelae, and minimize—or even eliminate—the frequency of flare-ups.
The success of treatment lies in an accurate diagnosis and, when necessary, the combination of different therapies.
Topical therapies are often the first-line option for treating rosacea, as they are applied directly to the skin to help reduce local symptoms and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
Among the most commonly used are ivermectin, metronidazole, brimonidine, oxymetazoline, and low-concentration retinoids.
In more severe cases of rosacea, oral medications—although they have limited effects—can be very helpful in controlling recurrent flare-ups.
Antibiotics such as doxycycline or azithromycin are effective for managing these episodes, while low-dose isotretinoin (a vitamin A derivative) is often used to reduce sebum production and control inflammation.
At the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute, we employ the IPL Nordlys platform, a technology designed specifically to treat vascular conditions like rosacea.
Thanks to its precision and safety, this system delivers controlled energy that gradually reduces visible blood vessels and diffuse redness, improving the evenness of your skin tone. Moreover, IPL Nordlys treatment not only relieves symptoms but also helps decrease the frequency and intensity of flare-ups in the long term.
