Redness, Rosacea & Pigmentation
Persistent redness, rosacea, visible thread veins or cherry angiomas are common vascular skin concerns caused by changes in the small blood vessels close to the skin’s surface. Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that can lead to flushing, sensitivity, burning or stinging sensations, and visible capillaries, most often affecting the cheeks, nose, and chin. Thread veins, also known as broken capillaries, develop when small blood vessels become dilated or damaged. While often harmless, they can cause uneven skin tone and persistent redness.
Pigmentation concerns occur when excess melanin is produced in the skin, leading to dark spots, uneven skin tone, or patchy discolouration. Sun damage is one of the most common causes and can present as sun spots, age spots, or a generally uneven complexion. Melasma is a more complex form of pigmentation, often influenced by hormonal changes, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and sun exposure, and typically appears as symmetrical patches on the face.
