What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common, long-term, chronic skin condition which usually occurs on the face and can affect all skin types. It is often more common in women, however, when this affects men it can be more severe. It may manifest itself as persistent redness, spots, visible blood vessels and/or thickened skin, resembling a similar appearance to acne, however the two shouldn’t be confused.
What causes Rosacea?
It is not completely known what causes Rosacea, although some studies have suggested it might be triggered by certain factors that cause the blood vessels in the face to enlarge. Certain triggers that are known to contribute to making the appearance of Rosacea worse are alcohol, exercise, high and low temperatures and stress. Rosacea can also be very sensitive to skin products and the sun.

Rosacea treatments
3D LED Therapy
LED (light emitting diode) therapy is a non invasive, safe and effective light based treatment that uses varying wavelengths of red, yellow, green and blue light to improve the health and overall function of the skin.
LED therapy helps to improve various skin conditions such as acne, acne scarring, blackheads, dry, rough or dull skin, Rosacea and fine lines and wrinkles. It also tightens and lifts the skin and reduces damage caused to the skin by environmental factors that result in sun damage and pigmented lesions.

Skin Peels (Epionce)
Skin peels are a non invasive treatment for all skin types and many skin conditions.
During the treatment a chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is smoother, brighter, rejuvenated and less congested.
Epionce SAL-E Salicylic Acid skin peel
Salicylic acid belongs to the beta hydroxy acid family of acids. Great for reducing oil and congestion in the skin. When used as a peel, this type of acid is good for those who have pimples and acne.
Epionce Lite Peel: Refresh
Formulated to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by increasing cell turnover, the one-step, Aesthetic-strength Lite Peel relieves skin congestion, dullness, sallowness and improves acne, fine lines and wrinkles with no downtime.
Epionce MAL-E Malic Acid skin peel
Exfoliates dead cells on the outermost layer of the skin and promotes cell turnover, leaving skin brighter and more even, and also helping to keep pores unclogged.
Anyone looking to fade discoloration and/or achieve more radiant skin, as well as those who are acne-prone. It’s also a good skin peel for people with sensitive skin , fines lines and wrinkles and for those whom other acids may be too irritating.
