Rosacea

Rosacea is an underlying condition, not a surface one. Kim assesses it properly, treats the cause where a prescription is appropriate, and builds a skincare plan around that, not instead of it.

The condition

Why skincare alone often isn't enough

Rosacea causes persistent redness, visible blood vessels and, for some people, bumps or sensitivity, most often across the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. It can look like ordinary redness or sensitive skin, which is why it is often treated with creams that were never going to fix it.

Because rosacea is an inflammatory condition rather than a cosmetic one, the starting point is a proper assessment, not a product recommendation. Where prescription treatment is appropriate, that comes first. Skincare is then chosen to support the skin around it, not to carry the whole job on its own.

Before you decide

Common questions

Is rosacea the same as sensitive skin?

No. Sensitive skin reacts to products or the environment; rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition of the skin's blood vessels. The two can look similar, which is why a proper assessment matters before choosing a treatment.

Can skincare alone treat rosacea?

Gentle, well-chosen skincare can help manage the surface symptoms, but it does not address the underlying inflammation. Kim's approach is to assess whether prescription treatment is appropriate first, and build any skincare plan around that.

What triggers rosacea?

Common triggers include sun exposure, heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress and certain skincare ingredients, but triggers vary from person to person. Part of the assessment is working out what applies to you.

Is rosacea treatment available in Marbella?

Yes. The consultation is always online, so this is available wherever you are, in the UK or Marbella.
