Rosacea Awareness Month: A Provider’s Perspective on Treating Rosacea the Right Way

Rosacea is more than just occasional redness—it is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can be persistent, frustrating, and difficult to treat, especially without expert guidance. March is Rosacea Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to discuss real solutions for managing rosacea effectively.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) specializing in aesthetic medicine, I have worked with countless patients who struggle with rosacea. But my connection to this condition goes beyond the clinical side—I personally experienced the challenges of managing rosacea, and I understand firsthand how overwhelming it feels.

Through both my personal journey and my professional experience, I was determined to develop a comprehensive approach that actually works—a system that doesn’t rely on harsh prescriptions or quick fixes, but instead heals, strengthens, and maintains the skin over time.

That’s why at Ananya Aesthetics, we take a multi-layered, results-driven approach to rosacea care—one that combines advanced in-office treatments, medical-grade skincare, and internal wellness support to help patients achieve lasting skin health.

How Do You Know If You Have Rosacea?
Rosacea is often mistaken for acne, allergies, or general skin sensitivity, which can delay proper treatment. Understanding the signs is key to managing it effectively.
Common indicators of rosacea include:

• Persistent redness: Flushing or redness that lingers, particularly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin.
• Visible blood vessels: Broken capillaries that create a flushed or blotchy appearance.
• Acne-like bumps: Small, red, sometimes pus-filled bumps that resemble acne but do not respond to traditional acne treatments.
• Burning or stinging sensations: Skin that feels irritated, tight, or warm, especially after exposure to triggers like heat, alcohol, or spicy foods.
• Eye irritation (Ocular Rosacea): Red, watery, or irritated eyes that feel dry or gritty.

If you experience a combination of these symptoms, our expert providers at Ananya Aesthetics can help determine whether you have rosacea and create a treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs. With a science-backed approach, medical-grade skincare, and advanced in-office treatments, we offer solutions that go beyond temporary fixes to provide long-term relief and skin health.

Why Traditional Rosacea Treatments Fall Short
Most people who come to me for rosacea treatment have already tried multiple products, medications, or treatments—only to be left frustrated by recurring flare-ups, increased sensitivity, or no results at all.

Here’s why many traditional rosacea treatments fail:

• Harsh, overly aggressive treatments damage the skin barrier and worsen sensitivity.
• Steroid creams and prescription medications often cause rebound redness, irritation, and thinning skin over time.
• Over-the-counter "rosacea-friendly" products are not always formulated with clinically effective ingredients.
• One-size-fits-all approaches fail to address the unique triggers and needs of each individual.

Rosacea isn’t something that can be "cured," but with the right combination of treatments and skincare, it can absolutely be managed—without compromising your skin's health in the process. That’s why we designed The Ananya Aesthetics Deluxe Rosacea Package—a complete system built to reduce inflammation, calm flare-ups, and strengthen the skin barrier long-term.

Our Proprietary Approach: The Ananya Aesthetics Deluxe Rosacea Package
At Ananya Aesthetics, we don’t believe in temporary solutions—we believe in long-term skin health. That’s why I created this comprehensive treatment system that combines in-office treatments, medical-grade skincare, and internal wellness support to address rosacea at every level.

1. In-Clinic Treatments: Targeting Redness & Strengthening the Skin
Rosacea-prone skin needs gentle, effective treatments that reduce inflammation without irritation. The backbone of our in-office treatment plan is:

• 6 Confidence Laser Sessions (Powered by Aerolase)—Unlike other laser treatments that can be too harsh for rosacea, this advanced technology in the hands of our expert providers is safe for sensitive skin and calms redness, reduces visible blood vessels, and improves overall skin resilience without triggering flare-ups.

2. Medical-Grade Skincare: Strengthening & Protecting the Skin Barrier
The wrong skincare routine can make rosacea worse—but the right one can transform your skin. I personally curated this 7-step medical-grade skincare routine to help patients maintain results between treatments:

• Refresh Antioxidant Cleanser – A gentle cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin.
• Azelaic Acid 10% – A powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient that reduces redness and prevents post-inflammatory pigmentation.
• Melabright Serum – Brightens discoloration and evens out skin tone without irritation.
• OK, SET, GLOW Serum – Hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier to keep rosacea flare-ups under control.
• Day Dream Moisturizer – A soothing, non-greasy moisturizer that locks in hydration without clogging pores.
• Hydrating Clear Perfection (Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+) – A broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against rosacea flare-ups triggered by UV exposure, designed to leave no white cast on any skin tone.
• CO2 Lift Pro Carboxy Therapy Mask – A deeply hydrating and reparative mask that reduces inflammation and improves skin function.

3. Internal Support: Supplements for Skin Resilience
Rosacea isn’t just a surface-level issue—inflammation within the body plays a huge role in triggering flare-ups. That’s why this package also includes:

• IGG Supplement (1-month supply) – Supports gut health and reduces systemic inflammation.
• Serene Skin Supplement – Targets stress-related inflammation, which is a huge trigger for rosacea flare-ups.

Treatment Timeline: With 6 Confidence Laser sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart and daily use of our curated skincare regimen and supplements to maintain progress and strengthen the skin barrier we can achieve healthier, more resilient skin in 3-4 months.
