Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that primarily affects the central face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, sensitivity, and acne-like bumps. It commonly develops in adults over 30 and can be triggered by sun exposure, hot drinks, alcohol, spicy foods, stress, and extreme temperatures. Although the exact cause is unknown, rosacea is believed to be linked to blood vessel abnormalities, genetics, immune system activity, and skin barrier dysfunction. There are four main types: ETR (redness and flushing), papulopustular rosacea (acne-like breakouts), phymatous rosacea (thickened skin), and ocular rosacea (affecting the eyes). While rosacea cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed with personalized treatment and proper skincare. Early diagnosis and professional care are key to reducing symptoms and preventing progression.

Rosacea Treatment in Toronto
Reduce Redness. Calm Inflammation. Restore Balance.
At NewDermaMed, we understand how rosacea can affect not only your skin—but also your confidence. Often misunderstood as simple redness or acne, rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can cause persistent flushing, visible blood vessels, sensitivity, and breakouts. It tends to appear on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin and may worsen over time without proper care. Our medical team offers non-invasive, customized treatments designed to reduce redness, calm inflammation, and restore your skin’s natural barrier. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or dealing with long-term symptoms, we create a treatment plan tailored to your skin type and rosacea subtype. With clinically backed technology and expert care, we’re here to help you regain control of your skin and your confidence—one step at a time.
What Is Rosacea?
What Causes Rosacea?
The exact cause of rosacea is still unknown, but several factors are believed to contribute:
- Abnormal blood vessel function
- Genetic predisposition (family history)
- Immune system overactivity
- Skin barrier dysfunction
- Environmental triggers, such as:
- Sun exposure
- Hot beverages and spicy foods
- Alcohol
- Stress or emotional changes
- Temperature extremes
Common skincare irritants, poor product choices, and untreated inflammation can also worsen symptoms over time.
Types of Rosacea
Rosacea is classified into four main subtypes:
- Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR)
- Persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels
- Papulopustular Rosacea
-
- Redness with acne-like breakouts
- May resemble hormonal acne in adults
- Phymatous Rosacea
-
- Thickened, uneven skin texture (often on the nose)
- Ocular Rosacea
-
- Affects the eyes: dryness, burning, irritation
- May be present with or without facial symptoms
