FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that causes facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small red bumps that resemble acne.

There is currently no cure for rosacea, but the condition can be managed successfully with the right treatment plan. Prescription medications, gentle skincare, daily sunscreen use, and avoiding triggers can help control symptoms and prevent them from worsening over time.
