Recovery from rosacea & chronic flushing
Wouldn’t it be great if we could control our blushing to a gentle colour on the cheeks, giving us that healthy glow, without the full face flush that comes up without warning?.
Excessive flushing and chronic rosacea symptoms can cause enlargement of the blood vessels in the face and chronic inflammation, so effective treatment provides both a cosmetic and health benefit.
Understanding the triggers for facial flushing gives us the opportunity to manage the symptoms, and the possibility to treat the cause.
