Rosacea
Treating rosacea at ODA Skin Clinic
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that often manifests as redness, flushing, visible blood vessels (couperose), and sometimes inflammation on the face. The condition primarily occurs on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead and can worsen or be quieter in periods.
Although rosacea cannot be completely cured, symptoms can often be significantly reduced with the right treatments, skincare, and lifestyle advice. At ODA Skin Clinic, we look at your skin as a whole and create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your skin condition, symptoms, and goals.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in which the blood vessels in the face react more sensitively to certain stimuli. This can result in redness, a sensation of warmth, visible blood vessels, inflammation, and sensitive skin.
The severity of rosacea varies from person to person. Some people experience primarily redness and sensitive skin, while others also suffer from pimples, inflammation, or a burning sensation.
Rosacea is often confused with acne, but they are two different skin conditions that each require a different approach.

How does rosacea develop?
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully known. However, we do know that various factors can influence the onset and worsening of symptoms.
Common triggers are:
✓ Sunlight and UV radiation
✓ Temperature fluctuations
✓ Heat and sauna
✓ Spicy food
✓ Alcohol
✓ Stress
✓ Intensive exercise
✓ Wrong skincare
✓ Genetic predisposition
Because triggers vary from person to person, we also pay attention to possible triggering factors during a consultation.
How do we treat rosacea?
With rosacea, the focus is on calming the skin, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier.
Depending on your skin condition, the following treatments, among others, can be used:
✓ Circadia Enzyme Treatment
✓ Chemical peels (if suitable for the skin)
✓ Personalized product advice for home
The Circadia Oxygen RX treatment is one of our most frequently used treatments for rosacea due to its soothing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects. This treatment helps reduce redness, supports the repair of the skin barrier, and restores the skin's balance.
In addition, we recommend products that support the skin, help reduce redness, and strengthen the skin barrier.
The goal of the treatment is to reduce redness, inflammation, and sensitivity, and to restore the skin to a calmer, stronger, and better balanced state.
Is rosacea treatment covered?
Rosacea treatments are generally not covered by health insurance. During a consultation, we would be happy to discuss which treatments are most suitable for your skin and symptoms.
