Rosacea
& Redness
Understanding Redness
Understanding Redness
Occasional flushing is normal—but when facial redness becomes constant, uncomfortable, or easily triggered, it may be more than just sensitive skin. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can cause visible redness, flushing, and small acne-like bumps that worsen over time without treatment.
At Vanguard, our dermatology and aesthetic providers understand how frustrating persistent redness can be—especially in Colorado, where high elevation and intense UV exposure can aggravate the skin. We take a compassionate, individualized approach to care, combining advanced medical therapies, aesthetic treatments, gentle skincare recommendations, and trigger management to restore calm, healthy-looking skin and renewed confidence.
Types and Triggers of Facial Redness
Types and Triggers of Facial Redness
Papulopustular Rosacea
A chronic skin condition that causes persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels, often accompanied by sensitivity or acne-like bumps.
Ocular Rosacea
Redness, dryness, irritation of the eyes and eyelids.
Broken Capillaries and Spider Veins
Tiny, visible blood vessels caused by genetics, sun exposure, or temperature changes.
Sun Exposure
UV radiation weakens capillaries and increases inflammation, making redness more pronounced over time.
Skin Irritation
Harsh skincare products, overexfoliation, or allergies can trigger reactive redness and sensitivity.
Environmental and Lifestyle Factors
Wind, cold weather, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can all contribute to flare-ups.
Flushing and Persistent Redness
