Beyond Covering Up: A New Understanding of Rosacea

Living with rosacea means more than just dealing with a persistent blush. It’s the unpredictable flare-ups, the burning and stinging sensations, and the constant effort to avoid triggers that can impact your confidence and daily life. While conventional creams and medications can offer some relief, they often only manage the surface symptoms, leaving the underlying causes unaddressed.

At Harley Street Medics, we see your skin as a window to your body’s overall health. We believe the most effective rosacea treatment is one that not only calms the visible inflammation but also investigates

why it’s happening. Our pioneering approach unites the best of conventional dermatology with a holistic, root-cause methodology for results that are more than just skin deep.

Our Unique Two-Pronged Approach to Rosacea

We have developed a comprehensive rosacea protocol that works on two fronts simultaneously: calming the external symptoms with advanced technology while healing the internal imbalances that fuel the condition.

The Functional Health Investigation: Uncovering Your Triggers

Rosacea is increasingly understood as a condition linked to systemic inflammation, often originating in the gut. This is known as the gut-skin axis. Our functional health approach seeks to identify your unique internal triggers through advanced diagnostics, which may include:

  • Gut Microbiome Analysis: Assessing for imbalances in gut bacteria and conditions like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) or H. Pylori, which are significantly more common in individuals with rosacea.
  • Comprehensive Stool Testing: Evaluating markers for gut inflammation and intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), which can drive systemic inflammation and skin flare-ups.
  • Hormone Panels: Identifying hormonal imbalances, such as fluctuations in cortisol (the stress hormone), that can be a major trigger for rosacea.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy: Calming Redness & Veins

While we work on the internal cause, we use state-of-the-art IPL therapy to provide effective relief from the visible symptoms of rosacea. IPL is a light-based treatment that is highly effective for:

  • Reducing Persistent Redness: The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, gently heating them and causing them to collapse and fade.
  • Diminishing Broken Capillaries: IPL specifically targets and eliminates the tiny, visible spider veins (telangiectasias) common in rosacea.
  • Improving Skin Tone and Texture: By stimulating collagen production, IPL helps rejuvenate the skin for a smoother, more even complexion.
  • This integrated method ensures we are not just chasing symptoms. We calm the fire within while simultaneously repairing the visible damage, leading to clearer skin and longer-lasting remission.

Your Personalised Rosacea Treatment Plan

In-Depth Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough assessment with one of our consultant dermatologists to discuss your history, symptoms, and goals

Root-Cause Diagnostics

Based on your consultation, we will recommend specific functional tests to pinpoint the underlying drivers of your rosacea.

Integrated Treatment Protocol

We design your bespoke plan, which will include

  • A course of IPL treatments (typically 3-6 sessions) to reduce redness and visible vessels.
  • A targeted anti-inflammatory nutritional plan to support gut health and eliminate dietary triggers.
  • Professional-grade supplements such as Omega-3s, zinc, and specific probiotics to reduce inflammation and support the gut-skin axis.
  • Lifestyle and skincare guidance to manage stress, avoid environmental triggers, and protect your skin barrier.

Real Patients, Real Results

Frequently Asked Questions

Our integrative programme is unique because it combines advanced external treatments like IPL with an internal, root-cause investigation. This allows us to calm your current symptoms while reducing the likelihood of future flare-ups, offering a more sustainable, long-term solution

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick "snap" similar to a rubber band against the skin. A cooling gel is applied during treatment to ensure your comfort, and the sensation is very brief.

There is minimal to no downtime. You may experience a mild, sunburn-like redness and some slight swelling for a few hours to a couple of days, but you can typically resume your normal activities immediately. It is crucial to avoid sun exposure after treatment.

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3 to 6 IPL treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Your consultant will create a precise schedule based on your specific needs during your consultation
