Sensitive Skin & Rosacea
Overview
Sensitive skin describes skin that reacts easily to environmental factors, skincare products or treatments. Symptoms may include burning, stinging, redness, tightness or irritation.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that commonly causes symptoms similar to that of sensitivity like facial redness and tightness. Some patients may also develop acne-like bumps or small blood vessels.
Because aggressive treatments may worsen inflammation, treatment should be carefully tailored to the individual's skin condition and tolerance.

Treatment Options
Topical/Oral Medications
