Rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin condition that affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and, in more severe cases, small pus-filled bumps. Flare-ups can last from weeks to months before subsiding, often leaving the skin looking irritated.
Rosacea can sometimes be mistaken for acne due to its appearance, but the two conditions are distinct. While rosacea can affect anyone, it is more prevalent among middle-aged white women. In men, it may present more severely.
Although there is no permanent cure for rosacea, effective treatment can manage flare-ups and alleviate symptoms. At La Rose Clinic, our skincare specialists are here to help. Through a thorough diagnosis, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan designed to soothe your skin, reduce redness, and restore clarity for a healthier, more confident you.

PRP Cellular Matrix
PRP Cellular Matrix is an advanced treatment that uses your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the skin and promote healing. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed to concentrate platelets that are rich in growth factors. These platelets are re-injected into the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin tone. This non-surgical procedure promotes natural skin regeneration and is ideal for addressing aging, acne scars, and skin damage, providing long-lasting, youthful results with minimal downtime.
