Rosacea Treatment at ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center

Rosacea treatment

Rosacea Help – Expert Diagnosis, Personalised Treatment

Dr. Olivera Nikolic, a DHA-licensed dermatology specialist with over 30 years of clinical experience, focuses on calming redness, reducing sensitivity, controlling inflammation, and minimising flare-ups – while respecting the fragile skin barrier that is typical in rosacea-prone patients.

At ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center in Dubai, we offer specialised treatment for rosacea – a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the central face, characterised by persistent redness, visible blood vessels (telangiectasias), flushing, and in some subtypes, papules and pustules that may be mistaken for acne. Rosacea is not a skin type; it is a medical condition that requires a carefully planned, individualised approach.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder with a multifactorial aetiology. Triggers vary between individuals but commonly include:

Environmental – sun exposure, wind, extreme temperatures
Dietary – alcohol, spicy foods, hot beverages
Lifestyle and internal – emotional stress, hormonal fluctuations, certain medications

One of the most common mistakes in managing rosacea is the use of harsh active skincare (strong acids, retinoids, abrasive cleansers) on an already compromised skin barrier. In rosacea, more product is rarely the answer. Dr. Nikolic‘s approach prioritises barrier restoration and gentle, targeted medical therapy.

Treatment at ELEMENTAL is always preceded by a thorough clinical assessment, including identification of rosacea subtype (erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, or ocular) and individual triggers. Dr. Nikolic develops a personalised plan that may include:

Medical Therapy:

Topical prescriptions – metronidazole, ivermectin, azelaic acid, or brimonidine
Oral antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline) at sub-antimicrobial doses for their anti-inflammatory effect
Other systemic agents in selected cases

Barrier-Focused Skincare:

Gentle, non-foaming cleansers and ceramide-rich moisturisers
Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen – physical (mineral) sunscreens are often better tolerated

In-Clinic Treatments (carefully selected):

Certain laser and light-based therapies (e.g., pulsed dye laser, IPL) for visible vessels and persistent redness
Chemical peels may be considered only in suitable cases and with a very gentle approach,
as rosacea-prone skin requires particular caution

Lifestyle and Trigger Management:

Identification and avoidance of individual flare triggers
Stress reduction techniques where clinically relevant
