The Redness Reset: Managing Rosacea with Expert Care

By Sam, Skin Expert and Clinic Manager at Coastal Goddess

Rosacea can be one of the most frustrating skin conditions to deal with—flushing, sensitivity, breakouts, and that constant underlying redness that just won’t budge. As someone who sees this concern regularly in clinic, I know how emotionally taxing it can be when your skin doesn’t feel like your own. But the good news? With the right approach, rosacea is absolutely manageable—and often, your skin can be calmer, clearer, and healthier than you ever imagined.

Let’s dive into how we treat rosacea at Coastal Goddess—and why prescription skincare, light therapy, and IPL are at the heart of our strategy.

Understanding Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, with symptoms that include redness, visible capillaries, sensitivity, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It tends to flare up with triggers like stress, sun exposure, spicy food, heat, alcohol, or even just changes in skincare.

One of the most important things I always tell my rosacea patients is this: rosacea skin is compromised skin, and it requires not just treatment, but respect. No harsh scrubs, no aggressive actives, and absolutely no guesswork.

Prescription Skincare: Why The Secret Works

We’ve had incredible success treating rosacea with prescription skincare from The Secret. Unlike off-the-shelf products, these formulations are custom-compounded for your skin and contain clinically-proven ingredients to target inflammation, barrier repair, and vascular sensitivity—without irritation.

The Secret’s rosacea protocol works to:

• Reduce chronic redness

• Minimise inflammatory breakouts

• Strengthen the skin barrier

• Soothe reactive skin

• Support long-term skin health

And because it’s tailored specifically to your skin’s needs, you’re not navigating the trial-and-error of dozens of products. It’s professional-grade, medically backed, and easy to use. After all, the best skincare routine is one you actually stick with.

Light Therapy: Calm from Within

Another modality I love for rosacea? LED Light Therapy—specifically red and near-infrared wavelengths. This is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that works beneath the skin’s surface to:

• Reduce inflammation

• Soothe sensitivity

• Stimulate cellular healing

• Strengthen the skin’s natural defence mechanisms

It’s completely pain-free, deeply relaxing, and a fantastic complement to prescription skincare. Many of our patients see a noticeable reduction in redness and flare-ups after just a few sessions.

IPL Therapy: Targeting Vessels & Redness

For more visible vascular symptoms of rosacea—such as broken capillaries and persistent flushing—we often recommend IPL Therapy (Intense Pulsed Light). IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target dilated blood vessels and reduce redness at the source.

It’s especially effective for those dealing with visible surface veins or stubborn, diffuse redness. With minimal downtime and noticeable improvements after a short series of treatments, IPL can be a real game-changer for rosacea-prone skin.

Where to Start

If you’re struggling with rosacea, know that you’re not alone—and you don’t have to live with constant redness or flare-ups. The key is to take the guesswork out of your skincare and let a professional guide your treatment plan.

At Coastal Goddess, we’ll assess your skin thoroughly and create a tailored plan using The Secret prescription skincare, LED Light Therapy, and IPL, to get your skin back to calm, clear, and glowing.
