Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the facial skin and can significantly impact quality of life. Its signs include facial redness, intermittent flushing, visible blood vessels, and inflammatory bumps. While rosacea is not life-threatening, it can cause significant discomfort, affect self-confidence, and sometimes lead to symptoms of depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people with rosacea do not seek medical help \u2014 approximately one-third are unaware of their condition or do not pursue professional care. Fortunately, there are solutions that can both support rosacea treatment and help reduce facial redness. One such method is oxygen therapy (HBOT), also known as hyperbaric therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes rosacea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosacea is a condition influenced by several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Overreactive blood vessels<\/strong> \u2013 the small blood vessels in the skin are especially sensitive to temperature changes, sunlight, and certain foods. This can cause persistent or intermittent facial redness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Changes in the immune system<\/strong> \u2013 the skin reacts with inflammation even when there is no immediate threat, triggering redness and pimple-like lesions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Genetic predisposition<\/strong> \u2013 if family members have rosacea, the likelihood of developing it is higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Environmental and lifestyle factors<\/strong> \u2013 sun exposure, stress, hot drinks, alcohol, and spicy foods can trigger rosacea flare-ups.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
