Rosacea Treatment - City Clinic Marbella

Aesthetic▸Facial Treatments

Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. At City Clinic Marbella, we offer personalized treatments using gentle laser technology, anti-inflammatory skincare, and barrier-repair protocols to calm sensitivity, reduce flushing, and improve overall skin comfort.

Many individuals with rosacea struggle with triggers such as heat, stress, sun exposure, spicy food, or skincare products that worsen symptoms. Our approach focuses on reducing vascular visibility, strengthening the skin barrier, and minimizing flare-ups through advanced medical treatments such as Harmony XL Pro vascular laser combined with a tailored home routine.

The result is a more balanced complexion, fewer outbreaks, and improved skin confidence through a safe and progressive plan.
