What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic condition that causes the skin to appear red or flushed. Rosacea usually shows up around the forehead, cheeks, and nose, but it can also develop on the neck, chest, ears, and scalp. It can often be mistaken for other skin conditions but can be treated and handled if diagnosed properly. Aesthetic Med Studio in Springfield, MO utilizes numerous advanced solutions, including BroadBand Light™ Therapy and RF microneedling, to lighten skin and minimize the symptoms of this chronic disease. Rosacea can happen to almost anybody, but it's widespread among middle-aged women with light skin. Rosacea is a skin condition with no actual cure, but it can be managed. When left untreated, it may worsen over time, causing symptoms to persist and flare up for days or weeks.
How Do You Treat Rosacea?
There is no permanent cure for rosacea, but the right treatments can reduce its appearance and make flare-ups more manageable. Choices for rosacea treatment at Aesthetic Med Studio include:
- BroadBand Light Therapy: Using light energy, our team stimulates collagen production to give your skin a more even tone, as well as a firmer, supple feel.
- INTRAcel™ RF Microneedling: This microneedling treatment is enhanced with radiofrequency (RF) energy to further revitalize the skin, minimizing visible imperfections, such as enlarged pores, acne scars, or rosacea.
What Causes Rosacea?
It's still not entirely clear what causes rosacea, but researchers believe that genetics or family history can play a role. There are several common triggers that are believed to make rosacea worse, including:
- Extreme temperatures outside
- Exercise
- Stress
- Spicy foods
- Sun exposure
- Hot baths
- Alcohol
- Hot drinks

Such a wonderful team and so professional! They are so friendly as soon as you walk in, they answered all of my questions and walked me through the best plan for my skin. They even have a texting system which was so great for any of my questions. I didn’t have to call and ask I was able to just text them. I had this one little red dot on my face that’s been there my whole life. Erina took one look at it knew how to fix it and now it’s gone, and she was so nice and personable. I am very pleased with the service

Rosacea FAQ
Is rosacea transmittable?
No, rosacea is not contagious. It’s not caused by bacteria or a virus, so you can’t catch it through skin contact, airborne particles, or shared items. Despite its visible symptoms, rosacea is a chronic skin condition—not an infection—and it has nothing to do with hygiene.
Is there a cure for rosacea?
Rosacea doesn’t have a permanent cure, but it can be effectively managed with professional care. At Aesthetic Med Studio, Karlene Ruiz offers tailored treatment plans that help reduce redness, inflammation, and other symptoms over time. Many patients find long-term relief through a combination of skincare, in-office therapies, and consistent routines.
Can my rosacea get worse with age?
Yes, rosacea can progress if left untreated. Flare-ups may become more frequent or intense over time. That’s why early intervention is key. Karlene Ruiz works closely with patients at Aesthetic Med Studio to identify triggers, recommend supportive treatments, and slow the progression of rosacea. With the right plan, you can minimize symptoms and protect your skin’s long-term health.
