Causes of rosacea

In the dermatological literature, opinions differ on the origin of rosacea and there are several different categorisations of the skin condition, so the recommended treatments vary. It is therefore difficult to offer a general solution to the skin problem, and many rosacea patients report that as many places they have been to as many different treatments have been recommended. 

Among the most common causes of skin problems are extreme hormonal and negative environmental influences, the use of harmful personal care products, abnormal diet and excessive stress. These causes cause the skin and connective tissue to become imbalanced and lose its protective capacity, and the most common skin symptom on the face is skin sensitivity and rosacea, which is actually a symptom of an established disease and not just a cosmetic problem. According to statistics, rosacea affects between 8 and 10% of the population, but in practice it affects many times that number. The redness and vascular inflammation caused by inflammation of the connective tissue can affect the cheeks, but in many cases the whole face.

According to our latest research, the causes of rosacea require complex treatment and may include:

1. Muscular damage to the face

 Too much stress, or a failure to cope with stress, causes increased muscle tension, and the facial mimic musculature becomes abnormally spasmodic, even atrophied. The muscular system is deposited on the bones of the face, the triad of skin, connective tissue and muscle is disrupted. The tendons and ligaments become shortened and stiff, but the flattening causes not only inflexibility but also a severe lack of nutrients and oxygen, so the muscles atrophy, the skin structure is damaged and it becomes severely dehydrated. The flattened, atrophied muscles further press on the blood vessels and block the face's circulation. Impaired function of the arterial system blocks nutrient supply, and blockage of the venous system can cause dilatation of venous blood vessels and accumulation of toxins. The disruption of blood supply blocks skin formation and the body builds connective tissue instead of skin.

2. Thinning of the epidermis of the skin

Due to the reduced nutrient supply, skin building and regeneration is damaged, and the epidermis may even become thin. This makes treatment very difficult and our main task is to strengthen the skin.

3. Thickening of connective tissue

To help the skin's defensive function, the thinning of the epidermis is compensated by the thickening of connective tissue. This is actually scar tissue that blocks skin pores, inhibits skin turnover, sebum and demodex mites from exuding from the skin. The surface of the skin may feel rough to the touch, but in many cases the lesion is only visible under a magnifying glass. The closure of the connective tissue prevents the normal life cycle of the demodex mites. They become almost cave-in and establish colonies in the skin, where they die and their waste products cannot be excreted from the skin. The overgrowth of demodex mites deep in the skin, in the connective tissue, causes very serious problems and damage to the skin structure, the first symptom of which is redness. This is perhaps the most important task to be tackled in normalising rosacea skin.

4. Increased facial skin roughness

We distinguish between two types. One is when deep connective tissue nodules develop due to food intolerance and the skin defends itself by increased scabbing, the other is when a fungal infection causes a thickening of the skin with a disc. Increased scabbing strengthens the demodex mites and, to make matters worse, the irritation also causes the skin to produce increased sebum, which causes further demodex burden. 

5. Venous return obstruction in the face

Sensitive mentalities and increased stress cause increased tension in the muscles of the jaw, which can stiffen and atrophy, preventing full facial circulation. The removal of used blood, full of toxins, becomes impeded, the veins dilate and the skin becomes almost viscous. Muscular regeneration can be a solution in this case.

6. Formation of arterial collaterals in the skin

The tension and atrophy of the jaw muscle causes the main artery supplying the face to narrow or even block. To compensate, the body creates extra, superficial blood vessels to improve the blood supply to the face. Removal of these by light therapy or laser is only recommended after skin structure and musculoskeletal regeneration.

7. Increased sebum production

Blocked circulation causes pores to dilate and sebum production to increase. All patients with rosacea have a T-zone problem, even if it is not visible because of the connective tissue blockage. Blackheads, like rosacea, irritate the skin, the connective tissue and this causes severe chronic and then acute inflammation of the connective tissue. Since demodex mites feed on sebum, they easily multiply in the skin, further irritating the skin and causing further increased sebum production.

8. Shift in the microbiological flora of the skin, skin infection

The shift in the slightly acidic pH of the facial skin, the structural damage to the skin, the proliferation of demodex mites, causes a shift in the microbiological flora of the skin. 

Skin infections can develop suddenly overnight and are usually the result of an acute bacterial or viral infection. In this case, the skin is red due to acute inflammation and there is no vascular involvement. In this case, if we react in time and take proper care of the skin, we can achieve a very rapid improvement. In a few weeks the skin symptoms will disappear completely. In other cases, improper treatment of deep connective tissue nodules causes the skin to become infected and the resulting acne rosacea causes serious structural damage to the skin. 

9. Redness caused by damaged skin structure

80% of women suffer from skin imbalances, mostly caused by synthetic cosmetics. Chemical sunscreens, perfumes and strong surfactants are the most harmful. Skin irritation caused by chemicals and environmental toxins can be easily treated with proper care.

10. Gluten toxicity

Gluten intolerance affects 0.1% of people, while at least half of people are gluten intolerant. Industrial chemicalised, genetically modified grains are the cause, because they have artificially created gluten structures so strong that a weaker person cannot digest them. This causes inflammation of the digestive tract, malabsorption, and immune system damage. This all affects the skin. It is our experience that rosacea patients who follow a gluten-free diet recover from half as many treatments as those who do not.

11.Histamine overload in the body

Immune system weakness due to gluten toxicity, liver overload, body toxicity, or simply an enzyme deficiency can also cause food intolerance, which causes histamine overload in the body and usually the first symptom is abnormal facial redness due to tissue inflammation. 

12.Hormonal changes

The extreme hormonal changes of adolescence, pregnancy and the changing age can trigger rosacea or aggravate existing skin symptoms, because hormonal changes are very conducive to the reproduction of demodex mites.

13. Vascular weakness

This is the rarest type of rosacea, whether it develops due to high blood pressure or abnormal changes in the circulatory system. In this case, the vascularity of the face is constantly developing and present. Weakness of the arteries reduces skin metabolism and nutrient supply to the skin, while venous weakness inhibits the elimination of toxins and can lead to skin imbalances, which facilitate the proliferation of pathogenic agents.

The above causes are often mixed, and in the case of skin with intense rosacea symptoms, they are usually cumulative. It is worth examining the skin at 6X magnification to tailor the treatment to the underlying causes.

Are internal problems also significant?

In some cases, the shift in skin balance is aggravated by an internal organ problem. In such cases, in addition to skin resurfacing and Demodex rebalancing, it is also worth addressing these internal triggers if lasting results are to be achieved. 

Due to the disturbance of the internal blood supply, the presence of parasites and parasites in the internal organs is a common cause of inflammation and food intolerance.

DRHAZI Natural Skin Renewal

The basis of skin balance is to develop skin texture and microbiological balance together, in parallel, carefully balancing. Skin renewal is individual in each case, it is only the tendencies that can be taken into account to normalise skin imbalances.

What are the steps in this process?

1. Normalisation of the Demodex mite population - the most important role in skin damage and the development of skin problems. It is not only its abundance but also its aggressiveness that should be considered. There are cases where fewer mites cause more severe inflammation, due to the stronger aggressiveness of the bacteria in the mites.

2. Reducing inflammation and treating bacterial infection with natural modern active ingredients

3. Removal of inflammation-inducing nodules - professional deep manual cleansing helps to promote healthy skin texture.

4. cellular renewal of the skin structure with modern dermal active ingredients and nanopeptides developed by biotechnology that recode the DNA of the cells to function properly.

5. Removal of the abnormally thickened stratum corneum or abnormally thickened connective tissue layer by grinding with modern sterile crystals. 

6. Sebum control, most often required in the T zone area.

7. identifying and eliminating internal causes - most commonly internal inflammatory nodules, allergies, food intolerance, gluten sensitivity and gluten poisoning.

Once the skin texture has been normalised, it is easy to maintain beautiful, healthy skin with the right care.

If we want healthy and beautiful skin, the primary goal should be to restore skin balance by eliminating the root causes.
