Rosacea is a complex chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-like bumps. Individuals with rosacea-prone skin often experience heightened sensitivity and irritation due to a weakened skin barrier. Rosacea is more common in adults over 30 and tends to worsen over time without proper treatment.
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and vascular factors.
Triggers such as sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and extreme temperatures can exacerbate redness and symptoms. An overactive immune response and Demodex mites, which are naturally found on the skin, may also contribute to the condition.


We provide a comprehensive range of advanced treatments for rosacea, including:
Physician-recommended skincare products are clinically proven and can soothe sensitive skin, reduce redness, and promote a healthy skin barrier. These products complement in-office procedures for optimal results.
Advanced laser and LED technologies effectively reduce redness and visible blood vessels by targeting affected areas with precision. These non-invasive procedures offer noticeable improvements with minimal downtime.
Gentle chemical peels exfoliate and refresh the skin, reducing redness and improving texture. Customized peels ensure safety and effectiveness for patients with sensitive skin.
Common symptoms of rosacea include:

Patients experiencing persistent redness, visible blood vessels, or other rosacea symptoms are ideal candidates for treatment.
Franklin Skin and Laser welcomes patients of all ages in Middle Tennessee who want to address their skin concerns. However, individuals with active infections, certain allergies, or specific medical conditions should consult with a physician to determine eligibility.
Most patients notice a reduction in redness, improved texture, and enhanced skin tone within weeks of starting treatment. Consistent use of prescribed skincare products and following personalized treatment plans will help maintain long-term results. Maintenance treatments may be recommended for optimal control.

Recovery varies depending on the treatment method. Most procedures have minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities quickly. Aftercare involves protecting the skin from sun exposure, using physician-recommended products, and avoiding known triggers.
