A Programmatic Approach to a Lifelong Condition

Rosacea is a chronic, relapsing skin condition—and it requires a long-term, strategic plan to prevent flare-ups and manage symptoms. At Northern Sydney Dermatology & Laser, Dr Nina Wines offers a programmatic, medical approach to rosacea that goes far beyond creams and band-aid solutions alone.

With over 20 years of experience in medical and laser dermatology, and a subspecialty interest in vascular and redness conditions, Dr Wines helps patients manage rosacea with clarity, strategy, and care.

Understanding Rosacea

Rosacea is a complex inflammatory skin condition that can present in many forms:

  • Persistent facial redness or flushing

  • Visible capillaries (telangiectasia)

  • Bumps and pimples (inflammatory rosacea)

  • Skin sensitivity or burning

  • Thickened skin (phymatous rosacea)

Rosacea often worsens over time if untreated. Early, consistent intervention is essential to prevent worsening blood vessel changes and permanent redness.

Why Laser Alone Isn’t Enough—And Why We Don’t Rely on Medication Alone

Medical therapy (topicals, oral antibiotics) can reduce inflammatory symptoms—but it doesn’t reduce redness or restore your skin’s appearance.

Lasers target the vascular components—and are essential to reducing visible redness and preventing long-term skin changes. Laser also helps reduce demodex and is a well proven combination treatment for rosacea.

The Rosacea & Redness Program: What to Expect

1. Comprehensive Dermatologist Consultation
Your program begins with a thorough consultation with Dr Wines, where she will assess:

  • Your rosacea subtype and severity

  • History of triggers, treatments, and response

  • Skin sensitivity and vascular pattern

  • Any background sequelae from rosacea

2. Individualised Program Design
You’ll receive a short- and long-term plan tailored to your needs, including:

  • The appropriate combination of medical therapy + energy-based devices

  • Layered laser protocols based on vessel size, depth, and your skin type

  • Education about triggers and flare prevention

  • Maintenance strategies to keep your skin calm, clear, and confident

Technologies Used by Dr Wines to complement experienced medical therapy.

Depending on your presentation, Dr Wines may recommend one or more of the following:

  • BBL (Broadband Light) 560nm – Targets superficial vessels and background redness

  • Candela VBeam Perfecta (595nm) – Industry gold standard for rosacea-related vessels

  • 755nm Alexandrite Laser – For deeper or more resistant telangiectasia

  • CO2 Laser – For advanced phymatous changes (e.g., rhinophyma)

These treatments are performed only after detailed assessment and with optimal pain management and safety protocols in place.

  • Subspecialty interest in vascular dermatology & redness disorders

  • Access to multiple vascular devices for tailored laser selection (sometimes laser layering is required)

  • Clear skin restoration + long-term prevention plan

“Redness & Rosacea isn’t cosmetic. It can chip away at confidence and comfort. With the right plan, we can calm and control your skin and help it stay that way.”
