Rosacea is a chronic skin condition, not just 'sensitive skin,' that can flare up and relapse often. Common symptoms include redness, broken blood vessels, papules, and pustules, typically appearing in middle to late adulthood but possible at other ages. The practice offers various medical treatments, including topical and oral prescriptions for severe cases, and medical skincare regimens tailored to benefit rosacea symptoms. Rosacea benefits from expert evaluation, personalized treatment, and the right skincare approach, and can be effectively managed with a proper plan.

If you notice persistent redness or irritation, it may be time for a closer look. Hubbell Dermatology & Aesthetics recommends scheduling an in-person consultation to receive a diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to your specific skin needs.

Tanning beds are not healthy and are not a safe alternative to sun exposure; they never were. They are a source of intense ultraviolet light that causes significant DNA damage, leading to a greatly increased risk for skin cancer (including melanoma) and premature aging/wrinkles. The World Health Organization classifies tanning beds as a Class 1 carcinogen, in the same category as cigarettes and asbestos. A 2025 study linked tanning bed use to nearly a 3x increase in melanoma risk, noting they cause melanoma-linked DNA mutations across nearly the entire skin surface. The more sessions you have, the greater your risk. Melanoma is highly treatable when caught early, but only if you are being checked. The practice strongly advises against using tanning beds. If you tanned frequently earlier in life, it is recommended to schedule a full-body skin exam.
