I seldom have breaking out with my rosacea, but I have a lot of small broken blood vessels on my cheeks. Does anyone know a safe remedy? Is it safe to have a facial...even a deep cleansing facial? Are there products I should avoid using on my face?

I have rosacea, and have had facials, but have made darned sure that the aesthetician doing them knows I have rosacea, and knows how to treat it. Harsh cleansers, masks, scrubs, etc., are out, they will irritate your skin WAYY too much. I don't even have my blackheads removed anymore, the steam is too irritating for my face. Many salons/day spas even have a facial that's specifically designed to treat rosacea. Until you know what will and won't work, I'd check with my dermatologist before getting anything done, because it's so easy to make it worse without intending to.
I've found a great product that has really worked for me. It's called Calm, Cool and Corrected by DermaDoctor. (And no, I don't work for them). My face looks better since I started using this than it has in probably 15 years. Here's a link.

I get mine at Nordstroms, but I've heard that Sephora also carries it. I think you can also order it directly from the website.

Can rosacea be cured?
No, but it can be treated. Rosacea is a condition that lasts for a long period of time. For most people it tends to get better and then get worse (flare up). Rosacea may get worse over time if it is not treated. Treatment is aimed at controlling the symptoms and making your skin look better.
How is rosacea treated?
The type of medicine your doctor recommends will depend on how your skin looks. Treatment generally works best at improving the pimples and bumps of rosacea. The redness of the skin is harder to treat. Medicines used to treat rosacea include antibiotics, which can be applied to the skin or taken as pills. Your doctor may recommend an oral antibiotic to start with and follow that with an antibiotic gel or cream called metronidazole (one brand name: MetroGel) that you apply to your skin.
It may take up to 2 months of treatment before the skin looks better. As your skin improves, the amount of oral antibiotic you take can often be cut down or stopped. Treatment with the gel may continue. It is hard to know how long you will need treatment for rosacea. Each person's skin is different, and your doctor may want to adjust your treatment.
Surgery may be used to correct rhinophyma. Enlarged blood vessels on your face can sometimes be removed by using a fine electric needle or with laser surgery.
What can I do to help my rosacea get better?
Certain things seem to make rosacea worse. These include sun exposure, hot drinks, alcohol, spicy foods, strenuous exercise, stress, and hot and cold temperatures. If these things make your rosacea worse, you may want to avoid them as much as possible.
Gentle skin care is best, and your doctor may recommend that you use a mild soap and a moisturizer. It is also a good idea to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher on a regular basis.

I have rosacea and use 2 things: finaca(topical cream) and get laser facials. They have improved th appearance completely. I don't flare as much and the red is under control.
When you go an aesthetician, they should ask you if there are any conditions/issues they should know--tell them about your rosacea. They are plenty of products for use, and they should know how to use them.
Good luck!
