Reveal a Calmer, Clearer Complexion with Expert Skin Renewal

Rosacea is a common and often uncomfortable skin condition that can impact both confidence and quality of life. At SKIN Clinics in Calgary and surrounding areas, we use advanced light-based technology to gently reduce redness, calm inflammation, and restore balance to your complexion, helping you face the world with renewed comfort and confidence.

Excessive sweating caused by overactive sweat glands, often affecting the underarms, hands, and feet, can interfere with daily comfort, confidence, and quality of life. While sweating helps regulate body temperature, this type of perspiration goes beyond what’s necessary and can occur even without heat or physical activity, sometimes soaking through clothing and creating emotional distress.

At SKIN Clinics, we offer advanced BOTOX® treatment to help manage this condition, serving clients across Calgary and surrounding areas, including Marda Loop, Upper and Lower Mount Royal, Bank View, and Strathcona. When clinical-strength antiperspirants are no longer effective, our dermatologist-led approach provides a trusted solution for long-lasting relief.

How Precision Technology Helps Calm and Clarify Your Skin

Our rosacea treatment focuses on the underlying vascular activity that contributes to redness and inflammation. Using controlled pulses of light, this dermatologist-led procedure reduces visible blood vessels, evens out skin tone, and promotes a calmer, healthier appearance over time.

The Laser Rosacea treatment will target vascularity and inflammation throughout your face. As the laser produces heat to help close down vessels, it can further kill the bacteria on the skin, which may lead to rosacea flare-ups. By using controlled light in specific wavelengths, we can reduce flare-ups, along with redness, pimples, blood vessels, and uneven skin tones.

Benefits of Treatment

This advanced light-based treatment offers more than visible results; it helps restore lasting comfort, balance, and confidence in your skin.

Each session works to calm redness, reduce inflammation, and minimize vascular flare-ups that contribute to rosacea, preventing the condition from progressing. As your skin recovers, you’ll begin to notice a smoother texture, a more even tone, and a visible sense of calm across your complexion.

Beyond surface renewal, this gentle yet powerful technology stimulates collagen production and reinforces the skin’s protective barrier. Over time, your skin becomes stronger, healthier, and beautifully radiant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common symptoms of rosacea?

+ Rosacea often presents as persistent redness, visible capillaries, and sensitivity on the cheeks, nose, or chin. Some individuals experience a stinging or burning sensation, small red or pus-filled bumps, rough or dry patches, or visible veins. In more advanced cases, swelling around the nose and enlarged pores may also occur.

Can this treatment completely eliminate rosacea?

+ Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition, which means it cannot be fully cured—but it can be significantly improved and well-managed. Our advanced, light-based treatment works to calm redness, soothe inflammation, and reduce visible vessels beneath the skin’s surface. Over time, your complexion becomes smoother, more balanced, and less reactive. With consistent care and awareness of personal triggers, you can enjoy lasting clarity and comfort.

What happens if rosacea is left untreated?

+ Without proper treatment, rosacea can gradually progress and become more difficult to manage. Ongoing inflammation may lead to persistent redness, visible capillaries, and skin thickening, especially around the nose. In some cases, it may also affect the eyes, leading to dryness or irritation. Early professional care helps control symptoms, prevent long-term changes, and support overall skin health.

Is this treatment suitable for all skin types?

+ Yes. The procedure can be safely performed on a wide variety of skin tones and sensitivities. Under the guidance of our dermatologist-led team, each session is fully customized using precise settings and wavelengths to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal results for your unique skin profile.

Are the results long-lasting?

+ Yes. While rosacea itself is a chronic condition, the improvements from this treatment are long-lasting with proper care. New capillaries can form over time, but regular maintenance sessions, medical-grade skincare, and daily sun protection help preserve a calmer, clearer complexion for years.

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

+ Most clients describe the sensation as a light warmth or gentle snapping on the skin comparable to a mild elastic flick. Any discomfort is typically minimal and easily managed with cooling technology or a topical numbing agent. Your comfort and safety remain our top priorities throughout every stage of treatment.

How soon will I notice visible improvements?

+ Many clients begin to see gradual improvements in redness and overall tone within a few weeks of their first session. As inflammation decreases and collagen renewal is stimulated, the skin continues to refine and strengthen. After completing a full treatment series, most notice a visibly calmer, clearer, and more balanced complexion.

Does this laser therapy help strengthen sensitive skin?

+ Yes. In addition to calming redness and reducing visible vessels, this advanced laser treatment supports skin resilience by stimulating collagen and improving microcirculation. Over time, it helps repair the skin’s protective barrier, making it less reactive and more balanced against common rosacea triggers such as temperature changes, stress, and environmental factors.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

+ Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or warmth that typically subsides within a few hours. Most clients return to normal activities the same day. Following your provider’s aftercare instructions, including daily SPF use, helps protect your results and promote faster recovery.
