Laser Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a common, uncomfortable skin condition that affects self-esteem and hinders quality of life. Use our Laser Rosacea Treatment to take control of your flare ups and face the world with more confidence!

Get The Facts

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Rosacea symptoms include stinging and burning skin, red or pus-filled bumps that may resemble pimples, patches of rough, dry skin, a swollen, bulb-shaped nose, larger pores, and broken blood vessels.

+ Will Laser Rosacea Treatment make my rosacea go away?

Unfortunately, rosacea doesn’t typically fully go away. However, it can be suppressed! Laser Rosacea Treatment can give you healthier-looking skin, as well as allow you to learn what triggers the flare-ups so that you can better manage the condition.

+ What happens if I don’t treat rosacea?

If left untreated, rosacea may lead to permanent damage.

Rosacea is more common in women than men, but in men, the symptoms can be more severe. It can also become progressively worse and leaving it untreated can cause significant damage, not only to the skin but also to the eyes.

+ Is laser rosacea treatment suitable for all skin types?

Laser rosacea treatment can be performed on various skin types, including fair and darker skin tones. However, certain laser devices are specifically designed for different skin types, so it’s important to consult with a dermatologist or a laser specialist who can determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific skin type.

+ Are the results of laser rosacea treatment permanent?

While laser rosacea treatment can provide long-lasting results, the underlying cause of rosacea is a chronic condition. New blood vessels may develop over time, leading to a recurrence of symptoms. However, maintenance treatments or lifestyle modifications can help manage the condition and prolong the results.

+ Is laser rosacea treatment painful?

Most patients experience some level of discomfort during the procedure. However, the discomfort is generally tolerable and can be minimized with the use of topical anesthetics or cooling techniques. Your healthcare provider will work to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
