Rosacea is a difficult-to-treat chronic skin condition characterized by persistent facial redness, visible veins, blemishes, irritation, and discomfort. It can flare up for a variety of emotional and environmental triggers such as stress, physical activity, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, consumption of alcohol, hot liquids, and spicy foods. The bodily areas most prone to showing signs of rosacea include:
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Nose
- Forehead
While avoiding known triggers and following a gentle skincare routine can help, rosacea symptoms can be difficult to manage, thus leading to feelings of low self-esteem and withdrawal from activities during flare ups.
Thanks to innovations in laser technology, you can now experience a visible reduction in rosacea symptoms and enjoy a clearer, smoother complexion with help from TruZen MedSpa.
Laser Treatment for Rosacea
Laser treatment is an effective, minimally invasive solution for reducing the redness and inflammation typical of rosacea. Wavelengths of light target blood vessels just beneath the skin’s surface without causing damage to surrounding tissue. The heat produced by the laser causes the targeted blood vessels to shrink and be reabsorbed by the body. Laser light also destroys broken capillaries that cause the persistent redness.
Am I a Candidate for Laser Treatment?
Laser treatment for rosacea generally works best for people with light skin Patients with olive skin or even darker skin tones may develop pigment alterations. If you are interested in laser treatment, you should limit your sun exposure. Additionally, laser therapy is not recommended for pregnant women.
The skin experts at TruZen MedSpa can evaluate your condition and determine if laser treatment is right for you.
What to Expect
Results are often quite impressive, with patients reporting a 50 to 75 percent reduction in visible blood vessels after just one to three treatments, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
Some patients notice an improvement in their skin after just one treatment, but it typically takes a series of laser treatments to achieve optimal results. In most cases, we recommend two to four treatments to achieve the look you desire; at the same time, the number of treatments will depend on the extent of your rosacea condition and how well your skin responds.
Most rosacea laser treatments last 20 minutes or less. Patients are often able to resume normal activities that same day.
Is Laser Treatment for Rosacea Permanent?
While laser therapy can result in a clearer complexion. rosacea is a chronic condition that progresses with age and sun exposure. While redness and visible veins will continue to appear, ongoing treatment sessions one-to-two years apart can greatly reduce symptoms.
