Is Rosacea Laser Treatment Right for You?
Anyone who has rosacea knows it’s hard to get rid of the redness – topical therapies are only effective to a point. However, there is an option to erase the damage done and give you an even complexion: laser treatment for rosacea. Rosacea laser treatment uses heat from wavelengths of light to disintegrate the visible, tiny red blood vessels just underneath the skin.
Laser treatment for rosacea is effective for people who have small red lines on their face and for people who tend to have a red face all the time.
People who flush bright red at certain times but tend not to have a constant red face can also be treated with laser treatments, but this is the most difficult form of rosacea to treat.
Laser Treatment Procedures for Rosacea
There are a few types of laser treatments or light therapies – which are sometimes lumped in with laser treatments, but are technically non-laser therapies – your dermatologist may use to clear up your rosacea.
- Pulsed dye laser (PDL). This laser works specifically on the broken blood vessels under the skin because it pinpoints the color red in the skin.
- Embrace the magic of Laser Genesis! This non-invasive laser treatment is a multipurpose marvel, effectively dealing with fine line wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, and even scars. Feel a gentle warming sensation on your skin, as you sit back and enjoy this relaxing, therapeutic procedure. And guess what? It even stimulates collagen regrowth and reduces redness. Exciting, isn’t it?.
The Pros of Laser Treatment for Rosacea:
There are good reasons to choose a rosacea laser treatment:
- The results are long-lasting. You’ll get a better outcome when you get compared to using a topical medicated cream alone. Once your treatments are completed, you’ll see benefits for quite a while; some people have reported having clearer skin for up to eight years. You can also help to maintain your clear skin after the treatment with topical therapies.
- • Risks and side effects are low. When done in a dermatologist’s office and by trained professionals, the risks and side effects of laser treatments are very low.
The Cons of Laser Treatment for Rosacea:
Laser and light treatments are effective options, but come with these caveats:
- If the lasers are used improperly, there are serious risks. Laser and light therapies can cause burns, blisters, scars, and skin discoloration if they’re not used the right way. That’s why having these treatments at The Kopelson Clinic where the staff is trained to use the devices correctly and the risks are very low, is recommended rather than at a salon or spa where the staff may not be properly trained.
