What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a very common, chronic inflammatory skin condition that impacts millions of Americans. It causes increased visibility of blood vessels in the face, creating a red or flushed appearance. In addition to skin redness, rosacea can also lead to small pimples or sores on the face. While rosacea isn’t a significant health risk, it can leave people feeling self-conscious if it’s not well-managed.
How does laser treatment for Rosacea work?
One of the most common symptoms of rosacea is the increased visibility of blood vessels in the skin. Some laser treatments use controlled heat from light wavelengths to diminish the visibility of these blood vessels. Certain lasers can be used to decrease the redness of the skin, while others can be used to reduce the thickening of the skin that can accompany rosacea.
