Laser Rosacea Therapy

From Covai Cosmetic Surgery

What Is Laser Rosacea Therapy?

Laser rosacea therapy is an effective way to treat rosacea by targeting visible blood vessels with pulsed dye lasers (PDL), which can reduce redness and flushing by destroying the lining of the inflamed blood vessels.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Rosacea Therapy?

Laser rosacea therapy works best for people with light, untanned skin. It is not recommended for people with a tan, darker skin, blood-clotting disorders, or pregnant individuals. People who scar easily or have insulin-dependent diabetes should also avoid the treatment.

How Is Laser Rosacea Therapy Done?

Your doctor will use a hand-held laser to target specific problem areas. Typically, laser therapy requires a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, with results visible after two to eight sessions, depending on the condition.

Are There Side Effects to Laser Rosacea Therapy?

Some redness and swelling are common immediately after treatment. Your skin may feel tender, and bruising, discoloration, or scarring can occur in some individuals.

How Long Will Laser Rosacea Therapy Last?

While laser rosacea therapy is not a cure, its effects can last for months or even years. Your doctor at Covai Cosmetic Surgery can discuss the best treatment plan for you.
