What is rosacea?
Rosacea is redness, sensitivity and break-outs which affect approximately 1 in 10 people. With rosacea, we see a long-term inflammatory process that causes an over-growth of capillary blood vessels in the upper layers of the skin.
These tiny blood vessels are very sensitive and enlarge in response to sunlight, stress, exercise, alcohol, spicy food, caffeine and hot/cold weather. In addition, it can be caused by a change in hormones – pregnancy, menopause etc.
We always want to try and find out what is triggering this histamine response and therefore tackle the trigger rather than the response.
These factors cause flushing and a sensation of burning or stinging. Over time, the chronic inflammation leads to larger vessels developing (this is called ‘telangiectasia’), often seen around the nose, cheeks and chin areas of the face.
How rosacea laser treatment works
IPL Laser is an effective, quick, safe, pain-free and non-invasive way of diminishing these vascular blemishes.
Filtered, wide spectrum light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the blood vessel, heating it to a point the vessel is destroyed. It will coagulate and then the damaged vessel tissues are reabsorbed by the body.
How many sessions will I need?
Results take around a month to six weeks to see. For best results, laser facials for rosacea are recommended four times, three weeks apart.
