What is Rosacea Treatment?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition causing facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pustules. Professional treatment combines laser/IPL technology with medical management to significantly reduce symptoms and improve skin appearance for long-lasting results.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Identify your triggers (sun, alcohol, spicy foods, stress) and avoid them alongside treatment for best results. Treatment addresses symptoms, but trigger avoidance prevents new flare-ups.

⚠️ Insider Note: Rosacea is chronic and requires ongoing management. Treatment significantly improves symptoms, but maintenance sessions every 6-12 months may be needed to sustain results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can rosacea be cured?

No cure exists, but symptoms can be significantly reduced and controlled long-term with appropriate treatment and lifestyle management. Most patients achieve substantial improvement.

How many sessions do I need?

3-6 sessions typically produce significant improvement, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months help sustain results. Severe cases may need more sessions.

Is laser treatment painful?

Mild stinging sensation like elastic band snaps against the skin—tolerable for most patients without anesthesia. Cooling devices minimize discomfort during treatment.

Will my rosacea come back?

Rosacea is a chronic condition. Treated vessels don't return, but new ones can develop over time. Maintenance treatments and trigger avoidance help maintain improvement long-term.

Which type of rosacea responds best to treatment?

Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (redness and visible vessels) responds excellently to IPL/laser. Inflammatory types with pustules may need additional medical therapy alongside procedural treatment.

Can I have treatment during a flare-up?

Usually better to wait until acute flare subsides. Treating actively inflamed skin can worsen irritation. Once calm, treatment can proceed safely.

What should I avoid after treatment?

Sun exposure, alcohol, hot drinks, vigorous exercise, and hot showers for 24-48 hours. These can increase redness and reduce treatment effectiveness.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

After 24-48 hours typically once redness has subsided. Mineral makeup is gentlest on freshly treated skin. Avoid heavy or irritating products initially.
