Rosacea is the appearance of a reddened face, progressing to the appearance of visible capillaries as you age. The bad news is that creams and medications are almost completely ineffective. The good news is that it can be well controlled with use of the right laser. The VBeam laser, specifically designed to only target the hemoglobin in superficial capillaries, is the perfect laser for Rosacea. The VBeam laser targets on the red color found in these swelling capillaries and shrinks or obliterated new and growing vessels. For people with early Rosacea and a red, chafed look, two to three treatments spaced one month apart will usually return the skin to a normal appearance. For people with a more advanced case, with visible red vessels on the nose and cheeks, more treatments may be needed. Maintenance is required and you should stop in for a touch up treatment once every year to two years to prevent any new vessels from cropping up.
