Rosacea Treatment
If you are among the 16 million Americans who suffer from redness, inflammation and other effects of Rosacea, Rosacea Treatment is for you.
Restored skin tone and color on all areas of the skin through the gentle elimination of broken capillaries and other visible vascular structures.
If you experience the redness, inflammation, and other effects of rosacea, our Rosacea Treatment may be a solution for you. If you have been exposed to any sun, tanning beds, or self tanners, you will need to wait to receive the treatment. Our staff can determine how long the wait will be, and will help you determine the best treatment to reach your skin care goals.
Using Sciton's ClearScan laser technology, broken capillaries and other visible vascular structures will be gently eliminated from the upper layers of your skin surface. Unwanted vessels will be preferentially heated by the laser energy. As they heat, the blood vessels will break down and shrink, becoming less noticeable.
There is little risk in the treatment of benign conditions. In some cases, depending on your response to the treatment and the result desired, repeat treatment will be necessary. Your doctor will discuss potential risks of your specific condition prior to treatment.
There should be little to no discomfort, however it varies from patient to patient and depends on the treatment. There is no need for anesthesia and your physician will discuss your options to properly manage any discomfort from the treatment. Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. The ClearScan laser beam will be delivered precisely to the area of your skin being treated. You may briefly feel a warm or hot sensation as the laser pulses are absorbed by the unwanted vessels. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated. There should be no prolonged post-treatment discomfort. Your healing time will depend upon your actual treatment. In most cases, there is virtually no downtime and you may resume daily activity immediately. You may experience some redness after the procedure. Your physician will answer questions about temporary changes on your skin color and how they may be camouflaged.
After the treatment, your skin will be pink temporarily but it will resolve over time. Any vessels denatured by the laser will be reabsorbed by your body over a period of time in a natural cleansing process. Most small capillaries will become invisible almost immediately, since they will no longer contain blood.
In some cases, depending on your response to the treatment and the result desired, repeat treatment will be necessary.
It is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You may be given some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. This will minimize your risk of inflammation or redness and ensure the shortest response time. Your skin will be sensitive to ultraviolet light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure. Many of the conditions treated by the laser will have been caused by sun exposure, so avoiding the sun will prolong your new youthful appearance. You need to fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
