The redness in my face is painful.
Answer: Vbeam laser can help treat rosacea Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Re: Best Rosacea Treatment
The redness that you see in acne rosacea is due to tiny, active blood vessels close to the skin’s surface. Getting rid of the blood vessels can be accomplished with a laser like V-beam. This laser uses the 595nm wavelength which is specialized for entering the blood vessels in order to seal them up, rendering them as useless tissue. The 595nm is readily absorbed by the hemoglobin in your blood. So its function is very specific and ideal for clearing unwanted blood vessels in the skin.

Answer: Best Rosacea Treatment? Thank you for posting your question. Once diagnosed clinically, acne rosacea can be treated in a similar way to other types of rosacea through topical application of an anti-bacterial agent such as Metronidazole or oral medication such as tetracycline or doxycycline, which keeps the bacterial component under control and also has an anti-inflammatory benefit. In extreme cases, Isotretinoin can have a benefit as well. I hope that this has been helpful and I wish you well in your treatment. Best wishes, Dr Ariel Haus, London.

Answer: Rosacea Treatment There are many options available for treatment of rosacea. In our practice, many patients are satisfied with the Excel V laser for treating rosacea. The Cutera Excel V Laser treatment is best used to improve Rosacea, and overall facial redness. Two different lasers used to treat acne rosacea. The first laser treats more superficially, right below the skin. The second laser has a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper. This laser can penetrate the deeper blood vessels, providing a more comprehensive, accurate treatment for rosacea. The result: Pores tighten, glands shrink, facial rejuvenation, nice glow due to collagen reformation. Skin starts to clear, redness is reduced. We don’t just treat surface blood vessels, we go deeper since the vessels have a variety of depth. So to achieve the best results, you should not treat the surface alone, but also target the deeper layers. For best results, it is best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist. Thank you for your question, best of luck!
