Is Clear and Brilliant Laser safe for Rosacea patients and sensitive skin?

For Rosacea, the BBL or photofacial might be a better option.  The red color associated with this condition will respond better.

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.

Yes, you can have Clear + Brilliant with Rosacea. I often combine vascular lasers, peels, Botox with clear + brilliant and microneedling/prp for patients with Rosacea.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser treatment and it can be used on patients with sensitive skin or rosacea using the appropriate treatment settings. Remember, the Clear + Brilliant is not a vascular laser and so will not help with the rosacea. 

C and B can be used in Rosacea patients, however I would use more conservative parameters and place you on anti-inflammatory meds for two weeks to reduce any chances of flare ups. Redness from your rosacea does not respond to Clear and Brilliant, and you may require vascular lasers. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
