Is it ok to have derma rolling with mild rosacea?

Hello,
Thanks for your question.

Any trauma to the skin can cause aggravation of rosacea, and laser may needed to counter this. If you choose to go with derma rolling, then have an experienced doctor assess you.
Please note, medical advice is given as general advice only and is not a substitute for a full consultation and examination.

Telangiectasia and rosacea can become sensitized to the dermaroller treatment as the process will cause local damage to the top layers of skin. You may want to try pulsed dye laser before and after the microneedle treatments. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Any trauma to the skin, including fractional lasers, or even dermarolling can flare up rosacea. I frequently treat acne scarring patients with fractional lasers, only to flare up the rosacea, as blood vessels can increase after laser. The solution is to decrease inflammation ( with antibiotics such as tetracyclines), then treat the redness with a laser such as V Beam. RegardsDr Davin LimLaser Dermatologist
