Answer: Lasers are a Great Solution...in the right hands. Hi Vegansmile, There are definitely new treatments available to help treat rosacea today so you're in luck. Your doctor may suggest using a laser, the magic tool of the 21st century, but the use of the wrong tool in the "slightly less experienced hands" of a doctor who may be well meaning, but lacks the years of knowledge and skill to understand and truly treat your underlying problem, may lead you down a very expensive and unhappy rabbit hole. There is no cure, but with consistent use of the right meds for you, use of sunscreens and possibly the use of lasers for some of the smaller blood vessels that may be bothersome your level of control can be more than satisfactory. Hope this helped! Dr. S

Answer: Cutera Rosacea Red face
In Rosacea, we use the Cutera Nd:Yag for physical vessels that track along the surface of the skin. The Limelight IPL works for diffuse redness. Topical creams such as Finacea may also be helpful. Rosacea is an ongoing problem and you will need multiple treatments to get the redness under control. Then on a yearly basis, 1 or 2 treatments may be necessary to keep it under control. Fraxel sessions are not specific for Rosacea.
