What can I do for my rosacea and melasma? I have tried hydroquoinone, peels, ipl, Excel v and laser genesis. Laser genesis made it worse with little dark marks on my upper right cheek. I am currently on finecea but it doesn't seem to be helping. I am willing to travel anywhere for treatment.
Answer: Vbeam to treat Rosacea and Cosmelan peel and melarase creams to treat melasma Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

Answer: Halo and BBL The Sciton laser BBL with Halo for combination therapy will help with your melasma and Rosacea. A pre-treatment compound cream for a few weeks pre and post-procedure is reccommended. The BBL can be done the same day as the Halo. The BBL will target capillaries, reducing the appearance of Rosacea. The Halo will reduce appearance of melasma mask, as well as target any sun spots/pigmentary issues. Both of these treatments will induce collagen production in the skin. Using Alastin products pre and post-procedure will increase elastin and rid your skin of its debris resulting you with a more even skin tone.

Answer: Melasma and Sun Spots -- Best Treamtent Is Clear + Brilliant / Fraxel 1927 with Microneedling PRP, Pro Yellow is Useful There is no "cure" for melasma but there are great treatments. We are doing a clinical trial now on clear + brilliant with bleaching and microneedling and getting amazing results. I suggest you see an expert. You will need lifelong treatment, sun protection, skin care. But these treatments can give you improvement and then you maintain. Rosacea can be treated with pulsed dye laser/vbeam or yellow laser at same time. Best , Dr. Emer.

Answer: Laser treatments... Thank you for your question. It appears form your pictures you have melasma not rosacea. If topical bleaching creams like hydroquinone based products, for example TriLuma have not worked you can consider the Fraxel Dual or Clear and Brilliant Permea. In particular the 1927 Thulium which is in both of the aforementioned lasers works extraordinarily well for pigment like melasma. Both will require a series of treatments. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Answer: Melasma and rosacea.. treat each as a unique condition Rosacea is very complex and a tailored treatment program give the best results. This is because there are many types of rosacea (telengtctatic or capillaries, flushing and redness, acne like rosacea, ocular rosacea and even rhinophyma rosacea.)
