Treating Rosacea

How does the Fotona laser treat rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory reaction to reactive oxygen species in the skin’s cellular system. Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser, with a wavelength of 1064 nm, effectively addresses a wide range of vascular and pigmentation issues. The Fotona laser targets red, purple, and violet pigmentation in the skin’s blood vessels by delivering controlled laser energy to coagulate them, thereby reducing their size and intensity.

Procedure

What should I expect?

Fotona SP Dynamis laser treatments for rosacea are quick and effective. Most patients require a series of treatments ranging from a single session for small areas to longer intervals until discoloration fades. Patients can expect a zapping sensation accompanied by warmth, similar to the snap of a rubber band. A personalized treatment will adjust the laser parameters to effectively target and destroy dilated blood vessels based on their size, depth, and color.

Who is a good candidate?

Fotona's rosacea reduction treatments are not recommended for individuals who are potentially pregnant or who suffer from contact dermatitis or active acne. Those using Accutane, other photosensitizers, or products that increase blood flow such as warfarin, salicylic acid, or other vasodilators should also avoid this treatment.

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a vascular condition that can sometimes be confused with other skin diseases such as acne and even sunburn in some cases. Skin that shows persistent redness can be an indicator of rosacea, but this alone is not enough to establish a diagnosis of rosacea, as it could be a feature of other rare skin conditions. Patients suffering from chronic rosacea are ideal candidates for Fotona's rosacea reduction laser treatments.

Advantages

Rosacea is a common skin condition that can be treated with a variety of options to help reduce or control unwanted symptoms. The Fotona SP Dynamis laser system is a powerful, advanced, high-performance laser machine that integrates two industry-standard laser modalities known for their ability to resurface, rejuvenate, and improve skin tone and texture. Currently, there are no permanent solutions for rosacea, but treatments provide relief to patients suffering from persistent rosacea.
