Rosacea is a very common condition of diffuse redness in the facial skin, but the affected area sometimes also contains small broken capillaries and larger facial vessels. 207 LASER™ – employs a unique 1064nm laser that can clear Rosacea and vessels in quick, gentle treatments without skin contact or cooling.

Rosacea is characterized by areas of diffuse redness on the face, but it may also include various small broken capillaries and larger telangiectasias. Our laser offers versatility, allowing for the treatment of larger diffuse redness areas in a quick, easy manner. With a simple lens change, it can target broken capillaries and larger vessels with higher fluences. The treatments are uniquely gentle and quick, with no need for gels or skin cooling and no contact with the handpiece.

Patients are typically over the age of 30, however.  Rosacea can occur in children.  Unfortunately, there’s no known cause of this often undiagnosed condition.  There have been reports that Demodex mites play a pathogenic role when there’s a high concentration found in cultures.

Rosacea often presents with pustules and papules that are present on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and around the eyes.  Spider veins and erythema are also identifying markers.  Severe cases of Rosacea that have deep inflammation on the nose can lead to an irreversible condition called rhinophyma – often requiring excision.  It’s best to consult a physician for a proper diagnosis.

Rosacea can be managed by implementing and adhering to a strict diet as well as making other lifestyle modifications.  Here are a few tips to consider: hot foods, drinks, ingestion of alcohol (red wine), sunlight, excessive heat, and topical medications all exacerbate rosacea.  We recommend applying sunscreen if you’re in the sun and using green-based cosmetics to help mask the redness.  To learn more about Rosacea and how to manage the condition successfully, contact us today.
