Laser Treatment For Rosacea
Laser Treatment For Rosacea

Why did my rosacea flare up after laser genesis treatment?
Yesterday morning to went in for my first laser genesis treatment at my dermatologists office. I don't have very bad rosacea but my face does flare up and overall I wanted to improve the quality of my skin and have a move even skin tone, and have the skin not be so blotchy.
The treatment went well, and the redness went down within 2 hours and everything looked alright, but this morning on both cheeks I have little red dots which is what I usually get when I have a rosacea flare up. I put on the metrogel but I am just wondering if this is a common reaction to laser genesis with people who have rosacea.
Is it possible that the laser just stressed out my face and in days to come it will calm down or is this maybe a bad sign? If anyone has any experience or knowledge about this I would appreciate some advice, thanks!
When I had my later treatment I never had the red-dot symptoms that you described. Maybe you should wait a few days; I'm sure it'll all go away.
That said... laser treatment isn't really a long-term treatment, anymore than rosacea is a chronic condition. Post-treatment my face improved for a while, but rosacea was never really cured. It always came back during the summer. You just have to be really careful about the external irritants. You can't always do the laser thing every other summer..

Rosacea Laser Treatment Method
Rosacea laser treatment method includes high power light beam for curing the affected blood vessels. The light beam is focused directly on the damaged blood cells for efficient flushing. The technique has been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration and is one of the best treatment methods available nowadays. The treatment may include more than one two-three rounds of exposure, but with each round the effects of disease start declining. The cost per visit varies across places and one may have to shell as high as $500 for a single treatment session.
Pulsed Dye Laser is one of the most common techniques used and has shown nearly 80% success rate in removal of redness and flushing of blood vessels. In addition KTP , Diode and Nd:YAG lasers have also been developed in the recent times. However, they use a very intense and powerful beam which can lead to skin thickening and swelling so CO2 is used to remove the skin thickening. Results have shown a 40-60% reduction in the skin redness, burning, itching and dryness in just 2-3 rounds of laser exposure. However, the permanent effects of the treatment technique are only visible after a period of 4-5 months.
The method uses strong beam which can cause serious damage to the skin cells. It may cause temporary swelling on the face and the process can be uncomfortable at times. In severe cases, it can also cause the mutation of cells ultimately leading to the creation of cancerous cells. A new class of light treatment methods called Intense Pulsed light (IPL) is also used by some doctors and uses high density beam from a light source which is less dangerous. However, it require 5-7 rounds, but with the reduced harmful effects it can be beneficial against laser treatment methods for Rosacea.
