Rosacea
Combination of Laser and light treatment
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It primarily affects the central part of the face, including the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Triggers such as sun exposure, stress, hot beverages, and spicy foods can exacerbate the condition. Rosacea can lead to discomfort and self-consciousness due to its visible symptoms.
​
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is an effective treatment option for reducing the symptoms of rosacea. IPL works by emitting multiple wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin to target the blood vessels and pigmentation associated with rosacea. The light energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and eventually collapse. This process reduces redness and diminishes the appearance of visible blood vessels.
Additionally, IPL can stimulate collagen production, improving the skin's texture and overall appearance. Multiple sessions are usually required for optimal results, and patients may need maintenance treatments to keep symptoms under control. IPL therapy is a non-invasive and relatively painless procedure that can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with rosacea by providing clearer, more even-toned skin.
​
At Papillon Bleu, we use the ND-YAG Laser, a specialized vascular laser, to target larger spider veins and vessels in rosacea. For more severe cases, we combine this treatment with IPL to deliver comprehensive care, effectively reducing redness and flare-ups. This dual approach ensures a safe and efficient treatment, helping keep your rosacea in remission.
