Pulsed dye laser (PDL) rosacea therapy in particular was found to be a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of rosacea and resulted in a significant improvement in rosacea and facial redness.

Vascular lasers, including PDL, emit specific wavelengths of light that target the tiny visible blood vessels just under the skin. Heat from the laser’s energy builds in the vessels, causing them to collapse. The redness, main symptom of rosacea, is gone.

Intense-pulsed light therapy uses multiple wavelengths of light to treat dilated blood vessels in the face.

Both vascular laser treatment and intense-pulsed light therapy take approximately 15 to 30 minutes and are performed at six- to 12-week intervals. Patients may require several initial treatments and then return annually for treatment of new blood vessels.

“While newer rosacea treatments are longer-lasting, it is important to remember there is no cure for this condition,” cautioned Dr. Pelle.

You can reduce the incidence of rosacea flare-ups by avoiding your personal rosacea trigger factors and following through on a dermatologist-supervised rosacea treatment regimen.
