People who suffer from rosacea are well aware of the constant difficulties that arise with managing the chronic symptoms. This condition can be a frustrating barrier to maintaining consistent and clear skin tone on the face. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center performs advanced cosmetic laser treatments to help patients with rosacea feel confident in their complexion.

What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Although specific symptoms vary from person to person, there are common issues that arise in people who have rosacea. Since there are numerous types of rosacea, “flare ups” occur in different types and severities. Common symptoms include facial redness, visible blood vessels, acne-like breakouts, irritation, swelling, and flushing. Flare ups can last for weeks to months before they temporarily fade. Many people have a more difficult time managing symptoms with age.

How Laser Lights can help you improve your complexion after rosacea flare ups

Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for rosacea. The symptoms tend to be chronic and last throughout a person’s life. However, there are effective cosmetic treatments that can dramatically improve a complexion to help patients feel confident. Laser Lights uses advanced cosmetic laser treatment to target the relevant blood vessels beneath the skin that are causing the inconsistent redness and flushing. The lasers that are used for rosacea treatment make the blood vessels close off, so they can be safely absorbed through the skin and naturally eliminated by the body. Many rosacea patients have used the cosmetic laser services at Laser Lights to manage their symptoms and maintain a consistent complexion.

To provide customized results for each case of rosacea, our team at Laser Lights performs complimentary consultations to determine the best plan of action. We tailor our approach to the unique needs of each patient, so our treatment is as successful as possible for each person.

Additional tips for managing rosacea symptoms

In between your rosacea treatment sessions at Laser Lights, it’s important to avoid “triggers” that exacerbate symptoms. Skin products, sun exposure, stress, alcohol, cold weather are just some of the factors that can worsen rosacea. Finding out which triggers affect your complexion is one of the first steps in creating a long-term approach to managing rosacea symptoms.

Laser Lights Winter Beauty Tips

Uncategorized dry skin during winter, nonsurgical fat reduction, procedure for wrinkles, rosacea treatment, skin care

Unfortunately, the winter months can take a toll on your beauty. After a holiday season filled with precious time spent with family and friends, it’s time to focus on yourself. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers solutions for common aesthetic concerns that will bring out your best look for the new year. Between our wide-variety of cosmetic options, our experienced providers can offer something for everyone.

Winter Skincare

The winter season is difficult for proper skin health. One of the biggest reasons for this is because of skin dryness. When humidity is low, your skin retains less moisture and dries. Common physical effects are skin tightness, itching, roughness, flaking, redness and an ashy complexion.

Laser Lights wants to help you take charge of your skin health. We believe that each patient deserves to be confident in their own skin at any time of the year. Whether you have oily, dry, acne-prone or wrinkled skin, we can pair you with the most effective skincare treatment to generate the best positive results possible.

Rosacea and Facial Redness

As many people who experience rosacea and facial redness already know, the cold can make symptoms much more exaggerated. We understand that facial flushing can be an embarrassing and frustrating condition that is difficult to suppress. For Laser Lights patients, these issues can be safely solved. At our facility, we offer red spot removal on the face or body as well as specialized care for rosacea. Skincare products that aren’t gentle on sensitive skin should especially be avoided this season.

Wrinkle Treatment

Wrinkles are one of the most common cosmetic concerns that we receive from our patients. For the majority of cases, our providers recommend Fractionated CO2 Laser treatment. This procedure is highly effective at precisely fading fine lines and wrinkles in addition to improving an overall complexion. After a session, the treated skin is softer, smoother and more youthful. One of the biggest perks is how quickly a patient can have areas restored and rejuvenated without the need for a lot of downtime.

Nonsurgical Fat Reduction by SculpSure^®

Between of all the events that promote food indulgence around the holiday season, it’s easy to put on extra, unwanted weight. For fat that is seemingly resistant to diet and exercise, the nonsurgical fat reduction by SculpSure^® is an excellent solution. This procedure causes the elimination of fat cells to produce a slimmer and more contoured area of the body. Because it’s nonsurgical, SculpSure^® is an ideal procedure for people who have a busy schedule and can’t allot extensive time for recovery.

Don’t let this winter season prevent you from looking your best. For more information about our cosmetic procedures or to schedule your complementary consultation, give us a call at 770-495-9322.

Rosacea can often be both embarrassing and uncomfortable because it can frequently appear on the face. As the winter months approach, rosacea flare-ups become more common. The licensed providers of Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center want every patient to look and feel their best. Through laser treatments, patients can find relief from this chronic skin condition.

Rosacea is a skin condition in which blood vessels located near the skin’s surface become dilated. Although rosacea is typically harmless, it does display noticeable symptoms including visible blood vessels similar to spider veins and acne-like breakouts. Other symptoms include persistent redness and flushing.

At Laser Lights, our experienced professionals precisely target enlarged capillaries under the skin with our pulsed dye laser. The body naturally absorbs and eliminates these damaged blood vessels eliminating the embarrassing symptoms of rosacea. Most patients require one to three laser treatments to achieve optimal results.

Patients enjoy the benefits of this quick and relatively painless laser treatment for rosacea compared to more invasive treatments available. As with any skin condition, during a skin analysis consultation our cosmetic laser technicians will discuss with you how effective the treatment will be for your particular situation.

Rosacea can be a difficult skin condition to live with. Individualized to each person, rosacea can appear in different ways, and flare ups are caused by different triggers for each individual. Most common in fair-skinned individuals ages 30-50, rosacea appears most often in women (though is usually more severe when it does appear in men).

Winter months can be especially trying on those with rosacea. Individuals with trigger factors related to weather or temperature changes can experience flare-ups during the cooler times. Many people (even those who don’t suffer from rosacea) forget to wear a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen during the winter months. Because the lower temperatures aren’t making us sweat, we often forget how long we’ve been outdoors or think we don’t need sunscreen. This is especially important for individuals with rosacea because sun exposure can be a trigger.

Along the same lines, extreme weather conditions can also cause discomfort in rosacea sufferers. Harsh winds and extreme cold can cause flare-ups. Surprisingly, though, so can being indoors for relief from the cold. While sitting by a roaring fire or soaking in a hot bath may sound comforting, exceedingly warm environments can also increase blood flow to the face causing flushing and other uncomfortable symptoms.

While there is no cure for rosacea, there are treatment options to help reduce the symptoms associated with rosacea including visible veins in the face, acne-like breakouts, persistent redness, and inflammation. Laser treatments at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center include treatments for facial redness and rosacea. Using pulsed dye lasers to target enlarged blood vessels, laser treatment destroys the capillaries allowing the body to absorb them naturally. Laser treatment can resolve issues like the embarrassing flushing and redness associated with rosacea.

Laser Treatment for Rosacea: Answers to Your Skin Condition Questions

Rosacea is a common summer skin complaint because flare-ups are often associated with variable weather conditions and heat. The reddening of the skin caused by rosacea can be embarrassing and hard to hide with cosmetics. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers laser rosacea treatment to diminish the appearance of redness on the face and body. Below are answers to some of your frequently asked questions about rosacea to help you get started.

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is often confused with acne; however, they are two distinct skin conditions. Rosacea is redness in the cheeks, forehead, chin, or nose caused by enlarged blood vessels. There are four distinct types of rosacea. The first is characterized by redness on the cheeks, chin, and forehead. Suffers of type two rosacea experience persistent redness as well as bumps and/or pimple-like pustules. Diagnosis of type three rosacea is based solely on the enlargement of the flesh on the nose, while type four rosacea is characterized by eye irritation.

What causes rosacea?

The exact root cause of rosacea is unknown though there are many theories surrounding its source. The redness associated with rosacea is produced by over-dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Various triggers can cause the skin to flush but are dependent on each patient’s individual case.

What triggers rosacea flare-ups?

As stated before, rosacea flare-ups are different for each person. Some of the most common triggers include both lifestyle factors like emotional stress or environmental factors such as sun exposure, hot or cold weather, strong wind, certain skin care products, spicy food, alcoholic beverages, heavy exercise, hot beverages, hot baths or anything that causes heavy sweating. What may cause a flare-up in one person with rosacea may have no effect on another, which is why it’s important to know your triggers and avoid them if possible.

How long does rosacea last?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition as opposed to a short-term condition, and is characterized by flare-ups and remissions. Patients who receive medical or laser therapy can diminish the recurrence of symptoms.

Can rosacea be cured?

Because there is no known cause of rosacea, there is no cure available. However, certain laser treatments can reduce the appearance of redness associated with rosacea by targeting the blood vessels that dilate to cause a flushed appearance. Heat from the laser causes the blood vessels to disintegrate and be eliminated by the immune system.
