Burke Rosacea Treatment

Learn How Laser Therapy Can Help

Does your face blush or flush easily? Have you noticed the red color spreading or lasting longer than usual? If so, you may have a skin condition known as rosacea. This is a common condition and an ultimately harmless one, but it can be irritating nonetheless.

Rosacea can be itchy, hot to the touch, and cause unsightly bumps on the face. It has a similar appearance to acne, but it is important to distinguish the two from each other so that you can perform the appropriate treatment. Laser treatments at Skin Deep Laser Services in Burke can help you clear up bouts of rosacea faster than usual.

Without treatment, rosacea can last for as long as a month. Find out what you can do to get rid of it sooner by calling (703) 639-4446.

Diagnosing Rosacea

Wondering if the red patches on your skin are acne or rosacea? There are some distinguishing factors that can help you figure out what you are dealing with.

Rosacea most commonly affected fair-skinned, middle-aged women, but it can occur in anyone. It is also known to develop more frequently in people who blush or flush easily.

Symptoms of rosacea include:

  • Red patches on the skin
  • Small red bumps that are different than acne
  • Bumps that are hot to the touch and tender
  • Eye irritation accompanying the red skin patches
  • Thickened skin on the nose

If you have a combination of these symptoms, then it is likely you are dealing with rosacea and not typical acne.

Benefits of Laser Treatments

Rosacea can cause blood vessels to swell and skin to thicken. With laser therapy, we can remove these blood vessels and excess skin with skin resurfacing treatments. Lasers can also be used to reduce redness by stimulating collagen production. Most clients see anywhere between 50 to 75 percent redness reduction after just 3 treatments. The efficacy of the treatment depends on each client's unique skin condition and sensitivity.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the common symptoms of rosacea?

Common symptoms of rosacea include persistent red patches on the skin, small red bumps that differ from acne, bumps that feel hot and tender to the touch, eye irritation that occurs alongside the red skin patches, and in some cases, thickened skin on the nose. If you're experiencing a combination of these symptoms, it's likely you're dealing with rosacea. At Skin Deep Laser Services in Burke, we offer treatments that can help manage these symptoms effectively.

How does laser therapy work to reduce rosacea symptoms?

Laser therapy works by targeting and removing swollen blood vessels that contribute to the appearance of rosacea. Additionally, it can help reduce skin thickening through skin resurfacing treatments. The laser also stimulates collagen production, which can lead to a reduction in redness. Many clients experience a significant reduction in redness, often between 50 to 75 percent after just three treatments, although individual results can vary based on skin condition and sensitivity.
