Persistent redness, visible vessels, and skin sensitivity can make rosacea more than just a cosmetic concern. At the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, our dermatology physician assistants understand how frustrating flare-ups can be. That’s why we offer medical and aesthetic solutions that help calm inflammation, minimize redness, and restore your skin’s natural balance.
Understanding Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes visible redness, flushing, and sometimes small bumps or visible veins on the face. While the exact cause of rosacea isn’t fully understood, it often involves a combination of genetics, vascular changes, and environmental triggers. Without treatment, rosacea can worsen over time, but with the right care, it can be effectively managed.
Rosacea Treatment with IPL Photofacial Laser
At Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, our skincare specialists use FDA-cleared laser technology, including IPL Photofacial treatments, to deliver precise results while minimizing discomfort. Most patients describe a warm, light, snapping sensation during treatment that is easy to tolerate.
How IPL Photofacial laser treatment works:
- Targets visible blood vessels: Gentle pulses of light energy reach beneath the skin’s surface to address redness and visible veins.
- Reduces inflammation: The light helps the body naturally absorb these tiny vessels, calming irritation and improving overall skin tone.
- Evens complexion: As redness fades, skin appears clearer, smoother, and more balanced.
- Minimal downtime: Treatments are quick and comfortable, allowing most patients to return to daily activities right away.
The result is a healthier-looking complexion that feels more comfortable and confident.
What to Expect During Rosacea Treatment with Laser Therapy
A typical laser session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. There is minimal downtime, and many patients return to normal activities right after their appointment.
While results vary, patients often see a noticeable reduction in redness after a few treatments as their skin tone becomes clearer and more balanced.
Laser Treatment Benefits Beyond Redness
Laser treatment not only reduces visible redness but can also improve skin texture and tone. Patients often experience a more radiant complexion and smoother skin surface. With consistent care and a personalized plan, laser therapy can help you feel more confident in your skin.
