Rosacea is a common skin disorder that causes redness and swelling on the face. Often referred to as "adult acne," rosacea may begin with a tendency to flush or blush easily, and progress to persistent redness in the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose, sometimes spreading to ears, chest, and back. As the disorder progresses, small blood vessels and tiny pimples appear on and around the reddened area.

Lantry Laser & Skin Care Center has a variety of techniques and lasers that treat rosacea. The treatment delivers pulses of light to the dermis, which stimulates the collagen. Not only does this treatment target the dilated capillaries commonly associated with rosacea, but it can also reduce signs of aging, fine lines, freckles and irregular pigmentation. The laser's intense pulsed light diminishes flushing or redness of the face, successfully treating dilated blood vessels and redness without injuring the surrounding healthy skin. 

Four to six treatments will improve redness and individual blood vessels.
