Rosacea/Redness
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, pimples & pustules, and swelling on the face. Often referred to as “adult acne,” rosacea frequently begins as a tendency to flush or blush easily. It may progress to persistent redness in the center of the face that may gradually involve the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. With time, small blood vessels and tiny pimples begin to appear on and around the reddened area.

With time, small blood vessels and tiny pimples begin to appear on and around the reddened area.
When rosacea first develops, the redness may come and go. Small dilated vessels also may be present due to prolonged sun exposure. However, when the skin doesn’t return to its normal color, and when other symptoms such as pimples and enlarged blood vessels become visible, it’s best to seek advice. The condition may last for years, rarely reverse itself, and can become worse without treatment.
Here at New Light Laser and Aesthetics we offer treatment options to help you with this very common skin condition!
The Icon MaxG, a laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) vessel treatment gives you one convenient solution to treat them all quickly and with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Light-based rosacea treatment can reduce rosacea redness and “flushing” to reveal clearer, more natural-looking skin in just a few easy treatments, practically pain-free, providing a more permanent result than topical creams.
Light-based rosacea treatment can effectively reduce:
• Rash, redness, and flushing
• Acne-like papules, pustules, and patches
• Rosacea swelling, inflammation, and discomfort
Laser and IPL light therapies work by delivering pulses of light to destroy capillaries responsible for contributing to rosacea. During the month following treatment, the body continues to absorb blood vessels, causing facial redness to significantly diminish. IPL is the most effective solution for fading redness and rosacea. IPL treatment sessions are administered by our specially trained laser technicians here at New Light Laser and Aesthetics.
IPL rosacea treatments can improve redness, shrink pores and create a more even skin texture, offering remarkable results unachievable by oral medication or antibiotics. Light based treatments offer beautiful results within just 2 weeks, and minimal side effects. . Unlike oral medications and creams, the ICON MAXG™ IPL targets precise areas without causing damage to surrounding skin.
Many patients affected by broken capillaries, spotty pigmentation or brown spots tend to see results after just one IPL treatment session. However, individuals suffering from rosacea require a series of 30 minutes light based laser treatments for optimal results.
