About the procedure
Persistent redness and visible vessels can occur in different conditions, including rosacea. A clear diagnosis helps distinguish vascular changes from inflammation and other causes needing a different approach.
Your consultation
Assessment considers the distribution of redness, symptoms, changes over time and previous treatments. A vascular laser may form part of a plan for selected vessels, but does not automatically replace dermatological care.
What to expect
- Examine the skin and clarify the likely cause.
- Choose a plan for vessels, inflammation or both.
- Review the response and adjust the next steps.
Recovery and follow-up
If laser treatment is used, temporary redness, swelling and tenderness may occur. Recovery and potential reactions are explained for the selected device and area.
What to consider
Vessels may recur, and rosacea can require ongoing management. Laser treatment carries risks including burns and pigment changes; not all redness is treated in the same way.
Common questions
Does laser permanently cure rosacea?
Rosacea may require ongoing management. Laser can improve selected vascular signs, while other features need different medical measures.
Can treatment be decided from a photograph?
A photograph can help initially, but does not replace the history and examination needed to choose a plan.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
