Treatment varies for each rosacea type. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and / or laser treatments have been clinically proven to successfully reduce facial redness, flushing and broken veins.
It works by using light energy to target the problem capillaries in your skin. The heat generated destroys your problem blood vessels, which your body then reabsorbs. The majority of patients can be successfully treated and also find that the treatment contributes to an improved skin appearance.
People with Papulo Pustula Rosacea (PPR) respond better to a combination of IPL / Laser and oral or topical antibiotics. Ocular types need the expertise of an Ophthalmologist and Rhinophyma types needs the expertise of a plastic surgeon.
