Rosacea Laser Treatment (Vbeam Perfecta + Long-Pulse YAG) in Venice, FL
What is Rosacea Laser Treatment?
Rosacea laser treatment helps calm and clear skin that shows signs of redness, flushing, and visible facial veins. This treatment uses two advanced laser systems, the Vbeam® Perfecta pulsed-dye laser (595 nm) and the long-pulse Nd: YAG laser (1064 nm), to target the small and large vessels that cause redness and irritation.
The Vbeam® Perfecta addresses surface vessels and blotchiness, while the long-pulse YAG focuses on deeper, more noticeable veins. Together, they create smoother, clearer, and more even-toned skin without harming nearby tissue.
Each treatment involves gentle bursts of light energy that warm and close unwanted blood vessels beneath the skin. Over time, these vessels are naturally absorbed by the body, helping your complexion look calmer and more balanced. Many patients also notice that their skin feels softer and less reactive after finishing their treatment plan.
Who is the Best Candidate for This Treatment?
This treatment is a great choice for anyone who experiences persistent redness, visible capillaries, or frequent flushing. It’s especially helpful for those who want clearer skin without relying on heavy makeup to cover redness. People with rosacea often have skin that reacts easily to temperature changes, stress, or skincare products.
The treatment can be customized for different skin tones and sensitivities. If you have fine red or purple veins on your cheeks, nose, or chin, or if your face often looks flushed even when you’re relaxed, this laser treatment can help restore a more even complexion.
What is the Downtime?
One of the biggest advantages of the treatment is that the recovery time is short. After your session, you may have slight redness or swelling that fades within a few days. Some patients may notice light bruising (called purpura), which usually clears within a week. Your skin might look a bit pink or warm right after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results can last for several months or even years, depending on your skin type and aftercare routine. Many patients see long-term improvement after completing a full series of sessions. To keep your skin looking calm and even, follow-up sessions every 6 to 12 months are often recommended. Consistent sunscreen use and mild skincare products can help protect your results and prevent new redness from developing.
Side Effects
Side effects are mild and temporary for most people. You might notice slight warmth, redness, or swelling right after treatment, which usually fades within a couple of days. In rare cases, small pigment changes can appear, especially in people with darker skin tones or those who have had recent sun exposure. Your provider will assess your skin before treatment and adjust the laser settings to keep your experience safe and comfortable.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
Most patients return to their usual routine right away. You can go back to work or social activities within a day or two. It’s best to avoid hot showers, saunas, strenuous workouts, or direct sunlight for the first 24 hours after treatment. These can warm the skin and cause temporary redness. Makeup can usually be applied after one day, once the skin has settled.
Boosters
After your laser treatment, you can choose booster options like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRFM, or stem-cell exosome serums to enhance healing and improve your glow. These boosters support skin recovery, help reduce redness faster, and promote a smoother look. While not medically required, they can enhance your final results and give your skin an extra boost of vitality.
