What are the Symptoms of Rosacea?
Rosacea is a condition that causes redness on the face, specifically the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It may occur intermittently with varying severity. The redness may worsen with exposure to certain triggers. Other symptoms of rosacea include:
- Small visible blood vessels (Telangiectasias)
- Thickening of the skin on the nose, checks and/or forehead
- Burning, stinging, itching, or tightness of the skin
- Redness, swelling, watering or itchy eyes
- Rhinophyma (bumps on the nose that may develop if rosacea is left untreated)
What are the Triggers of Rosacea?
Sources that trigger rosacea flares may include sun exposure, hot or cold weather, heat, consumption of alcohol, caffeine, anxiety, stress, and spicy foods.

FAQ
What is the main cause of rosacea?
The exact cause of rosacea is not yet well known, but it is thought to involve the immune system and genetics may play a role as rosacea tends to run in families.
What happens if rosacea goes untreated?
If left untreated, rosacea can worsen, eventually leading to significant damage to both the skin, and in some cases, the eyes.
Are the laser procedures painful?
Typically, most patients feel minor discomfort during the procedure. Our lasers have patented cooling devices which cools the skin, increasing comfort and minimizing side effects such as redness. In some cases, we use a topical cream anesthesia to minimize any discomfort.
How many Treatments are Required?
Some red spots disappear very quickly and require only one or two treatment sessions. Other patients require multiple treatments to obtain the maximum benefit and sustained results.
What are the risks of rosacea treatment?
Rosacea treatment typically does not require any downtime. While you may continue with your day as usual after your treatment, it is normal to experience slight redness and discomfort for a couple of hours. It is possible to have redness and swelling for up to 3-days after treatment depending on your specific treatment. In some cases, you may have a laser bruise called purpura that usually dissipates on its own within 3 to 5 days.
Are these Procedures Covered by Insurance?
Laser treatment is oftentimes not considered medically necessary and consequently is not covered by insurance.
