The earlier blush and/or blood vessels of Rosacea are best treated by PhotoDerm pulsed light. Since December of 1995, I have successfully treated hundreds of patients with distinct blood vessels or smaller "blush" blood vessels with PhotoDerm. Although some lasers can also treat these problems, my patients report that lasers are usually more painful and frequently, if not almost always, produce side effects such as a purple bruise that lasts for approximately 2 weeks. Using completely different settings to treat smaller or larger vessels, PhotoDerm in my own hands can routinely treat and improve the blush or blood vessels of Rosacea with the patient comfortable with the virtually painless treatment, and usually able to return to their normal activities within minutes after treatment. Treatment usually produces an immediate improvement which frequently continues to improve for an additional 1 to 2 weeks after each treatment. Bruising is very rare and occurs in less than 1% of treatments. Patients who have previously been treated with lasers, electric needles, sclerotherapy injections, or even by PhotoDerm administered by non-expert M.D.’s are amazed at their results after my Photoderm pulsed light treatment of new blood vessels and/ or blush. No other method is available to treat this problem as safely, quickly, and comfortably! Be certain that your treating Dermatologist has much successful experience in treating conditions such as yours!
