Laser and light treatments for rosacea, broken capillaries, and visible vessels.
Laser and light treatments target rosacea, facial redness, broken capillaries, and visible vessels while helping improve overall skin clarity and tone. Your dermatologist selects the right device and settings based on the size and depth of the vessels for safe, precise correction.
Skin is cooled and an ultrasound gel is applied to protect the surface and improve light delivery.
Pulsed light energy targets oxyhemoglobin in red blood vessels and capillaries, causing the vessels to coagulate and be absorbed.
Damaged vessels fade over weeks as the body absorbs them. Most patients complete a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
Vascular and redness treatments use the same IPL/BBL platforms as our brown spot and photo-rejuvenation protocols. Pricing is per session, by area treated. Most patients see improvement after the first session, with a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for full results.
Many patients maintain their results with a maintenance treatment every 6 to 12 months. Rosacea sometimes requires more frequent maintenance depending on triggers and skin response.
The same IPL and BBL devices and pricing are used — this page focuses specifically on the redness, rosacea, and vascular indications. Brown spot removal and overall photo-rejuvenation are also covered on the IPL/BBL page.
Yes. IPL/BBL is one of the most effective in-office treatments for the redness and visible vessels associated with rosacea. Most patients see significant improvement after a series of 3 to 5 sessions, with annual maintenance.
IPL/BBL is generally best suited for Fitzpatrick I to IV skin types. For Fitzpatrick V and VI, your dermatologist may recommend Spectra or alternative approaches. We’ll confirm at consultation.
Most patients see substantial reduction. However, deeper vessels, persistent flushing related to rosacea triggers, and certain types of redness may benefit from combined treatments (such as topical or oral medication for rosacea).
Most concerns clear with a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance every 6 to 12 months preserves results. Rosacea sometimes requires more frequent maintenance based on triggers.
Almost none. Pink flush for 1 to 2 hours, with some vessels temporarily darkening before clearing. Most patients return to normal activities and apply makeup the same day.
After completing a series, treated vessels are permanently destroyed. New vessels can develop over time with sun exposure, rosacea flares, or genetic predisposition — which is why annual maintenance is recommended.
