Rosacea is a common skin disorder that affects millions of Americans every year. As an inflammatory condition that can cause facial skin to turn red, rosacea occurs when small blood vessels constantly flush beneath your skin. Although the cause of rosacea is not fully understood, this condition can be aggravated by a variety of factors, including:
- Stress
- Warm water
- Spicy foods
- Alcohol
If left untreated, this condition can not only lead to permanent redness, but can also blemish the texture of the skin. Fortunately, Dr. Wise offers a wide-range of laser and skincare treatments that can effectively reduce the signs of rosacea and restore a vibrant, attractive complexion to your face.
Laser Treatment
Using a fractionated CO₂ laser, a powerful beam of light is applied directly to the skin to stimulate the growth of healthier, more beautiful skin. The energy from the laser destroys harmful damaged skin cells and blood vessels that are causing redness and irregular texture. The result is a smoother facial appearance that is free of redness and discoloration.
