Rosacea Treatment
Rosacea can cause persistent red, bumpy, and sensitive facial skin that can be painful and can significantly impact your self-confidence. There is no cure for rosacea, and many patients feel hopeless when it comes to restoring and maintaining a smooth, even complexion.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sagar Gujjar has made it his mission to find treatment solutions for skin conditions like rosacea that disrupt his patients’ appearance and quality of life. He provides customized rosacea treatments at his Skinwood medical practice to ease discomfort, manage symptoms, and rejuvenate the skin.
WHAT IS ROSACEA?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin ailment that affects the facial skin. At first, it may look like a sunburn or blushing that doesn’t go away. If it isn’t treated, it can gradually worsen and cause additional symptoms and increasing discomfort.
There is no consensus on the cause of rosacea. Genetics, an overactive immune system, and environmental factors may play a role. Flare-ups of rosacea symptoms are often linked to exposure to sun and wind, consuming alcoholic beverages, eating spicy foods, exercise, stress, and certain medications.
People who suffer from rosacea may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Redness in the midface
- Skin that flushes easily
- Visible tiny blood vessels just beneath the surface of the skin
- Sensitive skin
- A hot or burning sensation in the affected skin
- Tiny red bumps and/or pus-filled papules that resemble acne

ROSACEA TREATMENT OPTIONS
Regular sessions with laser therapy have been shown to be an effective treatment to keep the symptoms of rosacea away. There are several types of laser systems that may be used to address rosacea, and multiple types of rosacea can be treated with laser therapy.
Prescription medications, such as antibiotics and topical medications are another treatment option. For most patients, laser therapy can provide more desirable results with less risk. Topical medications and antibiotics may reduce inflammation for a short time. However, it is not recommended to use antibiotics as a long-term solution, and laser therapy provides longer-lasting improvements than topical medications.

Vascular lasers, Such as the Fotona Starwalker MAQX Laser, are specifically designed to target blood vessels. The laser energy heats up the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be absorbed by the body.WHAT TO EXPECT DURING LASER THERAPY FOR ROSACEA
Dr. Gujjar performs laser treatments at his Skinwood medical practice. At the start of your procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to the face. It takes about 45 minutes for the cream to take effect. The numbing agent will then be removed from the face, and metal shields will be placed over your eyes to protect them from the laser beam.Dr. Gujjar can then begin the laser treatment. After calibrating the laser device to safely and effectively treat your unique skin, he moves the handheld laser device across the treatment area as needed to improve the appearance of broken veins and reduce inflammation.
A cooling mask will be applied after the laser treatment, which can leave the skin feeling hot. The mask is followed by LED light therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing. SCHEDULE CONSULTATION
