Could it be Rosacea?

Rosacea is not fun. It is a stubborn skin condition that is difficult to treat and affects a large number of Australians with fair skin. It sneaks up slowly: starting as a tendency to blush and progresses until eventually there is permanent dilation of blood vessels.

Rosacea Treatment With Intense Pulsed Light

Because the primary underlying cause of facial redness in rosacea is from surface capillaries, pulsed light treatments provide a very effective treatment to settle rosacea.

How do Intense pulsed light treatments get rid of Rosacea

The basis of pulsed light treatments is that it delivers a pulse of light that is attracted to chromophores (colour attracting elements) in the skin. The blood in dilated capillaries is a chromophore. When the light hits the chromophore it turn to heat and destroys the dilated surface vessels causing the redness.

Does Intense Pulsed light treatment work in everyone with Rosacea?

Pulsed light treatments are not effective in every one with rosacea but work in the vast majority. In one study on rosacea sufferers, 174 out of 188 patients achieved 75%- 100% clearances in 1 to 4 treatments. That is fairly good odds.
