The treatment of rosacea lasts on average twenty to thirty minutes. The treatment often requires several sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. You may need to do a maintenance session from time to time.
The wearing of protective glasses for both the patient and the doctor is mandatory for the duration of the treatment.
The doctor meticulously sweeps the area affected by rosacea with a pen-type laser handpiece.
A healing cream is applied to the skin at the end of the session.
There is always an erythema and a feeling of warmth. A slight oedema, as well as a temporary bleaching are visible around the treated area. The appearance of small crust from the second day is frequent. These small crusts result from the coagulation of the epidermal proteins and disappear within a few days without leaving a scar.
