What It Treats
Rosacea is a long-term condition, not a one-time problem to fix, so treatment is about control rather than cure. Dr. Anna builds a plan around your specific subtype and triggers, combining in-clinic procedures with skincare and, where appropriate, prescription therapy.
Before Your Treatment
Rosacea-prone skin is reactive, so preparation focuses on calming the skin and avoiding anything that could provoke a flare before your session. Dr. Anna will review your trigger history and current skincare at consultation.
After Your Treatment
Downtime after vascular and light-based rosacea treatments is generally light. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with redness settling gradually over the following week.
Skin may look temporarily flushed or feel warm, similar to a natural blush. Cool compresses can help settle this.
Some treated vessels may appear slightly darker before fading. Mild swelling can occur but resolves quickly.
Treated vessels begin to fade and overall redness starts to reduce as the skin continues to respond.
Final results of the session become visible. Further sessions, if planned, are typically spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Aftercare
Because rosacea is a chronic condition, ongoing trigger management and daily skincare matter just as much as the in-clinic treatment itself. Dr. Anna provides a tailored maintenance plan after every visit.
Good to Know
Rosacea is a chronic condition that currently has no permanent cure, but it can be very effectively managed. With the right combination of treatment and trigger control, most patients see a significant and lasting reduction in redness and flare-ups.
Dr. Anna typically combines vascular laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) to target visible vessels and redness with topical or oral medication to control inflammation, depending on your specific subtype and severity.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warming feeling. Cooling is used throughout the session to keep you comfortable, and numbing cream can be applied if needed.
Most patients need a course of 3–5 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for visible, lasting improvement, followed by occasional maintenance treatments as new vessels or redness develop over time.
Common triggers include sun exposure, heat, spicy food, alcohol, stress, and certain skincare ingredients. Dr. Anna will help you identify your personal triggers as part of your management plan.
