Yes. Laser is non-invasive and non-ionising so therefore cannot cause malignant changes to the skin. Your safety is our number one priority.
It is important that you do not have a sun tan whilst attending for treatment – sun exposure is the single biggest limiting factor for treatment. For more information regarding this please contact us.
The simple answer is no, laser rosacea treatment shouldn’t hurt. The main sensation is of a warming of the skin, immediately followed by a slight tightness. The vast majority of our clients do not experience pain during treatment.
The laser is passed over the skin approximately 1cm from the surface, gently warming it, until it reaches 41-42C. The heat from the laser shrinks the blood vessels causing the rosacea until they fade.
We generally book out half an hour – the treatment itself generally takes 15-20 minutes, and the additional time allows us to discuss progress and ensure your comfort. If necessary, we will allocate more time for your treatments; Alexandra will discuss timings with you during your consultation.
Yes! Our consultations are free of charge and no obligation, and last approximately 15 minutes. Consultation appointments are usually immediately followed by the first treatment should our clients wish.
Treatment information
Rosacea is a long-term condition that can cause facial flushing, persistent redness and visible vessels. Cosmetic laser treatment may help reduce suitable visible vascular features, but it does not cure rosacea or address every symptom.
A personalised course may be advised depending on the pattern of redness, skin sensitivity and response to treatment. Temporary warmth, redness or swelling can occur. Results vary, and ongoing trigger management or medical treatment may still be needed.
A GP or dermatologist can advise on diagnosis and prescription treatment. Daily SPF 30 or higher, gentle skincare and avoiding known triggers may help control symptoms.
Clinical suitability, likely benefits, limitations and alternatives are discussed before you decide whether to proceed.
