Rosacea
Rosacea is a common, chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes blood vessels in your face to become visible, making you appear red or flushed. Rosacea may not be a serious medical skin condition at the onset, but it can make you feel self-conscious whenever your skin flares up and can worsen and lead to other severe problems if left untreated. Rosacea can be safely and effectively treated with medical grade lasers.
Laser
Preston Dermatology’s medical grade laser offers different treatment settings that we customize according to your skin tone or depth of target area to ensure an optimal outcome. When treating vascular concerns, the laser targets the blood to coagulate the vessel so it collapses. The body then reabsorbs the treated vessels over time, reducing facial redness. The system incorporates the latest innovations in cooling technologies, ensuring patient comfort and eliminating long-term side effects and downtime. This device is a good option for men and women who have vascular lesions or visible blood vessels they would like to eliminate.
