Using Laser/Photoderm for Rosacea

Laser /PhotoDerm™ is technically safer than the vast majority of invasive skin procedures.
It does however have its risks and it can be worth thoroughly checking the credentials and "before/after" pictures of the specialist you visit.

Some people react to laser and find their rosacea is worse after treatment than before.

This is a problem, because the laser penetrates every skin layer, and thus can cause long-term damage.

Today, laser resurfacing units are widely available and can fall into hands which perhaps aren't as experienced as they might be.

As a general rule, don't have laser resurfacing performed by anyone who:
1) you don't feel comfortable with;
2) hasn't heard or answered all of your questions;
3) hasn't performed a large number of procedures;
Or:
4) before you are fully prepared for the commitment.
