Treatment for Rosacea and Thread Veins

Anyone who has rosacea knows it’s hard to get rid of the red — topical therapies are only effective to a point. However, there is an option to erase the damage done and give you an even complexion: laser treatment for rosacea. Rosacea laser treatment uses heat from wavelengths of light to disintegrate the visible, tiny red blood vessels just underneath the skin.

There are a few types of laser treatments or light therapies which are sometimes lumped in with laser treatments, but are technically non-laser therapies your dermatologist may use to clear up your rosacea.

There are good reasons to choose a laser treatment for rosacea. The results are long-lasting. You’ll get a better outcome when you get laser or light treatment compared to using a topical medicated cream alone. You can also help to maintain your clear skin after the treatment with topical therapies.

If you have tried to prevent thread veins but they are still appearing, there are some techniques to treat them. The two methods of surgery most commonly used for thread veins treatments use lasers or a treatment called sclerotherapy. Lasers are normally used to treat thread veins on the face as they are smaller than those in the legs. There are a variety of different lasers - pulsed dye laser, YAG laser, diode laser, alexandrite laser - but they all work on the veins in a similar way. To have the veins treated privately, make sure the person treating you is a medically qualified doctor, plastic surgeon or dermatologist as anyone who passes a local authority hygiene inspection can operate a laser.
