What is rosacea treatment?
Rosacea affects around one in 10 people to some extent, and mostly people with fair skin.
Rosacea and facial flushing are common and long-term skin conditions that mainly affects a person’s face’s. When rosacea first appears, the face appear flushed. Later symptoms include permanent redness, spots, visible blood vessels and a sensation of burning or tingling.

— Questions
Rosacea treatment FAQ
The questions we are asked most often about the treatment, the course and what recovery actually looks like.
What is involved in the treatment?
During the skin consultation, one of highly-skilled Aesthetic Practitioners will examine your skin. They will be able to determine if you are suitable for this procedure. If so, photos will be taken prior to the procedure.
During treatment, the skin will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution and a cool gel will be applied onto the skin. The practitioner will then commence with the treatment. Patients have reported a warm sharp sensation to the skin but that it is generally painless.
Photos will be taken after the procedure too so as to allow the practitioner to compare the results and monitor your progress.
3-6 treatments are required every 2-3 weeks.
What aftercare is required?
The following aftercare is recommended to improve the treatment results and to minimise side-effects from the treatment:
- The application of a cool pack during the first few hours after treatment will reduce any discomfort.
- Apply only Biafine or aloe vera gel (without alcohol) to the treated area.
- Makeup may be used immediately after the treatment unless there is epidermal blistering. (Preferably mineral make up).
- Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. Use sunscreen SPF50+ or greater at all times throughout the course of treatment.
- Avoid swimming until the treated area is fully healed.
- Avoid hot baths, heat treatments and exercise for the first 48 hours.
- Avoid picking scabs.
- Avoid using retinoids for 2 days before treatment and 7 days post treatment.
Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the treatment area, this may feel like mild sunburn. If pigment is present, it will become darker and form a scab that will eventually shed away. This is a normal effect of treatment. Swelling may also occur, especially on the cheek area, but will reduce over the course of a few days.
We recommend sleeping with an extra pillow to decrease swelling.
Who is laser treatment for facial redness is not suitable for?
- Pregnant or breast-feeding.
- Patients with sunburn.
- Patients suffering from melasma, seizure disorders, herpes simplex virus, hyperpigmentation, history of photosensitivity to light.
- Patients on topical or oral steroids, medications that cause photosensitivity.
