Rosacea is a chronic skin condition with no known cause or cure. Most of our patients are over the age of 30 and experience flare-ups due to triggers like weather, food, and stress.
Most people notice the following symptoms from rosacea:
While the Excel V is an excellent and effective rosacea laser in Flower Mound, it’s not a cure. This device helps manage symptoms, but it won’t permanently reduce redness. We recommend at least 3 sessions for optimal results. Everyone’s treatment plan looks different, meaning some patients may require additional appointments. Depending on the severity of your rosacea, we can discuss the frequency of maintenance sessions.
Before your treatment, please refrain from direct and extended sun exposure for at least 1 week. Avoid using topical prescriptions for rosacea for at least 3 days.
After your treatment, avoid direct and extended sun exposure for 1 more week. We also recommend for post-care: no hot tubs, saunas, spicy foods, or alcohol for at least 72 hours.
The Excel V device uses both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths of green light to target abnormal veins that appear during rosacea flare-ups. When the blood vessels absorb the light, it converts to heat and destroys the vessels, resulting in healthier skin and minimized discoloration.
This light also boosts collagen production, supporting your skin’s cellular turnover, providing you with a clearer complexion.
We also use the BBL Photofacial, a broadband light device that harnesses the power of light to target, tighten, and contract visible blood vessels.
To enhance and support the results from your rosacea laser treatment in Flower Mound, we recommend wearing mineral-based sunscreen and using soothing products to support a healthy skin barrier. At our office, we sell products that are approved by the National Rosacea Society. These include:
