About Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the central face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps. At Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics, Dr. Katayoun Motlagh and her team offer xeo® by Cutera laser treatment to reduce the signs of rosacea with personalized treatment plans.

Treatment Snapshot

Visit type: Rosacea Treatment: laser consultation with skin type, history, and treatment area review
Sessions: Usually series-based; number varies by concern and response
Common planning topics: Sun exposure, skin tone, downtime, maintenance, and aftercare

Causes

Genetic Predisposition: Individuals with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop the condition
Microbial Factors: Overgrowth of certain skin mites (Demodex folliculorum) and bacteria can contribute to inflammation
Immune System: Dysregulation of the immune system leads to excessive inflammation
Environmental Triggers: Sun exposure, temperature extremes, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and certain skincare products can trigger or worsen symptoms

Signs & Symptoms

Persistent Redness: Often resembles a blush or sunburn that doesn't go away
Flushing: Episodes of sudden and intense facial redness
Papules and Pustules: Small, red bumps and pus-filled bumps that may be mistaken for acne
Visible Blood Vessels: Enlarged blood vessels (telangiectasia) visible on the skin
Thickened Skin: In advanced cases, especially on the nose (rhinophyma)
Ocular Symptoms: Irritation, redness, dryness, and swollen eyelids (ocular rosacea)

Candidacy and Safety Review

A consultation reviews medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior procedures, skin type, healing history, and the timing of events or travel before a treatment plan is recommended.

Laser Pre-Care and Post-Care

Avoid tanning and tell the clinic about recent sun exposure before laser sessions.
Use daily SPF and follow product restrictions while treated skin is healing.
Do not wax, pluck, or thread before hair-removal sessions because the follicle needs to remain available for targeting.
Report a history of pigment changes, keloids, cold sores, photosensitizing medications, or recent isotretinoin use.

Frequently Asked Questions

A non-invasive procedure using light energy to reduce rosacea symptoms by targeting enlarged blood vessels, causing them to shrink and reducing redness, flushing, and pimples.

Who is a good candidate?

People with mild to moderate rosacea, or those who have tried other treatments like topical creams and antibiotics without success.

How does the treatment work?

The laser is applied to the affected area for about 30 minutes. Light energy is absorbed by enlarged blood vessels, causing them to shrink and symptoms to improve.

What are the benefits?

It is non-invasive and may reduce visible redness or flushing for selected patients, with recovery time varying by treatment intensity.

What are the risks?

Some people may experience temporary redness, swelling, crusting, irritation, or pigmentation changes. Risk and downtime vary by skin response and treatment intensity.
