Soothing Relief and Even Skin Tone
At CGO Med Aesthetics, we offer Aerolase laser treatment for rosacea, a non-invasive and highly effective way to calm redness, reduce flare-ups, and restore a more even skin tone. Using advanced 650-microsecond laser technology, Aerolase targets the underlying contributors to rosacea, including dilated blood vessels and inflammation, giving patients in San Diego, CA a gentle alternative to harsh medications.
Understanding Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes persistent redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Flare-ups are often triggered by sun exposure, heat, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and certain skincare products. San Diego’s year-round sunshine can make rosacea especially frustrating to manage without professional treatment.
How Aerolase Helps Rosacea
The Aerolase Era Elite and Neo Elite lasers deliver energy in an ultra-short pulse that is absorbed by the enlarged vessels responsible for redness while calming inflammation in the surrounding tissue. Treatment is comfortable, requires no numbing, and is safe for all skin types.
Conditions Treated
Aerolase rosacea treatment can help with:
- Redness and Flushing: Reduces persistent redness and frequent flushing.
- Visible Blood Vessels: Minimizes broken capillaries and telangiectasias commonly seen with rosacea.
- Inflammation and Irritation: Calms inflamed skin and reduces irritation from flare-ups.
- Uneven Skin Tone: Reduces redness and discoloration for a smoother complexion.
Benefits of Rosacea Treatment
Calmed Redness and Flushing
Aerolase targets blood vessels to reduce redness and minimize flushing for a more balanced complexion.
Reduced Visible Blood Vessels
Treatment shrinks dilated vessels so broken capillaries become less noticeable. For vessels on the legs, see our spider veins treatment.
Soothing and Anti-Inflammatory
Aerolase calms irritated skin, reducing discomfort and leaving skin feeling refreshed.
More Even Skin Tone
By reducing redness and discoloration, Aerolase restores a vibrant, even complexion. Patients with sun spots may also benefit from hyperpigmentation treatment.
For ongoing skin health, gentle options such as AquaFirme XS facials can support your results between laser sessions. Call (619) 345-3292 to schedule your rosacea consultation.
