Rosacea and lasers
Nice little article at rosacea.org
Lasers Offer Key Treatment Options for More Difficult Signs of Rosacea
Quote:
"In a controlled study of laser therapy for rosacea, one side of the faces of 12 patients was treated with a pulsed dye laser, while the other side remained untreated as a control. The investigators noted a reduction of visible blood vessels by 75 percent, as well as a 55 percent reduction in flushing and a 50 percent reduction in redness. The treatment had no effect on papules and pustules. "
One of the studies referenced is "Lasers and light sources for rosacea" by Goldberg.
