Rosacea Awareness Month: The Gentle Laser Treatment Changing the Way We Treat Redness
April marks Rosacea Awareness Month, shining a spotlight on a chronic skin condition that affects 10% of the Irish population. Known as the ‘curse of the Celts’, rosacea is often misunderstood.
For many, rosacea isn’t just a skin concern; it can also impact both confidence and everyday comfort. Visible redness and flare-ups can lead to self-consciousness, while sensitivity and triggers make the skin feel unpredictable and difficult to manage. This chronic skin condition is characterised by four main subtypes of rosacea, which include symptoms such as persistent redness, facial flushing, sensitivity, skin thickening, enlargement of the nose, and an inflammatory papulopustular eruption resembling acne, making rosacea difficult to manage.
However, innovative treatments and technologies are making clear, calm skin more achievable than ever. CUTERA Laser Genesis is the go-to treatment for those looking to visibly reduce redness and restore confidence in their skin.
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive, comfortable laser treatment designed to help manage the visible symptoms of rosacea. It works by gently heating the upper layers of the dermis, which helps reduce persistent facial redness, inflammation, and flushing while also stimulating collagen production.
Using non-ablative laser technology, Laser Genesis targets tiny blood vessels beneath the skin without damaging the surface, meaning there’s no downtime. A course of 4-6 sessions is typically recommended for optimal results.
Overall, Laser Genesis offers a gentle and effective way to calm the skin, improve its appearance, and take control of redness associated with rosacea.
Laser Genesis is available from €150 per session from leading Aesthetic Clinics nationwide.
