How does IPL treats rosacea?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets rosacea, particularly erythema (redness), telangiectasias (visible blood vessels), pigmentation, and inflammatory papules/pustules.

How frequently should I be treated?

• Targets vascular components (redness, flushing, visible vessels) by coagulating hemoglobin.
• Reduces background erythema and improves skin texture.
• May also help with persistent facial redness (Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea).

What should I expect following the treatment?

• Frequency: Typically 3–5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
• Settings: Customized based on skin type (Fitzpatrick I–IV respond best).
• IPL (515–1200nm filters): Lower fluences, multiple pulses to avoid overheating.

What is the treatment effective for?

• Good for vascular & mild inflammatory rosacea.

What else can I do to optimize my treatment?

• Topicals (Metronidazole, Ivermectin, Azelaic Acid).
• Oral medications (Doxycycline, Low-dose Isotretinoin).
• Long Pulse 755nm Alexandrite & 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser.
