Laser can treat the following problems
Rosacea:
Laser therapy offers a solution to visible blood vessels or extensive redness associated with rosacea. Vascular lasers emit specific wavelengths of light, targeting tiny blood vessels beneath the skin. The laser’s energy generates heat within these vessels, causing them to disintegrate. Typically, a series of at least three treatments is recommended based on the severity of redness or visible blood vessels.
Seborrhea:
For seborrhea, ultraviolet phototherapy treatments are administered two to three times a week using a specialized light booth or box in the doctor’s office.
Acne:
Special lasers focus on sebaceous glands, playing a crucial role in acne development. While not universally effective, this technique provides long-term results for some patients lasting years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What to Expect?
Patients may not observe significant changes until several weeks of treatment. Post-procedure effects may include a pink or red appearance in the treated area for four to eight hours, a mild stinging sensation similar to a sunburn (subsiding within four to six hours), and mild swelling that usually dissipates within several days.
How does it work ?
Redness removal using laser technology involves bio-stimulating the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin through the emission of light. This non-invasive and swift procedure is highly efficient in repairing skin cell damage. The laser specifically targets haemoglobin in the upper papillary dermis, contributing to the thickening of broken and thin capillaries. This treatment promotes collagen stimulation, resulting in redness-free skin that feels revitalized and resilient.
