Reduce Redness and Restore Balance

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition marked by persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, flushing, and small bumps that resemble acne. It commonly affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, and often worsens over time if untreated. At Potomac Aesthetic Surgery, we offer rosacea treatment using the DenaVe laser, which targets the abnormal blood vessels that fuel this condition. Our advanced laser system helps precisely treat vascular redness and visible veins, helping you achieve clearer, healthier skin without downtime.

Rosacea Treatment Helps With These Symptoms:

  • Persistent facial redness that does not fade on its own
  • Flushing and frequent blushing triggered by heat, stress, or alcohol
  • Visible blood vessels and broken capillaries on the face
  • Spider veins and small vascular lesions
  • Inflammation and irritation associated with rosacea

How Does DenaVe Laser Rosacea Treatment Work?

The DenaVe laser uses a precise wavelength of light that specifically targets hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood. When directed at tiny surface blood vessels, the energy gently heats and collapses them without harming the surrounding skin.

Over time, your body reabsorbs these treated vessels, which reduces redness and the visibility of capillaries. This technology delivers energy evenly, making the treatment comfortable with minimal risk of bruising. The result is a clearer, more even complexion with healthier-looking skin.

Benefits of DenaVe Laser Rosacea Treatment:

  • Precisely targets blood vessels that cause redness and flushing
  • Provides smoother, more even energy delivery for added comfort
  • Reduces visible veins, spider veins, and broken capillaries
  • Minimal downtime with quick return to normal activities
  • Lower risk of bruising compared to older vascular lasers
  • Safe and effective for a wide range of skin types
  • Supports long-term management of rosacea symptoms

Your Rosacea Treatment Session

During your rosacea treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and you’ll be given protective eyewear. Our providers, led by Dr. Dassoulas, will then guide the DenaVe laser across areas of redness, delivering gentle pulses of light that target overactive blood vessels beneath your skin. You may feel a warm or light snapping sensation, but most patients find the treatment very tolerable. Sessions usually last 15 to 30 minutes, and you can typically return to your normal routine immediately afterward without downtime.

Recovery After Rosacea Treatment

After your DenaVe laser treatment, you may notice mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a day. Bruising is uncommon with DenaVe, making it gentler than older vascular lasers. You can usually apply sunscreen or makeup the next day and return to social activities immediately.

Visible improvements often appear within the first few weeks, with redness and visible blood vessels gradually fading as your body reabsorbs treated vessels. For optimal results, most patients benefit from a series of two to four treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Because rosacea is a chronic condition, periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to help you maintain clearer, calmer skin and prolong the benefits of your treatment.
