Features of the laser treatment (removal) of rosacea

I first had photorejuvenation and laser correction of the vascular network two years ago, and since then I have repeated the procedures at least once a year. Yes, this is a rather unpleasant procedure, but the rejuvenating effect is worth it. I am very pleased and am thinking of continuing the process. And so that no one doubts that this is not an advertising text, but in fact my personal experience, the material is illustrated with ordinary selfies that I took immediately after the procedure and for a month after it. But first, some information.

Is it possible to get rid of blood vessels forever?

Under the influence of various aggressive factors (frequent visits to baths and saunas, excessive alcohol consumption, harsh weather conditions - extreme heat, cold, stress) - due to increased pressure in the vascular bed, neighboring vessels may begin to appear again. Unfortunately, cosmetology does not fight the cause of blood vessels, but only the aesthetic manifestations. The cause of the appearance of blood vessels on the face is identified by other specialists, and sometimes it can be very difficult to find and eliminate it. Even in this case, the vessels do not disappear on their own, and the patient in this case also turns to a cosmetologist.

Why do spider veins and age spots appear on the skin again?

Without delving into complex biochemical processes, we can describe it this way: skin cells contain the protein hemoglobin and the pigment melanin. When the capillary vessel expands, the hemoglobin in it stagnates, and the star shines through the skin with a blue tint if it is located deep enough, and red if it is on the surface. Melanin is even simpler: it is produced by the skin as protection from the sun, but in some cases (with age, due to hormonal imbalances or uneven insolation) it is released in parts and forms pigment spots.

The difference between working with blood vessels on the face and on the body:

On the face, the vessels are located more superficially than on the body and have a smaller diameter. Therefore, for different zones there are different methods of influence, devices and specialists.

• Cosmetologists work with blood vessels on the face (rosacea, rosacea, port-wine stains and other manifestations), selecting the most effective course of treatment.
• Phlebologists work with blood vessels on the legs. They diagnose the condition of the veins of the lower extremities, including ultrasound (duplex angioscanning), and prescribe appropriate treatment or aesthetic correction.

How does a person look after the procedure?

Honestly, it's scary. Vascular networks turn into bruises, and pigment spots turn into blackened crusts. There are no unpleasant sensations, but a swollen, first reddened, and then covered in spots face does not look the best. And this will continue for about a week, during which you need to wash your face very carefully, and under no circumstances remove the scabs or touch the bruises. But all this can and should be covered with foundation! Yes, and don’t forget that until your skin is completely restored, you need to protect it from the sun, even on cloudy days, apply a product with SPF-50. However, I always do this, and not just after the procedure.

Expert opinion

The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of high-intensity BBL light (the photorejuvenation procedure is also called BBL therapy) is due to the selective absorption of a certain length of light pulse by skin structures. That is, the doctor can take aim and hit the desired target (melanin, hemoglobin, water, collagen).

After the conversion of light energy into heat occurs, a number of complex biochemical processes are launched. During the procedure, more than 1000 dormant genes responsible for regeneration, immunity, metabolism and youthful skin are awakened. And thanks to a specialized cooling nozzle, the procedure is painless and very comfortable. To lighten the skin, carry out photodestruction of blood vessels or eliminate the primary signs of age-related changes, one half-hour session is enough. BBL therapy successfully removes age spots, blood vessels and stagnant post-acne spots.

In order for the effect to last for a long time, during the recovery period it is important to refrain from exposure to the sun (especially in summer), since photodermatoses, burns, and secondary hyperpigmentation are possible. Therefore, after photorejuvenation and photoepilation, it is not recommended to be in the active sun for two weeks, and before each going outside, apply a sunscreen with an SPF factor of at least 50 to the skin.

Cost: face - 15,000 rubles, forehead area - 3,800 rubles, area around the eyes - 6,000 rubles.

Couperosis of the skin is a common phenomenon caused by the expansion and fragility of small vessels with subsequent disruption of microcirculation. Changes appear in the form of persistent reddish or bluish veins and “spider veins” - telangiectasias. Most often, rosacea appears on the nose, cheeks, and chin. It is not considered a disease and does not threaten the health of the skin, but it causes aesthetic discomfort.

Treatment methods for rosacea on the face include photocoagulation and laser techniques. No medications, much less home remedies, can eliminate existing vascular problems. According to professional reviews, IPL treatment with light waves is the best treatment for rosacea on the face.

Equipment capable of completely removing rosacea is not available in every clinic in Moscow. Using the M22 platform at the Academy of Cosmetology, it is easy to remove even very deep and hard-to-reach vessels, for example, rosacea on the wings of the nose.

Stages of development of rosacea

There are three stages of development of this disease:

1. Initial, or first, stage. Characterized by local redness. Possible burning and tingling. As a rule, this condition is not permanent and occurs after temperature fluctuations (for example, being in a warm room after a walk in the cold) or after drinking alcohol or hot food. Reminds me of an allergic reaction.
2. Second stage. At this stage, the redness turns into a pronounced vascular network, which is constantly present on the skin. Areas affected by rosacea suffer from constant dryness and irritation.
3. Third stage. At this stage, inflammatory processes may begin. This skin condition can lead to dangerous consequences and requires immediate treatment.

Under no circumstances should rosacea be ignored, because impaired tissue circulation can lead to disastrous results.

Recommendations after photoremoval of blood vessels

After the procedure, it is important to protect the skin from the sun's rays and lubricate it with moisturizing creams. You cannot use scrubs, visit a solarium, swimming pool, sauna or do other cosmetic procedures.

The price for photoremoval of blood vessels depends on the area in which light exposure is needed. You can get acquainted with the cost of services in the Freesia beauty salon in the price list presented below.

To get rid of vascular formations on the face, we invite you to the Freesia beauty salons.

Ozone therapy for eliminating problems

What is ozone therapy? This method involves using oxygen and ozone into the capillaries on the face through injection. Ozone destroys the stars, and oxygen helps activate oxidation processes.

The advantage of this technique is the complete absence of scars, swelling and other side effects.

The therapeutic effect appears immediately after the session and can last for quite a long period. You may also be wondering what intravenous ozone therapy is.

Result

It is impossible to immediately assess the result of removing rosacea due to the general redness of the skin, which goes away quite quickly. After 3-4 weeks, a decision is made to repeat the procedure, if necessary.

After the procedure, it is necessary not to overheat the skin and protect it from UV rays. You cannot sunbathe, visit the pool and sauna for several days, or perform traumatic cosmetic procedures. Soothing and sunscreen products are applied to the skin.

To completely remove rosacea on the face using the M22 device, you will need from 1-3 to 6-8 procedures, depending on the severity of the rosacea condition. Between sessions it is necessary to take breaks of 3-4 weeks.

It should be understood that phototherapy only eliminates the aesthetic consequences of vascular problems. To strengthen the capillaries, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions and carry out maintenance procedures when new elements appear.

Using laser for treatment

An unwanted vascular pattern can be removed from the patient’s face using laser equipment. Laser correction allows you to eliminate rosacea or dilated blood vessels almost painlessly, and the rehabilitation period will be minimal. Laser treatment can not only treat spider veins and capillaries on the face, but will also eliminate varicose veins in the early stages of the disease. With the help of lasers, other problems are also solved in modern cosmetology. Read here about what laser facial resurfacing is. Laser cleaning is also popular.

Removal of the vascular network is carried out using devices such as Lumenis IPL Quantum.

Photo laser removal Lumenis IPL Quantum

The procedure is extremely simple. The laser beam strongly heats the red pigment of the blood plasma (hemoglobin) of the diseased vessel. As a result, its walls stick together. The flow of blood plasma into this place stops. The vessel itself remains without blood, empty. This leads to his disappearance.

Like non-injection laser biorevitalization, the procedure does not cause pain or other discomfort in patients. During the session, a person may only feel a slight tingling or tingling sensation.

To completely get rid of stars, it takes from 1 to 3 sessions, each lasting 15-20 minutes.

The recovery period after laser treatment is very short - a person can return to normal life within 24 hours after the procedure. Also read about laser nose correction.

Reviews on ways to get rid of rosacea

I have been suffering from rosacea for many years, but I never did anything about it, or rather I used special cosmetics, but it didn’t help and I decided to turn a blind eye to it, but after giving birth I was attacked by a more global problem, a large hemangioma appeared on my nose, and then one more and then I firmly decided that it was time to remove all this stuff with a laser, since it was impossible to walk like this, these bright spots were not covered even by a dense foundation. There is no pain after or during the procedure, there is only a slight burning sensation, about the same as what happens with sunburn, but it does not cause much discomfort and goes away after a few hours. The result fully met expectations, everything turned out exactly as the cosmetologist said. The fresh hemangiomas have disappeared and left no traces, but the rosacea has lightened slightly, but remains in place; I will gradually finish it off with additional procedures.

MESOTHERAPY - salvation from rosacea! When I arrived for the first procedure, I smiled, not knowing what awaited me. 25 minutes under a film with anesthetic cream (cheeks, forehead, chin) is the most pleasant of the whole process. And then... Mesotherapy was performed with the German drug Vasis Leistern Pharmaceuticals. The puncture is not felt at all, but when the drug is injected, it feels as if finely broken glass is going under the skin. Tears flowed spontaneously (in no case do I want to scare anyone, I just want those who are about to undergo this procedure to be mentally prepared for the pain, although a lot depends on the drug). 4 similar procedures were prescribed with an interval of a week. Afterwards - mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid. Result after 2 procedures: complexion has almost evened out! The redness disappears, there is not a single pimple! Result after 4 procedures: I am happy as an elephant! The skin is elastic, looks healthy, and most importantly, the redness is gone

I struggled with this problem for a very long time, the smallest capillary mesh almost all over my face, neither creams nor ascorutin had any effect. I had never even heard of photorejuvenation until I came across this service in the price list of one salon. I read a lot of conflicting information and went to a cosmetologist. She examined me and said that there really was a problem, but first you need to try it on one area, see how the skin reacts and what the effect will be, in order to further understand what to do and how many repetitions. We decided to treat the nose area, that is, the nose itself and especially the wings, where I had bright blood vessels. She worked on an IPL Ana device, making flashes with a power of 35 joules. It was very painful. Of course, I endured everything, endured it calmly, but I noted to myself that the pain was very strong, of course the nose is a painful area. Each flash feels like a hundred needles are simultaneously piercing the skin. Your whole body trembles. Immediately after the procedure, my nose was perfect, simply flawless, not a single vessel, a white and calm nose. After about two hours, the vascular network appeared slightly, but it couldn’t be compared with what was there before. Neither by the evening nor at all did I have any redness, swelling or anything else. The skin burned slightly, it felt like there was some kind of impact and that’s all. The cosmetologist said that I was lucky and the effect was already obvious in just one session. You need to come back in 3 weeks and consolidate the result. Three weeks later I came for the second procedure and treated my entire face. It hurt just like the first time, they even overdid it a little on the forehead and left a red spot that went away within a day. Immediately after the procedure there was no effect, everything remained as it was. This upset me because the first time everything was perfect. It should be noted that the second time I was treated by a different doctor and she simply treated my entire face, but the first time they treated me not only just the area of ​​my nose, but specific blood vessels, repeating outbreaks in specific places. After 2-3 weeks, I realized that the vascular pattern had become more pronounced, that is, it had gotten worse. I read about this effect and it was presented as a normal course of events, but I was not happy. The third time I came specifically to the first specialist, who worked on the result, and did not just go over the entire surface. We chose a power of 37 joules. In one place where there was a bright vessel, I had to make 3 flashes in a row and a red spot remained that lasted for two days. After the third time there was an effect and she and I decided to stop there for my situation. Some people need 2 procedures, others 10. Everything is individual. As a result of this whole story, I came to the conclusion that using the same device, two different specialists can either perform an effective procedure, or simply “go through it” formally. There is a result, some blood vessels have disappeared, some have not even turned pale, but the complexion has become more even. Although I expected much more from this procedure, especially considering how painful it is. And the effect, in its full, original picture, lasts from two weeks to a month. Then, of course, it’s better than it was before, but that’s not enough for me. Two months after the last procedure, everything returned to its place. And sometimes I catch myself wondering if things have gotten worse. Hard to tell. I cannot confidently recommend photorejuvenation. It is painful, expensive and the effect is not one hundred percent.

Preparation for the procedure

The effectiveness of the procedure largely depends on how responsibly the patient approached the preparation and recovery period.

Before carrying out photoremoval of blood vessels, it is important to follow several rules:

• Limit your time in direct sunlight, or use a UV protection cream with at least SPF30.
• 2-3 days before photoremoval of blood vessels, you should stop using products containing alcohol (lotions, tonics, etc.).
• Be sure to tell your esthetician if you are taking any medications or oral contraceptives. Among them may be those that increase the photosensitivity of the skin, which will require correction of the laser pulse power.
