| Can laser or pulsed light treatment help
            with rosacea? Answered by Dr. Harvey H. Jay
 I have successfully treated rosacea with laser and pulsed light
            methods for over eight years. My methods produce dramatic results,
            and are effective and safe for all skin types.
             Do you suffer from:
             
              Redness and/or Blood Vessels?
              Flushing, Burning, Stinging, or Tingling?
              Pimples?
              Steroid Rosacea?  Redness and/or Blood Vessels
            Since December of 1995, I have successfully treated hundreds of
            patients with distinct blood vessels or smaller "blush" blood
            vessels with PhotoDerm. I use completely different settings to treat
            smaller and larger vessels. In my hands, pulsed light can routinely
            treat and improve the blush or blood vessels of rosacea virtually
            painlessly. Patients are usually able to return to their normal
            activities within minutes after treatment.
 Treatment usually produces an immediate improvement which
            frequently continues to improve for an additional 1 to 2 weeks after
            each treatment. Bruising is very rare and occurs in less than 1% of
            treatments.
             Patients who have previously been treated with lasers, electric
            needles, sclerotherapy injections, or even by PhotoDerm pulsed light
            administered by non-expert M.D.'s are amazed at their results after
            my Photoderm pulsed light treatment of new blood vessels and/or
            blush. No other method is available to treat this problem as safely,
            quickly, and comfortably! No oral or topical anesthetic has ever
            been needed by my patients!
             I routinely see patients who have one or more of the following
            facial problems: prominent blood vessels, redness, flushing, and
            symptoms such as burning, stinging or tingling. Most of these
            patients have been unsuccessfully treated with topical and/or
            oral medications.
             According to most of my patients, topical rosacea
            treatments such as:
             
              Metronidazole (Metrogel, Metrocream, Metrolotion, Noritate)
              Clindamycin (Cleocin T gel, lotion or solution, Clindagel,
              Clindamax lotion or gel)
              Azelaic Acid (Azelex, Finacea)
              Sulfacetamide
              Sulfur  or oral medication such as:
             
              Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Minocycline, Doxycycline  have not been helpful in treating their rosaceal problem.
            All of these medicines do not significantly improve the
            redness, blush, blood vessels, or the flushing, burning, stinging,
            or tingling of rosacea.
             Pulsed light — using my Ultimate Light™ method — can &
            does frequently improve these problems!
             Most of these topical or oral medications' effect is on the
            pimples (papules or pustules) that can occur in Rosacea. My patients
            report that their pimples respond to pulsed light Ultimate Light™
            treatment. The pulsed light treatment can improve the pimples to
            such an extent that additional topical or oral medications
            frequently can be reduced or eliminated completely!
