Vascular laser therapy is a modern method of reducing symptoms of rosacea, such as redness, telangiectasia, and papulopustular changes. Thanks to the precise action of the laser light, it is possible to close dilated blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and improve the condition of the skin – without disrupting its continuity.

When is laser therapy recommended?

The treatment is recommended for individuals with:

Chronic or episodic facial redness
Visible, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia)
Papular and pustular changes in the course of rosacea
Burning sensation, "hot skin," and hypersensitivity
Aggravations triggered by stress, UV radiation, high temperatures, alcohol, or cosmetics
Inadequate effectiveness of dermatological treatment

Laser therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or as a support to pharmacological treatment – depending on the type and phase of the disease.

Effects of laser treatment

Laser treatment acts in multiple dimensions – it alleviates symptoms, regenerates, and strengthens the skin:

Reduction of redness and blood vessels

➔ Effective closure of dilated vessels
➔ Visible improvement in skin tone and reduction of redness

Decrease in the number of papules and pustules

➔ Anti-inflammatory action within hair follicles
➔ Decrease in lesion activity and prolongation of remission

Improvement in skin structure and firmness

➔ Smoothing of the skin surface, reduction of pores
➔ Greater resistance to irritating factors

Reduction in skin reactivity

➔ Strengthening of blood vessels
➔ Improvement in microcirculation and reduction in skin hyperreactivity

Enhancement of psychological comfort

➔ Reduction in visible symptoms
➔ Increase in self-confidence and better well-being

The effects are visible after a few days, but full improvement builds gradually. A series of 2-4 treatments is recommended.

Laser or pharmacology? A brief guide

In the active phase (when papules and pustules dominate)

➔ Laser therapy complements dermatological treatment
➔ Shortens the therapy time and reduces the risk of relapse

In the chronic phase (dominated by redness and blood vessels)

➔ Laser can be the treatment of choice
➔ Allows for a reduction in medication use

What to combine for better effect?

Combining treatments increases therapy effectiveness and accelerates skin regeneration:

INDIBA® Deep Care (capacitive-resistive radiofrequency)

➔ When: 5-7 days after laser treatment
➔ Why: anti-inflammatory action, regeneration, and improved circulation

Manual lymphatic drainage of the face or neuro-calming therapy (gentle version of Kobido drainage)

➔ When: between treatments or after completing the series
➔ Why: supports detoxification, reduces swelling, regulates the nervous system
➔ Note: these techniques can be very beneficial in the course of rosacea, but only outside the acute phase and with proper technique adjustment

Dermocosmetic treatments using Sesderma, Epionce, Dermaquest

➔ When: 7-10 days after treatment
➔ Why: rebuild the hydrolipid barrier, soothe, and support regeneration

LED phototherapy (red or amber light)

➔ When: after treatment or between sessions
➔ Why: anti-inflammatory action, accelerates healing, and supports the stabilization of effects

Why combine treatments?

Increased therapy effectiveness

Action at different levels: vessels, inflammation, epidermal barrier
Quicker effects and longer maintenance of results
Fewer relapses and better treatment tolerance

When not to combine?

In the exacerbation phase with intensified inflammation and pustules
In combination with exfoliating treatments (retinoids, acids) without proper spacing – minimum 3-4 weeks
After intense sun exposure or during photosensitizing therapy
During pregnancy and lactation (after individual qualification)
