Rosacea

More than 16 million Americans are affected by rosacea — facial redness, visible blood vessels and bumps that can be mistaken for acne. From occasional flair-ups to permanent redness, laser treatments can be just what is needed to eliminate rosacea and the appearance of facial veins and telangiectasis.

Our Breakthrough Technology Offers Significant Benefits

Cartessa’s devices that target facial redness and rosacea offer alternatives to what have been considered gold standard like pulse-dyed lasers. Our experts look for effective laser wavelengths, versatile and controlled energy delivery and the ability to minimize side effects and downtime.


Motus AZ+

The Motus AZ+ uses a 1064nm laser wavelength and the unique moveoVL handpiece to target rosacea. What makes the moveoVL handpiece unique is the in-motion technology and a chilled sapphire tip that allows the comfortable and safe delivery of effective doses of energy to help resolve the redness so commonly seen with rosacea. Traditional delivery is also available for more targeted treatments.

Individual results and treatments needed may vary.


Chrome

The chrome lase station has two options to treat rosacea. The gold standard is using a YAG 1064 wavelength that targets the pigment found in the blood vessels that cause redness. The light is converted into heat, destroying the blood vessel safely. This type of delivery can be focused on a specific target or vessel, or we can use this modality to treat diffuse redness associated with rosacea.

Individual results and treatments needed may vary.


EVO Light 4V

EVO has the ability to treat rosacea by using the wave lengths 1064nm and 532nm. Either wavelength can be used to treat rosacea however, the 532nm is an excellent option for those bright reds that are lighter in color that tend to be more superficial in the skin, causing diffuse redness associated with Rosacea. This is a safe and effective way to treat any type of rosacea whether it is rosacea of erythema or telangiectasia associated with rosacea.

Individual results and treatments needed may vary.


IPL

IPL is an option available on ChromeEVO and Discovery Pico devices with wavelength ranges to treat rosacea. Using the IPL targeting the pigment found in the blood vessels to coagulate them, creating the body to clear them away. This is found to be useful in targets that are very bright pink, or very light in color. IPL can be safely used on skin types one through four. 

Individual results and treatments needed may vary.
