The Diode Laser in the treatment of Rosacea.

Rosacea is a condition affecting the skin of the face identified by persistent redness, spider veins and pimples. The most famous sufferer of Rosacea is W.C. Fields. Rosacea is usually seen in fair skinned adults who have a history of blushing or flushing, although it can affect people of any skin type. The most common symptoms of Rosacea include:

• Redness that looks like a sunburn or blush. The redness will eventually be ore noticeable and will not go away.
• Pimples, small red and solid or pus-filled.  
• Red lines (Telangectasias) or facial spider veins, that are actually enlarged blood vessels usually appearing on the cheeks.  
• Nasal bumps or rhinophyma, making the nose look swollen and red. This condition is more common in men.

The Diolite 532 Laser targets the enlarged blood vessels and acts to clear the redness of Rosacea. While Rosacea cannot be cured, it can be controlled. Early treatment can lessen and get rid of symptoms, and help to stop the disease from progressing. The most important step is to see a dermatologist early on to begin a treatment regimen.
