Dr. Nase Issues Warnings on Using Laser to Treat Rosacea

You will soon see the Internet and TV adds filled with Fraxel Laser adds. This is a new anti-wrinkle machine that claims there is no down time. It delivers dozens of microburns deep into the dermis.The results are very impressive (literally taking 10 to 15 years off the appearance). But, as a rosacea sufferer, you are playing a very dangerous game. Microburns is the key term. Microburning parts of blood vessels and nerves. I have not heard yet of a rosacea case being treated with the Fraxel. I know all the physicians that I am close to will not touch a rosacea sufferer with the Fraxel. You must weigh the risk/benefit ratio. The problem is that every laser is now claiming "no downtime" when clearly the versapulse, vbeam,595 candela all cause 7 to 10 days of downtime still. Be carefullout there. Also be wary that some laser doctors will say anything and promise you the world without a blink of the eye. It does happen.
