Diffuse redness of the face or rosacea is a common condition where there are tiny dilated capillary blood vessels which cause the appearance of a general non-discrete redness. This is a common condition. It can be treated with a number of different medications. Using the Cutera laser, we can decrease the discoloration of this problem with our laser Genesis skin therapy. Most patients require four to six treatments to achieve optimal results. These treatments are typically spread out three to four weeks apart and the patients require maintenance therapy about every three to six months. There are very few side effects. Typically, patients will get redder temporarily for about a half an hour, sometimes up to 24 hours.
