Rosacea Treatment in Midtown, NYC
Rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness and irritation, can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many. However, with the right treatment, it's possible to manage and even reduce its symptoms. If you're in NYC and looking for a solution for rosacea, you've come to the right place.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in your face. It may also produce small, red, pus-filled bumps. The symptoms can flare up for weeks to months and then diminish for a while. Rosacea can be mistaken for acne, other skin problems, or natural ruddiness.
Understanding the Causes of Rosacea Symptoms
Rosacea is a skin condition that's not entirely understood, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development. Here's what may be the causing your rosacea:
Genetics: Rosacea often runs in families, suggesting a genetic link. If your parents or siblings have rosacea, you might be more likely to develop it too.
Environmental Factors: Exposure to extreme temperatures, wind, or certain chemicals can exacerbate rosacea symptoms in some people.
Lifestyle Triggers: Factors such as alcohol consumption, spicy foods, stress, and certain medications may trigger or worsen rosacea symptoms for some individuals.

What to Expect
When you come in for your treatment, you can expect a comfortable experience. While some patients mention feeling a warm sensation during the procedure, it's generally not painful. We meticulously monitor the heat applied during this treatment, however If you ever feel that your skin is getting too hot we can provide a mini handheld fan to keep you comfortable. Our professionals will also talk you through the entire process ensuring you're informed and at ease.
Many patients begin to see improvements after just one treatment session. However, for optimal benefits, multiple sessions are typically recommended. We generally recommend 4-6 sessions for this rosacea treatment, with each session being 1-2 weeks apart.
The full results of the treatment may be observed within 4-6 weeks. Depending on the severity of the rosacea, it might take longer for some individuals to achieve their desired results. It's essential to remember that rosacea is a chronic condition, and while the Excel V+ treatment can significantly reduce symptoms, additional maintenance sessions may be required to keep the skin looking its best.
Addressing Patient Concerns
At Central Park Laser Aesthetics, we understand that undergoing any treatment, especially for a condition as visible as rosacea, can come with concerns and questions. We believe in open communication and ensuring our patients feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Comfort During Procedure
One of the most common questions we receive is regarding the comfort level of the treatment. We're pleased to share that the Excel V+ treatment, combined with Laser Genesis, is generally not painful. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm feeling on the skin. Our approach is always patient-centric. If at any point during the treatment you have concerns or feel discomfort, we encourage open communication.

Long-Lasting Results
It's natural to wonder about the longevity of the treatment results. While the Excel V+ treatment can significantly reduce rosacea symptoms, it's essential to understand that rosacea can be genetically based. This means that while the treatment can manage and reduce symptoms, flare-ups can still occur, especially if triggered by factors like sun exposure. Regular use of SPF and avoiding known triggers can help in minimizing the recurrence. Our team will recommend medical grade skincare products to ensure the results of this treatment are maintained at home.
