How Many Laser Sessions Do I Need?

Achieving a significant reduction in rosacea-related redness and vessels requires a series of sessions often followed by periodic maintenance to keep the results.

Typical treatment courses

For most patients, an initial course of 3 to 6 treatment sessions is recommended to achieve optimal clearance. These sessions are typically spaced 6 weeks apart. This interval allows the skin to heal fully and lets the body clear away the treated vessels between sessions.

Maintenance timelines

Rosacea is a chronic condition, and the underlying tendency for new blood vessels to form remains and this should be managed with medical treatments such as creams and tablet treatments. In addition to this periodic top up treatments with vascular laser or IPL may be required for example once every 12 months.
