Rosacea and Redness, (Acne scarring, Redness of skin, capillaries, stretch mark reduction)
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels, most often on the cheeks, nose, and chin. Some patients may also experience small red bumps or sensitive skin that feels irritated. While rosacea is not harmful, it can be frustrating and impact self-confidence. The good news is that there are safe and effective treatments available to help manage symptoms and restore a clearer complexion.
Rosacea Triggers & Symptoms
Rosacea often flares up due to common triggers such as sun exposure, heat, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skincare products. Symptoms may include:
- Persistent redness
- Flushing or blushing easily
- Visible broken blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Skin sensitivity or burning sensation
- In some cases, acne-like bumps
Identifying your personal triggers and combining this knowledge with professional treatments can help minimize flare-ups.
Although there is no permanent cure for rosacea, modern dermatology offers solutions that significantly reduce redness, minimize flare-ups, and improve overall skin tone. At Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we customize treatment plans based on the severity of your symptoms and your skin goals.
Vbeam LASER for ROSACEA + SKIN REDNESS
The VBeam® pulsed dye laser is one of the most effective treatments for rosacea. It targets visible blood vessels and redness, reducing inflammation and restoring a more even skin tone with little downtime. The Vbeam® laser uses targeted pulses of light to treat redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and other vascular or pigmented skin concerns. It safely reduces discoloration, evens out skin tone, and promotes a clearer, healthier complexion with minimal downtime.
BBL/IPL LASER
BroadBand Light (BBL) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments gently heat the skin to reduce redness, broken capillaries, and uneven pigmentation. These treatments also stimulate collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
MICRONEEDLING, MICRONUTRIENTS + PEPTIDES
Our custom skin cocktails, in particular our Antioxidant Cocktail and Purifying Skin Cocktail can be used to treat rosacea with microneedling. These two cocktails support healing and recovery for rosacea-prone skin. The Antioxidant Cocktail strengthens the skin’s barrier, reduces irritation from environmental triggers, and promotes healthier cell renewal. The Purifying Skin Cocktail helps calm redness, control inflammation, and refine pores, creating a more balanced, soothed, and resilient complexion for those with rosacea.

Maintenance sessions are needed depending on the severity of rosacea on your skin. After the initial treatment series, most patients will usually come in every 6-12 months to have a treatment to maintain results. In severe cases, patients will need come in with more frequency depending on what the provider recommends.

Rosacea is a chronic condition, but consistent care and periodic treatments can keep symptoms under control. For patients who do not maintain treatments for Rosacea, it will get worse over time. To best control your skin’s rosacea, we recommend wearing daily sunscreen, learning to recognize redness triggers, and come in for maintenance treatments as needed.

Laser treatments for Rosacea can start at $500 depending on the area treated. We usually recommend an initial series of 3-4 treatments and offer several package options depending on the series our expert providers recommend.
Genius RF for Acne Scar Removal
Genius RF takes collagen stimulation through microneedling to a new level, offering an advanced treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to intelligently stimulate collagen deep into the layers of the skin. The process involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and collagen remodeling in the deeper layers of the skin. At the same time, the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing skin tightening and texture improvement. This dual-action works to smooth out uneven skin and minimizes the chance of scarring.
Genius RF typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and most patients experience very mild swelling that generally lasts for a day or two. You’ll begin to notice an improvement within a few weeks, but your full results take up to 3 months as your collagen levels increase. We often recommend a series of three treatments, but a consultation is our best way of determining your ideal number of treatments, and if a combination is the right choice for you.
UltraClear for Acne Scar Removal
One of the most potent and results-driven procedures in our armamentarium for acne scar removal is UltraClear, the newest addition to our laser treatments. UltraClear Laser is a cutting-edge technology designed to target and treat various types of skin imperfections, including acne scars.

Over time, the collagen stimulated by the laser continues to refine and smooth the skin’s appearance, making acne scars less noticeable.
Differences Between Lasers for REDNESS AND ROSACEA AND FOR Acne Scar Removal
Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, and UltraClear all work wonders on pigmentation, but are most noted for their collagen-inducing abilities. Vbeam, on the other hand, is considered the gold standard for redness, which is perfect for anyone bothered by persistent redness left behind by their acne scars. While most patients we see benefit from all of our lasers, a consultation may be necessary to make sure we approach your scars with the most effective laser treatment based on your skin type and how much treatment you’ll actually require.
