[Beyond redness, to pores and skin texture] Redness Laser

Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea can be categorized into vascular type and reactive type, depending on the condition of the blood vessels.

Vascular rosacea is characterized by visible capillaries appearing on the skin surface.

When thin capillaries are visible to the naked eye, vascular laser treatments such as V-beam or Excel V

are a primary consideration.

Direct thermal coagulation therapy may be necessary to constrict dilated and fixed blood vessels.

However, it is important to consider the possibility that rosacea may reappear within 3-6 months with this standalone treatment.

Therefore, after addressing the blood vessels, it is advisable to combine this with management that reduces the skin's excessive reactivity.

Reactive rosacea appears as the face easily flushing in response to specific stimuli.

This means that the blood vessels themselves are not dilated, but rather their reactivity is hypersensitive.

In such cases, vascular lasers may not be as effective as expected, or could even worsen redness due to skin irritation.

In these situations, Microneedle RF (Needle RF) treatment can be considered as one of the primary approaches.

The mechanisms by which Microneedle RF treatment can help improve rosacea are as follows:

1. Dermal Regeneration Induction

Expectation for fundamental improvement in skin structure

Microneedle RF delivers high-frequency thermal energy to the dermal layer, activating fibroblasts.

This can promote the production of extracellular matrix components such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Consequently, the density and elasticity of the dermal layer increase,

and the reactivity of superficial blood vessels to external stimuli may decrease, making them less noticeable.

In other words, by strengthening the skin's foundational layer, it can help reduce the extent to which blood vessels react sensitively to external factors.

2. Vasomotor Regulation

“Calming sensitive blood vessels”

A significant characteristic of reactive rosacea is the tendency for blood vessels to excessively dilate.

Microneedle RF treatment stabilizes the smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels through repeated thermal stimulation,

and by regulating signals from the hypersensitive autonomic nervous system, it can help gradually reduce the frequency of sudden flushing episodes.

3. Suppression of Inflammatory Response

“Extinguishing inflammation within the skin”

In skin where rosacea has become chronic, excessive secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, VEGF) is often observed.

These substances dilate blood vessels,

induce melanin production,

and are a factor in causing persistent redness.

The localized heat from Microneedle RF can suppress the activity of inflammatory mediators within the dermal layer, thereby offering a positive effect in soothing chronic inflammatory rosacea.

4. Sebaceous Gland Function Stabilization

“Less sebum means less heat and less redness”

Excessive sebum secretion can lead to an increase in skin temperature, which in turn promotes blood vessel dilation and can worsen redness.

Microneedle RF delivers thermal energy to the dermal layer around the sebaceous glands, helping to regulate sebum secretion. Especially in cases of rosacea accompanied by oily skin, simultaneous improvement in symptoms of heat and burning sensation can be expected.

5. Regulation of Nerve Hypersensitivity

“Reducing neurotransmitters that induce redness”

When the skin is stimulated, vasodilatory neuropeptides such as Substance P and CGRP are released from sensory nerve endings. These substances can dilate blood vessels and cause redness, heat, and burning sensations.

Consistent Microneedle RF treatment can help reduce the hypersensitivity of these nerve endings, thereby decreasing unnecessary and excessive redness responses.

It's easy to think of it simply as a phenomenon where the skin surface reddens, but rosacea has more complex causes.

Inside the skin, various problems such as a thinned dermal layer, hypersensitive nerve responses, chronic inflammatory reactions, and sebaceous gland dysfunction can interact in a complex way.

Procedures such as ExcelV, Vbeam laser, and Potenza Needle RF can each

alleviate visible skin problems while simultaneously regulating the internal skin environment.

When these two approaches are balanced, they can reduce the likelihood of rosacea recurrence and contribute to long-term skin stability.

Beyond simply removing redness, improving the internal skin environment in a healthy way can be seen as a more fundamental direction for management.

Genesis Laser

- Micro thermal energy can be delivered deep into the skin, helping to calm dilated blood vessels.

- It can stimulate collagen production, which can positively impact skin elasticity and pore improvement.

- There is less burden in returning to daily life after the procedure, and you can expect improved skin texture along with rosacea relief.

Poten Needle RF

- By directly delivering thermal energy to the skin's dermal layer using microneedles, it can contribute to rosacea improvement.

- It can strengthen the dermal structure, helping to stabilize blood vessels from a long-term perspective.

- You can expect multifaceted skin improvement effects, including enhanced skin barrier function and pore reduction.

Cases to Consider the Procedure

• 1. Those who frequently experience redness on their face and feel discomfort
• 2. Those who wish to improve rough skin texture along with rosacea
• 3. Those who plan long-term management by addressing the root causes of rosacea

What to Expect from the Procedure

• 1. You can expect rosacea improvement with a relatively short procedure time of about 10 minutes.
• 2. There is minimal recovery burden after the procedure, so daily life is largely uninterrupted.
• 3. This approach can provide comprehensive benefits, including not only rosacea improvement but also enhanced skin barrier, elasticity, and pore refinement.
