Study Demonstrates Efficacy of Laser Treatment of Rosacea
In certain cases, the papulopustular and telangiectatic components of rosacea are unresponsive to traditional antibiotics treatments. In a recent study, Larson AA, Goldman MP, in conjunction with Dermatology Section of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, have presented a case that was unresponsive to treatment with antibiotics.
In response, they utilized the multiplexed laser for treatment of both papular and telangiectatic (for telangiectasias relating to varicose veins disease, please see this site) rosacea with success. Laser treatment of the redness and telangiectatic components of rosacea has recently been very popular. Dr. Eric Bernstein has demonstrated highly effective results with his treatment with laser. Does anyone have any results, or experiences with recalcitrant rosacea being treated with laser therapy?
