Serenity Zone Med Spa in Olney, Maryland, is a full-service medical spa owned and operated by Jennifer Swalwell. In this article, Swalwell describes the best professional-level treatments that are available to help men and women with rosacea, as well as the reasons why those professional-level treatments work better than the over-the-counter variety.
Rosacea is a problem that can impact men and women of many ages and skin types. Whereas in years past it was difficult to get rid of rosacea, we now have laser treatment options that give patients a really great result in not a lot of time.
While we do use laser treatments to get rid of rosacea for women and men, it is also common that we will combine those laser treatments with a few medical-grade, at-home products that our clients can use. To be clear, these at-home products are not the same creams and gels that people can buy at the pharmacy. The products that we give clients to take home after undergoing a laser treatment are products that can only be dispensed through a medical spa or a physician’s office. What makes the products we dispense of a higher quality than those products that people can buy at their local drugstores are the ingredients themselves. The ingredients tend to be of a higher quality, which is advantageous to any client hoping to get rid of his rosacea quickly.
When we use these creams in conjunction with a laser procedure, we tend to see improvement much more quickly for patients than if we had just sent them home with the at-home product without also giving a laser treatment. The combination of these treatment methods gives people a quick, desirable result.
The reason why this works has to do with stimulation of cells. The lasers that we use on the face are stimulating the skin cells to turn over quickly. And when you are stimulating the skin to grow new, fresh cells, that will always give people a fresh, clear look on their skin.
We can accomplish things with lasers that take months, or longer, to accomplish with creams and gels alone. Although it is possible to get rid of rosacea using at-home products by themselves, it will most likely take most clients a much longer time to accomplish. While I would not say that it is impossible to get rid of rosacea with at-home products by themselves, it will take longer. Instead, patients who come into a medical spa for treatment can start seeing dramatic results in the reduction of rosacea in as little as three to five, or four to six, appointments.
That in itself is why so many men and women are increasingly coming to medical spas and using this laser technology to get rid of rosacea and other skin issues.
