What Causes Rosacea and How to Treat it

If you struggle with redness, bumps, and “broken” blood vessels, you may have rosacea. This condition can cause significant stress and frustration. Fortunately, Dr. Dohner and his team can develop a treatment plan to manage your rosacea symptoms. Rosacea treatment often requires a comprehensive plan in order to provide long-lasting relief.

What Causes Rosacea?

Scientists think that rosacea results from a combination of factors. Heredity plays a role, so that if you have it, you may have family members that also suffer from it. Autoimmune and environmental factors also seem to contribute. Rosacea often flares and fades, especially when exposed to certain triggers such as exercise, weather changes, stress, and irritating products.

How to Treat Rosacea

At New York Skin & Vein Centers, we treat rosacea with a comprehensive plan that provides results. Rosacea ranges widely in severity, so each person’s treatment plan will differ. Your methods of rosacea management include:

Trigger avoidance
ZO Skin Health products
Topical prescription treatments
Laser therapy

Laser treatments seal shut the blood vessels that cause the redness and individual broken capillaries that make you look flushed and blushed. We perform Laser treatments with the Excel® V laser. This laser uses two wavelengths, allowing it to target red, blue, purple, and brown pigments. The laser energy heats these pigments, closing the redness-causing blood vessels. This provides long-lasting relief from symptoms such as flushing, redness, and uneven skin tone.

Is There Any Downtime After Rosacea Treatment?

Medical-grade ZO Skin Health products provide a non-irritating way to improve skin oiliness, roughness, and bumps. Prescription treatments are stronger and can have side effects for some people, although these are usually mild. The Excel® V laser usually causes a day or two of sunburn-like redness and sensitivity. You can resume all your usual activities within that time. However, make sure to avoid sun exposure.

The first step is to schedule an in-person consultation with one of our highly trained providers at New York Skin & Vein Center located in Oneonta, NY, serving the surrounding New York City areas with additional offices in Norwich, Binghamton, and Cobleskill.

Am I a Good Candidate for Rosacea Treatment?

Anyone with rosacea makes a good candidate for a customized rosacea management plan. The treatments included in this plan will vary based on your needs. While not everyone makes a good candidate for the Excel® V laser, it can provide long-lasting results for most people. With the experienced New York Skin & Vein Centers team on your side, you will find a routine that lets you feel free and confident in your skin.

What Results Will I See With Rosacea Treatment?

You will see results after just one treatment with the Excel® V laser. Your skin will look smoother, softer, and even-toned. Most people see at least a 50% improvement in redness and noticeable fading of pigmented spots. While each person’s results will vary, you can expect one to two treatments yearly to control the redness and keep your skin clear.

★★★★★ 5/5

I’ve now had two procedures with NY Skin & Vein—one injection and one laser treatment. The care providers put me at ease by answering my questions. They’re clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The staff in the office is professional and warm. I also appreciate their holistic approach to skincare (dermatological & cosmetic injections and laser services, as well as ZO skincare products). Looking forward to my next visit.

What a fantastic group of people that are employed at the Binghamton office. Always treat you like family and put you at ease IF you are the least bit apprehensive about procedures. DR. Stanley Anderson is absolutely amazing. Unbelievable with fantastic results. Love the way he explained EVERY little detail and options.Most appreciative of his patience with me.Highly recommend.

Doctor Dohner and his staff (at multiple locations I've visited) are all amazing. I visited the Binghamton office today after not being seen in 7 years. I was able to get a quick appointment, when I arrived they had everything ready for me and I was taken right back and had my procedure done. I have never experienced anything but professionalism and compassion from Dr. Dohner. I highly recommend seeing him and his excellent staff for anything vein related.

I went in to get my lips enhanced and some fillers. Though it wasn't the most pleasant procedure I've ever gone through. Erin and Dr. Dohner kept my mind busy with their witty and funny banter. My lips look great! Dr. Dohner and his staff are professional, compassionate, and they make sure you are comfortable and ready for your procedures. They will definitely be seeing more of me.

I came to Dr. Dohner with aching/ throbbing, leg pain, bulging veins, and tired/heavy legs. Dr. Dohner did an in office vein procedure to fix my veins. The office got me in to have the procedure within one week, before the new year because I had already met my deductible. What a wonderful experience. Thank You everyone so much.

I came to see Dr. Dohner because my legs really ached, and I had a difficult time to put a sock on my left leg because of swelling and tender to the touch. He did an in office procedure to close my veins. I can now put my sock on with no problem. I walk a lot better and can climb stairs without them aching. It was great that I didn’t have to fast and could be awake during the procedure.
