laser resurfacing would help to cure some rosacea cells on the face as this

is a complete procedure of the whole face. Something to think about? Yes?

It doesn't destroy the vascular aspect, but it destroys the cells involved

in the growth of the tissue and large pores. Basically it gives that

unswollen no pore appearance back, but the redness remains and would have to

be taken out by photoderm. I think if you used it on your cheeks it wouldn't

help much unless you had some sort of growth in the cheeks, but it would

leave htem alot more sensitive and maybe make the problem even worse there.

As for the nose, I can handle a red sensitive nose, that'll be fixed with

photderm, but a huge WC Fields nose is 10 times worse.

then it might work for me. My problem is enlarged pores with slight

broken blood vessels around the nose. I have no redness, and no acne.

,

CO2 laser resurfacing has a much longer down time than any other form of

laser treatment. Published articles showed impressive results of this

modality in sculpting off the excess tissue in severe cases of rhinophyma.

From my experience in seeing some of my patients who have had this procedure

done (for their wrinkles - not for rhinophyma), it takes 1 week to 10 days

for the acute oozing & crusting to heal. Then it takes between 3 months to a

year or more for the erythema to subside. I imagine that for rosaceans, a

longer rather than shorter duration is more likely.
