Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 http://www.wnbc.com/ New high-tech treatment for rosacea A new, high-tech treatment for rosacea could help millions of Americans who suffer with this unsightly, often painful condition. New York, May 18 -- An estimated 14 million Americans have rosacea, an acne-like facial skin disorder that looks like a sunburn or complexion problem. cea affects both men and women, beginning as a redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that comes and goes. If untreated, the redness can become permanent, and tiny blood vessels and nasal bumps may appear. Although there's no cure for rosacea, a new, high-tech treatment called intense pulsed light photorejuvenation can significantly reduce the redness. This treatment can also help people with sun- related pigment discoloration, fine lines and enlarged pores. The treatment involves highly controlled flashes of light administered during five to six sessions. It's virtually painless, and only takes about 30 minutes per session. The cost is typically $2,000 to $3,000 for a complete series. If you suspect you may have rosacea, see a dermatologist immediately. You can also check out the National cea Society Web site, or call their toll-free number at 1-888-NO-BLUSH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
