IPL an effective rosacea laser treatment performed in Katy

Rosacea is a condition that affects the skin in such a way as to produce chronic redness. Rosacea looks a lot like acne, and may include bumps and pimples that make a proper diagnosis somewhat difficult. Recognizing the difference between acne and rosacea can lead to effective treatment from your dermatologist, and a renewed sense of confidence in your skin. We cannot hide our faces from the world, and yet rosacea, if not addressed successfully, creates a perpetual problem. Three out of four people with this condition report feelings of low self-esteem due to the appearance of their skin. Nearly half of rosacea patients report avoiding social activities to avoid embarrassment. Because rosacea is a chronic problem for which there is no cure, many people feel they have nowhere to turn to renew their confidence in their skin.

Dr. W Dermatology can help you gain control of rosacea once and for all. Providing individualized care, Dr. Weaver customizes care to each patient based on the severity of his or her condition, and skin type. Options such as laser treatment or IPL, topical antibiotics, or oral medication may each be discussed during an initial consultation for rosacea treatment in our Katy, TX dermatology practice.

IPL, also called photorejuvenation is the form of laser treatment that uses intense pulsed light to improve skin tone. This comfortable treatment is ideal for the treatment of various skin concerns, including:

• Sun spots and age spots on the face, chest, neck, hands, and other areas
• Broken blood vessels
• Redness and flushing that occur as a result of rosacea

Dr. W has an extensive background in treating matters of the skin, both cosmetic and medical in nature. When consulting with patients about their concerns and aesthetic desires, he listens carefully before recommending the most suitable treatment plan. Each person’s skin is unique to him or her, and the treatment we provide will be based on particulars including skin type and tone, so that the desired outcome can be achieved.

Many of the issues that develop with our skin do not appear overnight, although it can seem so. Photorejuvenation is a treatment that works over time, promoting change from within. Most people receive three to five treatments over a period of a few months. Each treatment is comfortable and effective, targeting the red blood cells that cause diffuse redness on the skin. Absorbed by the cells within the skin, light energy causes the fragmentation of pigment, which is then absorbed into the body. Over the course of the recommended IPL sessions, redness will become less and less noticeable, and you will feel increasingly satisfied with the appearance of your skin.

Our skin is, largely, what shows our vitality. Feel and look your best with individualized care from experienced dermatologist Dr. Weaver.
