Living with rosacea means dealing with sensitive skin, so it’s normal to worry that laser treatment for rosacea might be painful. In this short article, we discuss the most common fears patients have to help you feel more relaxed and prepared before your appointment.
Why are people scared of lasers for rosacea?
Because rosacea causes burning, flushing, and visible blood vessels, many people imagine that the laser will feel extremely painful. In practice, most describe a brief, warm snap. Some areas may be more sensitive, but sessions are brief, and most people cope well.
What does the procedure actually feel like?
Skin cancer doctors will cleanse your skin and may apply a cool gel. As the laser fires, you might notice a light sting or rubber-band flick with each pulse. Spots like the nose can feel sharper, but each flash is over quickly, and you can request pauses.
