What are the symptoms of rosacea and facial thread veins?
Rosacea is often hereditary and develops for a number of reasons. You should seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid worsening of symptoms.
Rosacea can be identified by recurrent or permanent redness on the face. Often there can be eruptions on the surface of the skin that range from small red bumps to pimples. The most frequently affected areas are the cheeks and the nose but sometimes rosacea extends to the forehead and the chin.
The condition proceeds in three stages. The first stage is characterised by redness from exercise, consuming alcohol, stressful situations, or sudden temperature changes. In the second stage red patches or permanently dilated blood vessels called erythrosis or facial thread veins appear. Finally, in the most advanced stage of rosacea, small bumps resembling acne appear on the skin. For optimal results, it is best to have laser treatment before the third stage.
Factors that can cause facial thread veins
- Repeated sudden temperature changes (using the sauna frequently, high altitude mountaineering…)
- Intense exercise
- Spicy food
- Alcohol
How does laser treatment for facial thread veins and rosacea work?
Areas of redness identified for treatment are targeted with a beam of laser light causing the redness to instantly disappear. We call this selective photothermolysis because the laser does not affect surrounding tissue. Laser treatment does not cause scarring.
The results are instantaneous and the unsightly dilated blood vessels disappear as if they had been rubbed out with an eraser. The treatment significantly reduces redness of the skin. No anaesthetics are required for the laser treatment of facial thread veins. The sensation of the laser on the skin is slightly uncomfortable but fades as soon as treatment is over.
Why choose laser treatment for facial thread veins and rosacea?
There are many advantages to treating facial thread veins or rosacea by laser. Lasers allow rapid and highly effective treatment for rosacea and dilations of tiny red and purplish vessels on the cleavage and other parts of the body. After the first session, you will already see a noticeable reduction of visible capillaries. In most cases, they disappear completely.
Laser technology has been used in the medical field for almost 30 years and has proven widely effective. To achieve the best results, we use several lasers of different wavelengths to treat rosacea and facial thread veins. At Clinic Lémanic we frequently recommend this type of treatment for redness because the results are consistent and long-lasting. The results last several years. Our patients report that the treatment has given them their confidence back and that they now enjoying a new lease on life
Following treatment, you will note that the condition of your skin has improved, becoming smoother and softer to the touch.

Different treatment stages
Consultation
Procedure
Consultation
Before any treatment of your facial thread veins, you will require an appointment with the medical director. She will make a diagnosis, select the laser treatment appropriate for you and evaluate whether any complementary prescriptions are required.
Procedure
You will be in and out of the clinic in an hour and a half. You should arrive for your appointment without makeup or remove your makeup here. You will be given protective eyewear and the treatment will begin. The affected areas will be swept with harmless targeted light pulses. Several lasers may be used. Once the vascular laser session is complete, the specialist will apply a regenerative cream to your skin.
How many sessions you will need will depend on the severity of your rosacea and facial thread veins prior to treatment.

How long before I see results from my laser treatment? Are the results long-lasting?
You will notice the first results immediately. The final results of the session will become clear after three months, after which time a second session might be recommended. This will depend on the seriousness of your condition before starting treatment.
treatment does not halt the natural tendency for redness to appear with time. The good news is that all you have to do is return for another session to relieve you of the condition for several more years.
After treatment, our patients often report regaining their self-esteem and confidence to go out, meet people and attend social events. No more heavy make up for the ladies and, for the guys, no more awkward questions about how you slept or how much you had to drink the night before.
Can laser treatment work on all types of facial thread veins?
Yes, the treatment is appropriate for any type of facial thread veins or erythrosis (redness of the skin) on the face, neck, cleavage or other parts of the body. If your facial thread veins are accompanied by rosacea and you are in the middle of an acute flare up, the doctor may decide to delay your laser treatment until your skin has cleared up and may prescribe medication to help this along.
Treatment by vascular laser is also appropriate for skin presenting with radiodermatitis after radiotherapy. In this case several sessions will be necessary.
Prior to starting treatment, you will have a consultation with our experienced medical director. She will guide you and answer any questions you may have.
