Vascular diseases – these are always serious problems that are accompanied by impaired blood supply to certain areas and structures of the body, and significantly impair their functions. In dermatology, vascular pathology manifests itself in the form of two common diseases – couperose and rosacea. Egor Vasilyevich Kolodchenko, a specialist in laser technologies, spoke in detail about the features of laser therapy in the complex treatment of couperose and rosacea and the effectiveness of this method especially for the readers of estet-portal.com.
Laser therapy is currently used to treat many diseases. How effective is the laser in the treatment of rosacea and rosacea?
Indeed, today high-tech hardware techniques occupy a more and more worthy place in aesthetic medicine. Today it is difficult to imagine a modern clinic and an advanced doctor who, at least, has never heard and, moreover, has not used any methods, including laser ones. It is popular to talk about it, it is fashionable, it is often prescribed, and, indeed, these developments are so unique, universal, so much work and science has been invested in them that they can give very good results.
The use of laser technology, like any tool, requires a certain level of knowledge, a certain approach and understanding of the process.
It's a pity when a doctor or a specialist without understanding the process recommends this or that manipulation, which, unfortunately, can lead to the opposite result.
What other treatments for couperose and rosacea can be used with laser therapy?
In fact, there is no one unique technique that would give one hundred percent result, since each person is individual, each case is unique in its own way, and, of course, any specialist knows that a combination of several techniques is always much better, than any one of them.
Laser therapy refers to local types of treatment, that is, laser light acts locally at the level of the dermis, does not penetrate anywhere, has no systemic effect, which is why it is very often combined with certain drugs that can be applied systemically or locally.
In case of couperose and rosacea – this is of course a combination with topical anti-couperose preparations.
Why is an integrated approach so important for the effective treatment of couperosis and rosacea?
In my experience, this is of great importance, because it is the complexity that allows you to influence different parts of the immune system. The laser, with all the versatility and diversity of its manifestations, is a fairly accurate tool, that is, it acts only on one thing. For example, in the case of rosacea, the effect is either specifically on the vessels or on the inflammatory element. The pathogenesis of rosacea involves many elements: an inflammatory reaction, stasis, swelling, and outflow disturbances. By and large, no one knows why this disease develops, therefore, the more adequate additional methods that simply give results based on experience, the better, I think.
Egor Vasilyevich, tell me, can the laser be used to prevent couperosis and rosacea?
Unfortunately, no, it is laser techniques that do not provide such prevention.
It's no secret that rosacea is very often provoked by stress, and the laser cannot prevent stress, because it is a person's emotional reaction to some events. Unfortunately, we are only struggling with the consequences and cannot anticipate them.
If it were so easy and simple, of course, it would be very cool, everyone would want and do it, but this is not yet possible.
Which laser techniques can you identify as the most effective in the treatment of couperose and rosacea?
Today, according to the global consensus, according to the guidelines published by the European Association of Laser Dermatology, vascular lasers are very effective in the treatment of rosacea and rosacea. These are red-yellow lasers and infrared lasers. They are widely used in the world, it has been proven to have a good effect, and I would like our doctors to use it more and more, but they just understand how and what can be treated in this way.
