The symptoms are characterized by the vascular telangiectasia and general erytema that are visible on the face, sometimes accompanied with pustules and papules. There is no unified consensus as what causes this disease. What is known is that there is a significant increase in Demodex Folliculorum, a hair mite in patients with rosacea. The hair mites clog glands which lead to the inflammation seen in rosacea patient. What researchers are also focusing on is the genetics of rosacea patients. How certain cell receptors affect specific cell’s function in the presence of dust mites antigens and bacterial proteases leading to increase inflammation in the skin.

The Laser Genesis heats up the papillary dermis reaching vessels beyond the reach of the IPL. As a result the heat stimulates cytokine release and brings fibroblast all over the treated site over the next seven day to ten days, which translates to increase collagen production. This new collagen helps support existing vessels. As we age, collagen decrease and we begin to sag because of continuous UV exposure and the supporting structure of the cutaneous vessels break down. This is possibly the reason we see the symptoms of rosacea patient worsen at the age of thirty and over. Following the use of the Laser Genesis the IPL will be used, which will address the diffuse redness, telangiactatic matting.
