Rosacea Treatments to Calm Redness, Strengthen Skin, and Restore Clarity

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and flare-ups triggered by stress, weather, or skincare products. At Kovak Cosmetic Center, we target rosacea at its source with state-of-the-art treatments like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) phototherapy, vascular laser therapy, and soothing medical-grade skincare.

Our board-certified providers use light-based technology to collapse dilated vessels, reduce flushing, and calm the skin barrier — restoring a clearer, more even-toned complexion without medication or downtime.

What to Expect from Treatment for Rosacea at Kovak Cosmetic Center

1–3 Days

Immediately after your IPL or laser session, the skin may appear slightly pink or feel warm to the touch. This is a normal response and fades quickly.

✓ Mild redness or flushing
✓ No downtime — resume routine the same day
✓ Skin begins calming at the vascular level

4–10 Days

Redness and broken capillaries begin to fade as treated vessels are reabsorbed by the body. Flare-ups become less frequent and easier to manage.

✓ Visible reduction in redness and flushing
✓ Smoother, more even skin tone
✓ Early improvement in skin reactivity

3–6 Weeks

Skin tone continues to even out. Rosacea-related bumps, inflammation, and visible vessels are significantly diminished.

✓ Fewer breakouts and flare-ups
✓ Clearer complexion with reduced redness
✓ Strengthened skin barrier

3–6 Months+

With a complete series of treatments and ongoing skin support, long-term control of rosacea is achievable. Maintenance treatments may be recommended 1–2 times per year.

✓ Long-term redness and vessel reduction
✓ Enhanced skin comfort and resilience
✓ Consistent skin clarity and glow
