To get the best skin health and deal with conditions like Rosacea, Spider Veins, and Sunspots, here are several things to remember:

• Avoid triggers to these conditions.

The most common trigger to these conditions on the face is flushing. Flushing happens when people do activities that might get them hot, like too much sun exposure, eating spicy foods, or drinking alcohol frequently. While avoiding these triggers may not be enough to completely avoid skin discoloration, it does lessen the frequency of outbreaks.

• Treatment is continuous.

There’s no way to permanently get rid of skin discoloration caused by conditions like Rosacea, sunspots, or spider veins. This requires several treatments, and the full effects may be visible only after doing multiple treatments. Maintenance is important to keep them controlled as they often recur easily.

• Inform the clinic of present medications before the scheduled treatment.

Certain topical creams (retinols) and medications (Accutane, antibiotics and some others) do not work well with a skin discoloration treatment like IPL laser facials or LaseMD Ultra. These make the skin extra sensitive, so using them prior to treatment may cause further damage. In addition, it’s best to avoid drugs that increase bleeding like some anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin.

• Many treatments make your skin more sensitive to the sun.  IPL (Intense Pulsed Laser) especially so.  This should be avoided in the summer months or significant care is needed. LaseMD Ultra requires some extra attention to sun protection in the week following treatment but is otherwise safe to use year round!!  We have multiple other mild options that are also safe year round for your skin care needs.
