Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the central face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps.

At Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics in Palmdale, CA, Dr. Katayoun Motlagh and her team offer xeo® by Cutera laser treatment to reduce the signs of rosacea. The clinic provides comprehensive care with personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

Causes and Triggers

Genetic Predisposition: Individuals with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop the condition.

Microbial Factors: Overgrowth of certain skin mites (Demodex folliculorum) and bacteria (such as Staphylococcus epidermidis) can contribute to inflammation.

Immune System: Dysregulation of the immune system plays a significant role, leading to excessive inflammation.

Environmental Triggers: Sun exposure, temperature extremes, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and certain skincare products can trigger or worsen symptoms.

Types of Symptoms

Persistent Redness: Often resembles a blush or sunburn that doesn't go away.

Flushing: Episodes of sudden and intense facial redness.

Papules and Pustules: Small, red bumps (papules) and pus-filled bumps (pustules) that may be mistaken for acne.

Visible Blood Vessels: Telangiectasia, or enlarged blood vessels, visible on the skin.

Thickened Skin: In advanced cases, especially on the nose (rhinophyma).

Ocular Symptoms: Irritation, redness, dryness, and swollen eyelids, known as ocular rosacea.

Xeo® Laser for Rosacea Treatment

Reduction of Redness and Visible Blood Vessels: The targeted laser energy helps to diminish the appearance of persistent redness and broken capillaries, which are common symptoms of rosacea.

Non-Invasive: The procedure is non-invasive and typically involves minimal discomfort, making it a suitable option for patients seeking an effective yet gentle treatment.

Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment, with minimal to no downtime.

Customizable: The xeo laser can be tailored to address individual skin types and conditions, ensuring a personalized treatment approach for each patient

Xeo® Laser Procedure Details

Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser light.

Treatment: The laser handpiece is moved over the targeted areas, delivering pulses of light energy. Patients may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation during the procedure.

Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results.

Expected Results

Immediate Improvement: Many patients notice an immediate reduction in redness and visible blood vessels after the treatment.

Continued Improvement: Over the following weeks, as collagen production increases, you may observe further improvements in skin texture and tone.

Maintenance: Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the results and manage rosacea symptoms effectively.
