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 Lancaster, 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.

How does the BeautiFill treatment work?

The BeautiFill procedure uses laser energy under the skin to gently loosen fat from problem areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks, and thighs. The live harvested fat cells are then injected into areas where volume has been lost, including many facial areas and certain areas of the body such as the buttocks.
What's the difference between BeautiFill versus other fat transfer procedures?

The crucial difference between BeautiFill and other fat transfer methods is how the fat is harvested. Other fat harvesting methods were intended to destroy and/or discard fat, nor preserve it for reimplantation. BeautiFill uses a proprietary laser instrument designed to extract the highest quantity and quality of live fat cells for reimplantation. In a clinical study, the fat harvested patients reported greater than 90% fat cell viability. The higher percentage of live cells, the higher chance for cell survival following reimplantation.
How many treatments will I need?

The transfer of fat cells can be performed in one treatment, and you can expect to see an immediate difference right away. Most patients see an improvement that lasts for years.
Is the BeautiFill treatment painful?

Not at all! This outpatient procedure is performed under local anesthetics, which eliminates the risks that are associated with using general anesthesia. Additionally, the BeautiFill laser's energy provides the added benefit of less bruising and swelling that's often seen with other fat harvesting methods.
How long will the treatment take?

This will depend on the amount of volume you seek to remove and restore. Speak with your BeautiFill provider to personalize the procedure to your expectation.
Will I need to take time off from work after my BeautiFill treatment?

That depends on the volume you seek to remove and restore. For smaller cases, such as full-face volumization, patients may experience a mild degree of swelling, bruising, and soreness for 24-48 hours. None of this should prevent you from resuming daily activities the next day if desired.
