How Pro Yellow Laser Treatment Can Target Rosacea Skin

If you’re concerned about rosacea, flushing, and redness, you may have heard about pro yellow laser treatment. These conditions are often challenging to treat. And this is because there isn’t a clear cause for rosacea. For some people, certain triggers like spicy food may be the cause, while for others, it may be overactive blood vessels. 

Pro Yellow Laser is now being used to treat rosacea skin gently to help calm the skin with minimal downtime. 

What Is The Pro Yellow Laser Treatment? 

The Pro Yellow Laser treatment emits a yellow light onto your skin at a wavelength of 577 nanometres. This light is then absorbed by the haemoglobin in your skin, allowing it to target the tiny blood vessels which are responsible for causing redness in the skin. 

Unlike older lasers, this yellow light does not damage any surrounding tissue, meaning there is little to no downtime and long-lasting results. 

What’s Rosacea Caused By?

Rosacea affects millions of people in the UK. The skin condition causes redness, visible capillaries, and flushing. Persistent redness of the skin is often a result of repeated flushing, and skin products like creams don’t work deep enough to help calm the vascular network underneath the skin.

The exact cause of rosacea skin is unknown, but it could be due to the following:

• Genetics. 
• Stress. 
• Overactive immune system. 
• Inflammation. 
• Possible overgrowth of Demodex skin mites. 

Why Does 577nm Matter? 

577nm is proven to be the most effective wavelength for haemoglobin absorption, which means the treatment is gentler on your skin, making it ideal for people with inflamed skin suffering from rosacea. 

Older lasers often used wavelengths such as 585nm, meaning more sessions were required, often leaving more swelling and redness and increasing recovery time. 

How Pro Yellow Laser Works For Rosacea 

When the Pro Yellow Laser is applied to the skin, it shrinks the targeted blood vessels in the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. 

The body then naturally absorbs the treated vessels, which leads to a reduction in redness and broken veins in the face. Results are noticeable even after one session, resulting in a calmer complexion.

Other Conditions Pro Yellow Laser Treats 

Pro Yellow Laser treatment is also used to treat other skin conditions, such as –

• Spider veins.
• Flushing.
• Red acne scars.
• Sun damage.
• Pigmentation. 

Downtime & Results Of Yellow Laser Treatment 

One of the great advantages of Pro Yellow Laser treatment is the minimal downtime. The treatment only takes from 30 minutes to an hour, and you might experience some redness for a few hours after treatment, which is normal. 

It’s recommended to have anywhere from 2 to 4 sessions, depending on how your skin reacts to the treatment. To check out some before-and-afters, you can see our clients’ pictures here from our Pro Yellow Laser treatment at Hannah London. 

Aftercare For Yellow Laser Treatment 

You will just need to follow a simple aftercare routine after your Pro Yellow Laser treatment. We recommend the following –

• Keep skin hydrated with moisturiser.
• Wear SPF 30 daily.
• Avoid harsh retinol products for at least 5 days after.
• Avoid hot showers, harsh sun, or saunas for 2 days.

Yellow Laser Vs Other Rosacea Treatments 

Traditional rosacea treatments typically consist of creams, intense pulsed light, antibiotics, micro needling, chemical peels, Botox, and polynucleotides. 

Some of these treatments only manage the symptoms of rosacea rather than the actual cause of it. Skincare only tends to calm redness temporarily, while laser treatment goes deeper to reduce redness, giving long-term results.

IPL in particular uses a broad-spectrum light rather than a targeted wavelength to treat rosacea, which makes the chances of irritation higher since it is less precise. 

Some of these treatments, combined with the Pro Laser Yellow treatment, are a great way to treat rosacea. For example, Pro Yellow laser treatment can help treat the cause of redness, while microneedling can improve texture, especially in cases of acne scarring.
