Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on which treatment is recommended, the number of areas addressed, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin and provide a personalized treatment plan with pricing. SG Aesthetics offers financing options for patients who prefer to spread the cost over time.
The number of sessions varies based on the severity of redness and vascular involvement. Mild cases may respond in 1–2 sessions. Moderate to significant rosacea typically requires a series of 3–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart. Rosacea is a chronic condition in many patients, and maintenance treatments may be recommended to manage recurrence over time. Your provider will outline a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.
Both Aerolase and IPL target the dilated blood vessels that cause facial redness, but they use different light technologies and have different skin tone suitability profiles. Aerolase uses a focused 1064nm laser wavelength that is safe for a wide range of skin tones, including medium and darker skin. IPL uses broad-spectrum light and is most effective for fair to medium skin tones. Your provider will assess your skin type and recommend the most appropriate option at your consultation.
Laser treatment reduces the visible symptoms of rosacea, particularly persistent redness, flushing, and broken capillaries , but does not eliminate the underlying condition. Rosacea is a chronic condition that can recur with triggers such as sun exposure, heat, and certain foods. Laser treatment can significantly improve the appearance of skin and reduce flare frequency, but ongoing management, sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments are typically part of a long-term plan.
Both Aerolase and IPL are designed to target vascular tissue with minimal disruption to surrounding skin, making them well-tolerated options for most patients with rosacea. Aerolase in particular is known for its low-pain profile and minimal post-treatment reaction. Your provider will review your skin sensitivity, medication history, and any known triggers during your consultation to confirm candidacy and set appropriate expectations.
