Real Results: Breaking the Skincare Product Cycle

Dr. Moore shares the story of a patient who spent nearly five years and hundreds of dollars trying to correct facial redness with skincare products. She had type 1 rosacea but believed she simply had sensitive skin or adult acne.

The breakthrough came when Dr. Moore explained that her redness was caused by dilated blood vessels located deep in the dermis well beyond the reach of any topical skincare product. Her treatment plan included three VBeam sessions followed by a light chemical peel to improve texture.

The results were transformative. After her second treatment, the patient was able to stop wearing heavy foundation for the first time in years. By the end of her third session, the visible veins around her nose had disappeared and her chronic flushing had significantly improved.

“She realized that while she had been spending money on temporary topical solutions, the laser treatment addressed the root cause of her redness,” Dr. Moore noted. It’s a common revelation for rosacea patients who’ve been cycling through products without understanding that their condition requires vascular treatment, not just topical care.
