Generally, a laser with a wavelength of 452-577nm is used clinically. When it is irradiated to the nose, the laser The energy is specifically absorbed, the hemoglobin is coagulated, and the red blood cells are destroyed to form microthrombuses, thereby blocking the capillaries, resulting in local hypoxia, the capillaries are destroyed, the microthrombus formed locally increases the temperature and spreads the heat to the endothelial cells, The latter caused irreversible damage, that is, the purpose of treating rosacea was achieved, but the laser was difficult to completely cure and required multiple treatments.

- Scar formation: Due to the high accuracy of the laser, the size and depth of the treatment can be strictly controlled, and scars are generally not left after surgery. However, a few can form residual depression scars, or stimulate the formation of hypertrophic scars. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible after scar formation to reduce the degree of scarring.

- Photon rosacea
- 1) Label: Non-surgical
- 2) Technical principle
- The specific principle of photon therapy for rosacea is that hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin in the blood vessels can absorb light energy and generate heat. When the blood temperature is high enough, coagulation occurs and the blood vessel wall is damaged (the effect of the blood vessel to epidermal heating ratio reaches the maximum Best), thereby destroying the dilated capillaries for the purpose of treating rosacea.
