Abstract
Rosacea is a common skin disease clinically characterized by skin flushing, persistent erythema, papules/pustules and telangiectasia. Laser therapy is an ideal option for the treatment of rosacea-associated telangiectasia and rhinophyma. The most commonly used lasers include 585-/595-nm pulsed dye lasers, long-pulsed 1 064-nm neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser, fractional laser, and so on. Intense pulsed light and pulsed dye laser have shown favorable therapeutic effects on rosacea-associated erythema and telangiectasia with high safety and short downtime. Long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser can only be used to target wide blood vessels and to treat resistant telangiectasia. CO2 laser, Er:YAG laser and fractional laser can be used to improve rhinophyma. In clinic, combined treatment using multiple lasers may result in better therapeutic outcomes. Key words: Rhinophyma; Lasers; Lasers, dye; Therapeutic uses; Intense pulsed light
