Frequently Asked Questions

What rosacea treatments do you provide at Nitai?

Nitai lists a combination approach: Elite iQ laser treatments (vascular targeting), Potenza RF microneedling, Vivace (RF + microneedling + serum), gentle lactic chemical peels, and supporting topical serums like Biopelle Tensage Growth Factor Daily Serum. These are offered as part of a personalised treatment plan.

Detailed consultations alows us to understand your skin concerns, conduct detailed skin assessment, and suggest the most suitable approach to treat your condition.

What is Elite iQ and how does it help rosacea?

Elite iQ is a professional laser platform that targets dilated facial blood vessels and persistent redness. By delivering controlled energy to vascular structures it reduces visible redness and improves evenness of skin tone. Many clinics use it specifically for the vascular component of rosacea.

Are chemical peels safe for rosacea?

Gentle, hydrating peels such as lactic acid peels can be helpful when selected and performed by experienced clinicians, because harsher peels can irritate rosacea-prone skin. Nitai highlights a gentle lactic peel option aimed at calming and hydrating sensitive skin.

How do microneedling + RF treatments (Potenza, Vivace) help rosacea?

RF-microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. This can reduce redness over time, decrease skin sensitivity, and improve overall skin resilience. It is helpful for some patients when used carefully.

Do lasers or IPL actually work for rosacea?

Yes. IPL/laser platforms commonly reduce facial erythema and visible blood vessels. Systematic reviews show benefit, though study quality varies and results depend on device, settings, clinician skill and patient skin type. Multiple treatments are usually required.

How many treatments will I need?

For vascular laser/IPL-type treatments, many patients require a series—commonly 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart—followed by maintenance as needed. Microneedling/RF and peels follow different schedules. A personalised consultation at Nitai will define the exact plan.

When will I see results?

Vascular lasers/IPL often show gradual improvement over weeks after a session, with best results after multiple treatments. Topical prescription treatments can take 2–6 weeks (sometimes longer) to show improvement. Individual response varies.

Is there downtime or side effects?

Most laser and RF procedures have minimal downtime: short-lived redness, swelling, or sensitivity are common and usually resolve in days. Peels can cause temporary dryness or flaking. Rarely, there can be bruising, pigment changes or flare-ups—especially if inappropriate settings are used for your skin type. Nitai lists mild/transient redness and sensitivity as typical short-term effects.

Can the treatments make my rosacea worse?

If performed incorrectly (too aggressive energy or inappropriate device for skin tone), treatments like IPL/laser can irritate or cause pigment changes. That’s why assessment by experienced clinicians and conservative testing is important. Some case reports describe IPL-aggravated rosacea, though most research shows benefit when used properly.

Am I a candidate if I have darker skin?

People with darker skin tones have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with some light-based treatments. Devices, settings and pre/post care must be chosen carefully—or alternative approaches preferred. A face-to-face consultation and assessment will determine suitability.

Can I get treated while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Many clinicians avoid elective laser or medical aesthetic procedures during pregnancy; some topical prescription agents are also contraindicated. Tell the clinician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding so they can recommend safe options. (Nitai’s consultation will include medical history.)

What should I do before treatment?

Typical pre-treatment advice includes avoiding recent tanning, stopping irritant topicals (retinoids, strong acids) for a specified period, and disclosing all medications and medical history. Your clinician will provide a tailored pre-care plan.

What aftercare is needed?

Use gentle skincare, avoid direct sun, and use sunscreen daily. Nitai recommends sun protection and has post-treatment advice; follow their clinician’s directions on moisturisers, serums (e.g., growth-factor serums) and when to resume other topicals.

Will rosacea come back after treatment?

Rosacea is chronic; treatments often control and reduce symptoms but do not “cure” the condition. Maintenance sessions, trigger management and ongoing skincare are usually necessary for long-term control.

Can treatments be combined?

Yes, a combined approach (e.g., vascular laser + gentle skincare + symptom-control topical agents) can be more effective than a single treatment. Nitai promotes a personalised, multi-modal approach to address both vascular and inflammatory elements.

How much does treatment cost?

Costs vary by device, number of sessions and the exact plan. Nitai’s page lists offers various treatments suitble for every skin type. Call or book a consultation for a tailored quote.

What happens at my first consultation?

Expect a clinical assessment of your skin type, rosacea subtype and triggers, a discussion of medical history and prior treatments, photography, and a personalised treatment plan with expected sessions, risks and costs.

Can I use make-up after treatment?

Often yes, gentle, mineral or camouflage makeup can be used once the clinician says it’s safe (sometimes 24–48 hours after mild procedures). Follow the clinic’s specific advice.

Will treatment remove visible blood vessels?

Vascular lasers and some IPL protocols are specifically effective at reducing visible telangiectasia over multiple sessions. Results vary and some tiny vessels may need several treatments.
