Rosacea, Redness & Sun Spot Treatment, Performed by a Board-Certified Dermatologist
Persistent redness, visible vessels, and sun spots often need a targeted approach rather than a generic one. At Grace Dermatology, Dr. Lina Kennedy uses the excel V+ laser to treat these concerns directly, with the precision of a dermatologist's training behind every setting.
Why See a Dermatologist for Vascular and Pigment Concerns
Redness and pigment can come from several different underlying causes, and treating the wrong one gets you nowhere. Dr. Kennedy's diagnostic background means your treatment plan starts with understanding what's actually happening in your skin.

Your Experience at Grace Dermatology
Consultation
We look at what is actually causing the redness or pigment, since vessels, background flushing, and brown spots each respond to different settings. From there we decide which mode of the excel V+ fits and how many sessions to plan for.
Treatment
Most sessions take about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area. Vascular treatment feels like a quick snap with a cooling burst; Laser Genesis feels like gentle warmth. No numbing is needed for most patients.
Results
Expect some redness or mild swelling for a day or two, and treated vessels may darken before they fade. Most concerns need a series of two to four sessions, with gradual improvement between visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most patients have some redness and mild swelling for a day or two, similar to a light sunburn. Treated vessels often look darker before they fade over the following one to two weeks. Laser Genesis has essentially no downtime. Makeup can usually be worn the next day.
-
Most concerns take a series of two to four sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The number depends on what is being treated and how your skin responds, which we determine at your consultation.
-
No. Rosacea is a chronic condition, so the goal is control rather than cure. Laser treatment reduces visible redness and vessels well, and most patients maintain their results with occasional touch-ups alongside skincare and trigger management.
-
Vascular and pigment lasers carry more risk on deeper skin tones, which is exactly why settings matter. Dr. Kennedy selects the wavelength and parameters based on your skin type, and will tell you directly if excel V+ is not the right choice for your skin.

Grace Dermatology offers flexible payment and financing options, including CareCredit, so a treatment plan can fit your budget without compromising on who's providing your care. Pricing is discussed and customized during your consultation.
