Rosacea and facial redness are among the most persistent and difficult skin conditions to treat. Often mistaken for acne, sunburn, or irritation, rosacea can cause chronic redness, visible blood vessels, and uncomfortable flare-ups that affect both appearance and confidence. It is especially challenging for those with sensitive or melanin-rich skin who are often excluded from traditional treatment options due to concerns around irritation or pigmentation risks. At Luxe Beauty & Wellness Spa in Mississauga, we offer a safe and effective solution through Aerolase, a state-of-the-art laser that targets facial redness and rosacea symptoms without damaging the skin barrier or triggering unwanted side effects.
Aerolase Neo Elite uses a powerful yet gentle 1064nm wavelength of light energy delivered through a rapid 650-microsecond pulse. This unique combination allows the laser to reach deep into the skin without overheating or irritating the surface. It targets hemoglobin in the blood vessels responsible for redness while simultaneously reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen production. The result is a significant reduction in redness, visible capillaries, and overall sensitivity over a series of treatments. Because of its precision and non-ablative approach, Aerolase is safe for all skin tones including Fitzpatrick types IV to VI, which have traditionally been more vulnerable to laser-induced pigmentation changes.
Rosacea is often classified into different subtypes, including erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, which causes persistent redness and visible blood vessels, and papulopustular rosacea, which mimics acne with bumps and breakouts. Aerolase addresses both by targeting vascular irregularities and calming the underlying inflammation that drives these symptoms. The laser energy causes coagulation within the small vessels near the skin's surface, leading to their gradual collapse and natural elimination by the body. This process reduces visible redness and capillaries without requiring downtime or causing peeling or flaking. It also supports healthier skin by encouraging a more balanced inflammatory response.
For clients with darker or melanin-rich skin, the ability to safely treat rosacea without triggering hyperpigmentation is essential. Traditional treatments such as intense pulsed light and certain ablative lasers can cause more harm than good in ethnic skin. At Luxe Beauty & Wellness Spa, we take these concerns seriously and are proud to offer Aerolase as a solution that prioritizes both safety and efficacy. Our clients often share that this is the first time they’ve received a laser treatment without experiencing irritation or unwanted dark spots afterward.
Rosacea flare-ups are not only uncomfortable but can also be emotionally distressing. Common triggers such as heat, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can cause unpredictable symptoms that interfere with daily life. In some cases, clients with rosacea are misdiagnosed or given topical treatments that only offer short-term relief. Aerolase goes beyond surface-level care by addressing the vascular and inflammatory components that fuel the condition. By shrinking dilated vessels and reducing inflammatory markers, it helps restore calm and stability to the skin over time.
Each Aerolase session at Luxe is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. Most treatments are relatively short and painless. Clients describe the sensation as a warm snap or flick against the skin, but most find it entirely tolerable without the need for numbing cream. Because Aerolase does not ablate the skin or create thermal damage, there is no need to avoid sunlight afterward beyond wearing sunscreen, and no recovery period is needed. This makes it especially suitable for busy professionals and clients who cannot afford days off for healing.
The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of your rosacea and your skin’s individual response to the laser. Most clients begin with a series of three to six treatments spaced three to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. During your consultation at Luxe Beauty & Wellness Spa, we will assess your skin type, history, and symptoms to develop a plan tailored to your goals and comfort level.
What sets Aerolase apart from other treatments is its ability to deliver results while simultaneously improving the overall health and appearance of the skin. In addition to reducing redness and visible veins, clients often notice brighter tone, smoother texture, and fewer breakouts. This is due to Aerolase’s ability to stimulate collagen and kill acne-related bacteria while calming the skin. For individuals who suffer from both rosacea and occasional acne, this dual action can be life-changing. The laser also supports better barrier function, helping the skin retain hydration and resist environmental triggers more effectively over time.
Clients with long histories of topical prescriptions, antibiotics, or steroid creams are often relieved to find a solution that does not involve ongoing medication or the risk of thinning skin. Aerolase is a mechanical and non-invasive approach to managing rosacea, which fits seamlessly into most skincare routines. At Luxe, we may also recommend complementary skincare products that support the laser's effects, such as barrier-strengthening serums, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and proper sun protection.
For melanin-rich skin, Aerolase remains one of the most trusted options available today. Whether you have been turned away from other clinics due to your skin tone or have had negative experiences with past treatments, Luxe Beauty & Wellness Spa provides a welcoming environment where your safety and satisfaction are the top priorities. Our team is trained in multicultural skincare and understands the specific needs of clients with ethnic backgrounds. From the consultation to the final results, we are committed to ensuring your skin receives the care it deserves.
