Persistent redness and broken blood vessels (telangiectases) are the hallmarks of rosacea. With repeated flushing and blushing, the vessels eventually stay dilated. Topical and oral antibiotics may be quite helpful against this aspect of rosacea. Telangiectases can be treated by laser, electrocautery (a specialized machine to lightly burn the vessels), or with the Harmony Advanced Fluorescent Technology, including Photodynamic Therapy. Topical vitamin K creams and gels have been developed to reduce redness.
