Dr. Stefanie Christian, M.D. offers non-invasive and minimally-invasive skin care procedures including laser skin care and injectables, that improve skin texture, pigment, and tone. These treatments require little to no downtime and visibly and measurably improve the quality of the skin without scars.
Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a common but little-known disorder of the facial skin that affects an estimated 14 million Americans.

Common symptoms include:
Diffuse redness and enlarged pores on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead
Small visible blood vessels on the cheeks, nose and chin
Pimples or pustules on the face
Because of its red-faced, acne-like appearance, rosacea can cause significant psychological, social and occupational challenges if left untreated.
While the cause of rosacea is unknown and there is no cure, Dr. Christian’s approach to the treatment of Rosacea offers patients a unique opportunity for success. She uses a combination of laser and light-based treatments as well as antibiotics and careful avoidance of dietary and environmental triggers. The most common treatment plan for rosacea patients combines several modalities of light based skin treatments: IPL, Laser Genesis, and Laser Vascular Therapy. Together, IPL and Laser Genesis shrink enlarged pores and reduce redness. Laser Vascular Therapy removes specific visible vessels.
