Physical modalities for treating acne and rosacea.

Physical modalities for treating acne and rosacea. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2016 Jun;35(2):96-102 Authors: Jalian HR, Levin Y, Wanner M Abstract Physical modalities provide an important adjunct to medical treatment of acne and rosacea. In patients who cannot tolerate or fail medical treatments, physical modalities offer an alternative approach. For cases of acne scarring, phymatous changes of rosacea, and rosacea-associated telangiectasia, physical modalities such as laser and light treatments represent the treatment of choice. We will review the use of laser and light treatments, photodynamic therapy, and other physical modalities such as targeted therapies for the treatment of acne and rosacea.
