Rosacea is a frequent dermatological condition, with a chronic and disturbing evolution that is characterized by redness, permanent erythema associated with telangiectasia (visible and permanent dilatation of the small vessels). It frequently affects men and women with fair skin and can have significant psycho-emotional consequences. To counteract the unaesthetic appearance of redness and eliminate telangiectasia, the use of the laser is proposed to the patient. This study is a single center prospective, randomized, controlled split face study to compare 532nm KTP laser versus 585 nm PLV Laser in terms of improvement of the symptoms in the treatment of Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea 20 subjects will receive up to 3 laser treatments at day 0, month 2 and 4 and will be followed at month 6 and 12.
Adult male and female subjects 18 years of age or older will participate in the study after the objectives, methods, and potential risks of the study have been explained, and after they have signed the informed consent form. Patients will come to the investigation center for a maximum of 6 visits.

Degree of improvement in Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea
Measured, for each treatment arm, based on blinded physician assessment of subject photographs using the 7 points Telangiectasia Grading Score. (-1 = Aggravation of telangiectasia, 0 = no change, 1 = poor improvement (\<25% decrease), 2 = intermediate improvement (25-50% decrease), 3 significant improvement (50-75% decrease), 4 = very significant improvement (75-99% decrease), 5 = complete improvement (100% decrease)
