Yes: Photofacial and laser treatments can destroy the little capillaries on the face and hence reduce the redness from rosacea.

The extent to which benefits are seen will vary from patient to patient and a thorough consultation with an experienced care provider will help give you some good guidance. Be sure to review before and after pictures and reviews prior to consenting to any treatments.
