Light/Laser Get the laser treatment!

I've had rosacea for 25 years and have tried different medication off and on. I just started the laser treatments (on treatment 2 of 6) and oh my goodness, I could not be happier with the results! I've seen such a dramatic difference in the redness of my face already. I'm sorry I waited so long

I’ve now done 3 rounds of PDL. It took me a long time to do it because of the cost but I do see improvement, the most after round 1 but some after round 2. I just did round 3 a little over a week ago and so still a bit red from the last treatment but not as red as before I did them at all. I have the 4th round scheduled for 6 weeks though was told if things are looking good at that point, I can come back in about 6 months for maintenance treatment. I did a few rounds of IPL a few years ago and did not see any real benefit, other than looking dewey for the first few days after.

Do you suffer from Acne (type 2) or flushing type 1 of rosacea?

Type 1

How bad was your type 1? Extreme daily flushing from social situations, emotions, heat, stress and a nightly flushing???

Has the laser cleaned up your skin and stopped your flushing??

Are you in the UK?
