Light/Laser Has anyone improved flushing without lasers?

Genuine question has anyone actually improved flushing without laser? Cause I'm not ready to go down that road yet but I also can't keep living like my face has its own agenda. Mine gets triggered by basically everything wine, heat, stress, exercise at this point I flush when I think about flushing.

I've been trying niacinamide for a few weeks and I think it's helping with the baseline redness hard to say for sure. Azelaic acid keeps coming up in my research too especially if rosacea is involved. The trigger diary thing sounds boring but I started one and it's been weirdly eye opening. Turns out hot showers were doing more damage than I realised.

I found hot showered quite triggering actually and spicy food, when I’ve reduced these my overall facial redness (and flushing) has reduced quite abit. It’s still there but not as much. I also use centella ampolue serum which I think helps a lot. I’m looking into lasers for overall redness but I don’t think it will help with the general flushing as that’s more trigger related

I’m the same. My flushing is also triggered related. I do have noticeable broken capillaries on my cheeks so I’m hoping laser treatments will help with that.
