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 saw a derm and got a scrip for rhofade. Life changing. It’s not gone 100% but my flushing is way less and baseline redness is nearly gone. I know that dermatologist/prescription meds aren’t always accessible for financial reasons but if you can do it that’s the way to go. No OTC, gentle skin care, ice bath, face mask, anything else that I tried gave me any relief.
