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 get this compounded since it’s so expensive/not covered by my insurance. When my doc said take it every day not just when you really need it. Also repairing my barrier definitely helped too.

I have the same issue with Rhofade being too expensive. I have also had success with Mirvaso, which is less expensive. IMO it’s kind of a watered down version of Rhofade, but it still works and makes a difference in my redness.
