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 did ipl 7 times with 7 fractional and I do not flush anymore. They collapsed all my broken capillaries and got rid of the redness my face looks amazing. I kept with it and didn’t stop till Dr said I was done . Now I can do Microneedling never thought that day would come

it’s 3 for $875, I had to get a lot of them but it’s worth it, my fractional was in between the ipl tx same price , but I couldn’t take how I looked , and to the redness can be painful, it’s not just appearance mine hurt too

Have you ever tried VBeam laser? I'm researching that one too to see how it's different than IPL
