Will a combination of chemical peel and laser treatment be effective for rosacea?

If you have true acne rosacea with the white bumps as well as redness then a light chemical peel might be beneficial for the acne component.  For the redness a chemical peel will be of no benefit.  The treatment for the vascular component of acne rosacea is a vascular laser.  Usually either IPL or pulsed dye laser is used.
