Pulsed Dye Laser Treatments

Hi Fussy. Your practitioners should have pointed you to pulsed dye laser treatments such as the Cynosure V-star or the Candela V-Beam. IPL and BBL treatments are a much inferior technology when it comes to treating Rosacea. If you have moderate to sever Rosacea, you may need bruising treatments to make progress. Ask your practitioner about this type of treatment. Good luck.
