Laser treatment of rosacea and surface capillaries

I have rosacea and surface capillaries, as well as thin, translucent skin. I'm thinking of having Pixel Laser treatments, but I'd like to know first, what Fitzpatrick skin types are recommended for Pixel Laser?

For the problems you are describing (rosacea and vessels), Intense Pulsed Light treatments are (in my opinion) the gold standard. These can be performed in your doctor's office quickly and comfortably, and with little to no "down-time".
