“I have rosacea and went to get a photofacial & microdermabrasion (30 y/o male)”
Microdermabrasion: Undecided
Cost: $1,700
Pain: Uncomfortable
Review of Microdermabrasion:Pain: Uncomfortable
Microdermabrasion satisfaction: Poor
I purchased a package of 5 photofacials and 5 microdermabrasions. I am a male age 30 with rosacea.
i did it to treat rosacea, i wanted to get rid of rosacea acne as well as minimize blushing. I cant work like this so not sure if it is worth it at this point.
After the dermabrasion my face puffed up and was very red, two weeks later I went in for the photofacial. That was thursday and now it is sunday, my face is a type of red ive yet to experience. It feel tight and sunburnt.

you should never ever do microderm if you have rosacea,it can lead to severe irritation and broken blood vessels. photofacials are great to treat rosacea but not with microdermabrasion.
