Worth It
Spent: $165 in San diego ca

pros: diminishes rosacea redness

cons: expensive, since you need a minimum of 5 treatments. it can get worse before it gets better. (i went in to diminish redness and swelling. first 24 hours i was redder and much more swollen). swelling has not gone down after 3 days). little brown spots appear on your skin and take several weeks to "fall off").

You must be very careful with sun exposure, as the redness will return if you don't use strong sunscreen (which of course you should be using anyway). is not permanent. will need to do this series probably 2x/year.
