I have had rosacea for 20 years and have tried every medication and treatment for it during that time. We moved to Colorado almost 2 years ago and the intense sun out here sent it right into major flaring pretty constantly, despite being on oral medication and using a topical medication. My wonderful dermatologist out here, Dr. Michael Contreras, with About Skin Dermatology in Lone Tree, CO suggested some Cynergy laser treatments. I was skeptical as I had had some laser treatments back in Virginia that didn't only not seem to help, but I thought they made it worse. He convinced me to try them and I am so very glad I did. I did four initial treatments beginning last summer about a month apart and just completed the first maintenance treatment 3 weeks ago. I will be doing one treatment every 6 months. What a difference in my skin!!! No more redness and flushing and even the burning and stinging have gone away. My skin looks great and I'm even getting compliments on it. I am also using Oracea and a topical called Aczone in conjunction with the laser and I believe my skin looks the best it has in a very long time. Thank you, Dr. Contreras. This is a wonderful dermatology office!
