If you have significant facial redness from rosacea, microdermabrasion treatments may exacerbate this. I have found that IPL PhotoFacial treatments are best for reducing facial redness from rosacea. I hope this is helpful for you.
Rosacea skin is in a hyperactive, sensitive state. The blood vessels are like switches ready to pull; they will easily dilate and release their fluid. Microdermabasion can activate these vessels and cause a flaring of your rosacea. I have seen two cases in which microdermabrasion was unfortunately given and a bad flare resulted. One case developed into what we call Rosacea Fulminans. This is a severe flare of Rosacea in which nodules and cysts predominate. IPL in the green wavelength would be far a more prudent choice.
