Rosacea and Keratosis Pilaris on cheeks - will BBL help both?

Thank you for submitting your question. The BBL does have a modality for rosacea than help calm some of the redness as well as correct some of the broken vessels. This will be an ongoing maintenance program. I would suggest visiting with a service provider in your area that would be able to review your skin and product history. Rosacea is an internal condition and can cause inflammation by stress, foods, products and genetics. Treatments are usually done in a combinational approach with treatment, product and lifestyle changes. There has been links that claim the energy produced by the BBL can help calm some KP although I wouldn't solely depend this protocol for correction of KP.  Using washes that contain Glycolic, a resurfacing treatment like a HALO can smooth some of the texture, again this will be ongoing maintenance.

Thank you for your question about Broad Band Light treatments.  BBL will help with your rosacea and redness.  However BBL is not the treatment of choice for texture concerns.  BBL addresses pigment both brown and red.  The Halo treatment or microneedling with PRP will address texture concerns. 

To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

BBL will help rosacea more than KP. KP is harder to treat, shorter PD needed. For added safety, I normally use a PDL or V BEAM for KP. HALO can treat the tenure, but as KP is genetic, it will recur within a few weeks. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane Dermatologist. Australia.
