Your thoughts on LED therapy vs. IPL for rosacea?

kacltennis
I purchased a red LED light to treat inflammation and redness from Rosacea and it helped calm my burning and stinging but it hasn’t done much for the blotchy redness on my cheeks and chin. I am scheduled for my first IPL but am nervous about side effects after reading bad reviews on this website. I’m wondering if LED is a less invasive/risky way to combat the symptoms of Rosacea over time? How does LED compare to IPL for redness/flushing? LED seems to have no risks whereas IPL does.
