Asked By:Boston5090 in Boston, MA

I’ve been successful in he past in treating my rosacea with IPL. I am searching for a new practice now, and they are trying to sell me OPL or SHR, saying they are superior machines for the problem. The lady with SHR only advertises hair removal on her web site, so I am a little apprehensive. Which machine is the best for treating rosacea? Thanks!
