I have been struggling with rosacea. I have used lasers in the past to treat it and some treatments have left me with more permanent red spots and bumps. I've recently had 4 PDL treatments. At first it seemed to be helping with lessening the flushing. After the last two treatments I've been left with more small blood vessels, a few more red dots that are bumps that do not go away. I'm desperate to find something that works. What might work best for me?

Thank you for your question. Certain lasers and chemical peel techniques can isolate a few freckles. It is best that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.Best wishes,
A combination of lasers, peels, skincare possible medical tattooing can help but will need a series of long term treatments for best results. Also fillers like Restylane Silk or Belotero can help as well to slightly plump the skin and make it look more pink. See the link provided that takes you...
