I never had this issue until around 6 years ago, which I believe was caused by a few chemical peels I had done that eventually made my face sensitive and later started seeing the on and off red/pink flare ups The RX creams don't help at all but I do use natural oils to assist. I'm wondering between IPV and other mild lasers, which is more ideal for faster and longer results with less time in between treatment and that doesn't make your face all burned up for weeks to come.
Answer: Rosacea -- ProYellow Laser, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V ; combine with clear + brilliant and microneedling oral isotretinoin helps a lot but lasers are best with or without that. please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recommend doing Vbeam laser treatments to defuse the redness Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Treating Rosacea with Intense Pulse Light Therapy Your questions are good ones! Not rashes or redness are alike and often there might me more than one condition occurring. For that reason, patients with Rosacea are recommended to follow up anytime there might be an unexpected flare or failure to resolve. Often self-prescribed topicals and products can exacerbate the redness but not necessarily be a Rosacea trigger.Through the years , we find the laser/ light -based devices that target the vascularity will best reduce the signs of Rosacea , Most often , IPL lasers such as the Limelight laser , can easily and effectively treat the small broken veins and even acne-like flares. Staying on a regimen that works until no further outbreaks occur for at least 3 months is our best advise!

Answer: Seb derm and rosacea I think an examination and further history is needed to call this one. I think you have two common conditions, seb derm ( well demarcated redness) and rosacea- pimples and pustules. Rosacea is very complex and a tailored treatment program give the best results. This is because there are many types of rosacea (telengtctatic or capillaries, flushing and redness, acne like rosacea, ocular rosacea and even rhinophyma rosacea.) To add to the complexity, everyone has different flare factors- Sunlight, stress, foods, chemical irritants, creams, changes in temperature, alcohol. The list goes on. A detailed history, together with a treatment tailored according to YOUR type of rosacea will give the best results. As a guide, we use a combination of - 1. Lasers ( to treat redness, broken capillaries, rhinophyma, flushing)- best laser is the V BEAM. IPL can be used, but usually not as effective 2. Creams - anti inflammatory 3. Tablets -anti - inflammatory and sometimes low dose Vitamin A. 4. For females- Mineral make up is recommend, over make up that contains parabens. For the best results, consult a dermatologist for both medical and laser treatment options. Kind regards Dr Davin S. Lim Laser Dermatologist Brisbane, Australia.
