Thank you for your question. I found combination treatment often produces better result such as combining Excel V's Laser Genesis with it's KTP 532 or Xeo's Laser genesis with IPL560. However they are limited to individual with skin Type I-III. For darker skin complexion Laser genesis alone is still helpful. In addition, If we further combine these laser with medical treatments for synergy and maintenance, results will even better and longer lasting. Consultation with a dermatologist to have an accurate diagnosis is essential because not all redness is Rosacea. Then find a doctor experienced in Cutera's laser who is familiar with the combination treatment. Good Luck.
Thanks for your question. Rosacea is a chronic condition, like high blood pressure or diabetes, so although treatments can make it look much better, you do need to plan on lifetime management / maintenance to keep this at bay.For skincare, gentle/noninflammatory ingredients are best as well as avoiding an inflammatory diet (just say no to refined carbs/sugars!). A lot of rosacea is tied to inflammation resulting from genetic tendencies to carry a particular strain of bacteria and topical antibiotics such as Metrogel can help reduce this inflammatory/red-stimulating trigger. Careful sun protection/avoidance also helps.Really the gold standard for the redness is Photofacials (BBL). In addition to reducing reds, well performed treatments also reduce sun damage, increase collagen and have been proven in studies at Stanford to slow down skin aging. Count on 2-4 treatments a year as your best management for not only your rosacea, but also to look your best year after year.
