IPL for rosacea?

Charming937731
Really interested in trying IPL for rosacea next year but very worried in things going wrong and the possibility of making it worse. Does IPL really help with the redness and burning/flushing ? there's very mixed reviews on this and that is after 3-4 IPL sessions. I've been on a low dose isotretinoin for just over 2 months now and theres no real improvement, it's worse now than when i started. does IPL help with the inflammatory ? I suffer from redness and flushing, rash type marks.
