Rosacea help - has anyone seen this before? (Photo)

Question

I had received ipl treatment for my eyes, optilight. They go over the cheeks and nose along with the eyelids. At the time my rosacea was usee control with a triple cream. Since the ipls my flare is centralizing in my nose. The doctor said it would go away and it hasn’t. I don’t know what to do. Is there anyone here that has seen this before? I’m really concerned bc it burns. It happens mostly at night. I need to find a good dermatologist to help me. My dr has never seen this before. Thank you

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.
