IPL or Accutane for Rosacea, which should I try first? (Photo)

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, Clear + Brilliant), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I suggest you follow up with your provider. Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist. Best of luck.

It is always difficult to make a recommendation just looking at pictures, but IPL, in my experience, is the best treatment for Rosacea. I would not use Accutane. You should consult with an experienced physician with years of expertise in laser technology. Also do not underestimate the role of diet and possible food allergies as a trigger for Rosacea.

Hi,I would highly suggest that you get another opinion.  New onset facial rashes can be more than just rosacea.  You need a workup.  I would not recomend accutane. Please seek out a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.Dr. Malouf
