reduce/remove the awful facial redness like I thot it wud, but has helped sumwhat reduce the 'prickly heat/stinging' sensations; the machine is a Palomar. My skin is sensitive to everything (heat/cold) and was nicely told I'm a dificult case; I'm at my wits end! IPL treatmts are my last resort, Metrogel 1% DID NOT help much; is there ANYTHING ELSE I can do or use-other machines/facial products, etc.-to reduce/remove redness & flushing? Rosacea socialy cripples me, I use heavy concealr EVERY DAY
