Asked By:NM575

I have suferd from awful/embarasing rosacea facial redness for 15yrs, also have capilarys on nose/chin. Treatment-Im currently using Metrogel 1%/500mg tetracycline everynite for past 4 months and results have been ok but isnt enough. I have melasma & skin is sensitive to harsh stuf. My last resort is doing laser therapy to either completly remove/much better manage the redness-im @ my wits end. Which IPL or other laser treatment will drasticaly improve redness? How long will results last?
