Does LED Red Light Therapy work for my flushing rosacea?

Question

Hello, I have a mild persistent erythema and some facial flushing. I have tried all the common solutions (PDL, IPL, bêta blockers, different creams, botox...) sometimes with outcomes, but I still flush. I am looking for a new approach: could LED Red Light Therapy help for my flushing?

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

LED Light Therapy works by triggering the body to convert light energy into cell energy—without heat.
Red light therapy: Activates collagen production to improve the visible signs of aging, to restore glowing, healthy-looking skin. It can also be used to reduce age spots, sun damage, and overall redness, flushing, and dilated capillaries. Red light therapy can also reduce the appearance of bruising and reduce healing time. Results are often immediate.

Hi,I use LED a lot for maintaining treatment outcomes in rosacea. It does help in reducing the sensitivity of the skin, without aggravating the redness. So, it's definitely a part of my treatment protocol. Best,
