Will doing IPL with radio frequency be detrimental to rosacea treatment: redness, hyperpigmentation?

Hi rjerks,Thanks for your question. The most sophisticated approach to treating rosacea with IPL is in fact Broad band Light by Sciton. It is one of the vascular lasers that has a long history of success ,worldwide and at our clinic, to treat redness, rosacea, facial veins..etc. However, a laser does not give you results. A physician using the proper parameters and personalizing the treatment specifically to your skin concerns and skin condition is what is going to give you positive outcomes. Research a physician who can show you before and after photos of her/his own patients. Best of luck, Manish Khanna MD, FRCPC

IPL is probably the gold standard for rosacea along with a good skin care regimen that includes sun protection.  This treatment in my experience works better than any oral medication or topicals alone.  Keep in mind this is a chronic condition requiring chronic maintenance for pronlonged results.
It may be combined with sublative radiofrequency for acne scars or reduction of large pores.
