Thank you foryour question pers0. I understand your concern. IPL is a greattreatment for facial rejuvenation. It also works well for rosacea. Two of the most common forms are erythematotelangiactatic rosacea (characterized by redness and flushing) and papulopustular rosacea (characterized by bumps that look like acne pimples). I find that IPL works well for both of these types of rosacea. However a series of treatments is required. For my patients I recommend an initial series of 6 monthly treatments. Since rosacea is a condition that we control, not cure, I recommend one maintenance treatments every 3 months thereafter. Please consultwith a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Hello and thank you for your question.There is no known cause nor cure for rosacea, but it is treatable. Long-term treatment options include Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, which involves the use of a device that generates high-intensity pulses of light at a prescribed duration, intensity and spectral distribution. In contrast to lasers, which use only one wavelength of light, IPL uses many wavelengths of light. Another long-term treatment option available at Laser Cliniqúe is Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), which involves applying photosensitive drugs to the skin and using a light or laser to activate the drug. PDT is used to treat sun damaged skin or skin conditions such as inflammatory acne or rosacea. Rosacea patients may also need to modify their skin care and lifestyle routine to avoid potential flareups of the disease.My advice is to first schedule a consultation with an experienced physician. Best of luck to you!

IPL is not a laser, its light that treats in sections, hence it does NOT allow for a blend. Good machines like Lumenis, Scition etc... deliver consistent energy levels, and great IPL technicians know how to space the treatment areas so ' skip' segments don't occur. The fix? 1. Wait a few weeks, ...
