I read mixed information that you can and shouldn't use a hydrofacial when you have rosacea. What is the true answer?

I have rosacea that makes my cheeks red and has caused a thickening of the top layer of skin on my cheeks which bothers me immensely. I have gotten 5 rounds of ellipse laser treatments. I also have surface wrinkles and oily skin. I read mixed information that you can and shouldn't use a hydrofacial when you have rosacea. What is the true answer? And what treatment may help get rid of the thickened skin?
