Advice on pulsed dye laser for keratosis pilaris redness on face? (photos)

Asked By:elisabethwatson in New London, CT

I have keratosis pilaris on both cheeks with much redness, I want to have a procedure to get rid of the redness, and have come to believe pulsed dye laser is best for this? However I’ve seen that it leaves red bruises on your face for a while after the treatment? If so how long do these last and are they easy to cover up with foundation? Also on average how much does this cost?
