Lasers for rosacea / telangiectasia? Tried KTP and VBeam pulsed dye.

telangie
Is there a different laser that will work for telangiectasia? I have visible blood vessels, not just diffuse redness. I've tried VBeam pulsed dye, which caused severe purpura but did not improve the telangiectasia at all. Also tried 4 treatments of KTP (with a different doctor), which also made NO improvement. Is there some other laser that might actually work? It's so frustrating because everyone says lasers can just zap it away.
