Damaged skin after microneedling and laser treatments. How can I fix this?

Question

Over the last 1.5-2 years I've done MN, laser (vbeam and a fractional), and a couple peels. I spaced them out for the textbook amount of time. But I've learned my skin is sensitive and I basically destroyed it. Now, one side of my face easily flushes red though the day. Sometimes it almost feels like a rug burn. I'm confused if I induced rosacea or if its damaged barrier-maybe both. But I feel like I'm literally doing everything possible and babying my skin. No more procedures. HELP??
