Active FX - Recovery and Rosacea?

sara00
I am a 46-year old, fair-skinned female, and because of constant maintenance, sunscreen and regular derm treatments, my skin is in fairly good condition for my age. I have had 2 different doctors recommend Active FX to treat wrinkles, scarring and tighten skin. I have done research and am pretty sold on the procedure, but I have 2 major concerns - How long is downtime REALLY? How long before you can be seen in public? And 2) I have mild rosacea - how will Active FX affect that? Thank you,
