Hi, I've had two treatments with an IPL laser and so far I think the results have been absolute garbage. I am incredibly disappointed and was wondering if I would have any more success with PDL. My rosacea has made me more self-conscious and been a real problem for me. Also, other than PDL are there any other treatments for the long-term prevention of rosacea? Thanks.

Answer: PDL versus IPL for rosacea There are some medications that can help to treat rosacea. A dermatologist should be able to help you with that. In regards to laser treatment, I think that PDL works much better than IPL for treating redness, including rosacea. Even with PDL though, sometimes more than one treatment session may be needed to get the best result.

Answer: Pulsed Dye Laser vs IPL Facial redness can be a challenge to treat. Both Pulse Dye Laser (PDL) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can help. In our experience, deeper stubborn erythema (redness) tends to respond best to PDL. Vigilant sunscreen, azelaic acid, topical vasoconstricting agents (Rhofade and Mirvaso) can also improve facial redness. I recommend that you see a dermatologist for further assessment.
