Risks involved with IPL laser treatments for rosacea?

loshinn7
I've read that many people have experienced severe complications because of IPL laser treatments. Orange peel skin, and terrible scarring to name a few. I also noticed that many of these posts and stories were from 2010-2012. Have they worked out the kinks as of late? Are these issues rare occurrences? I'm scheduled to get my first IPL treatment in a week, and am wondering if I should cancel ASAP. Note:my treatment will be for rosacea.
