Answer: Clear Skin After Rosacea This can be treated with isotretinoin, pulsed dye laser treatments and salicylic acid peels. I suggest you see a well trained cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in lasers, scaring and acne/rosacea. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recommend doing a combination of Vbeam laser and LaseMD treatments Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Acne Rosacea Hi ESLK. In the past, we have been successful with pulsed dye lasers for acne Rosacea. Unfortunately, IPL is not a laser and does not have the same capability as a pulsed dye. If you are not interested in the medication route, this would be where we would direct you. See the photos of other Los Angeles patients at the link below that we have treated for Rosacea and acne Rosacea with pulsed dye lasers.

Answer: Rosacea It appears you have a severe form of cystic acne and you should not take isotretinoin because you have ulcerative colitis. There are many very good treatments and you should see a board certified dermatologist for help
