V Beam on severe rosacea? (Photos)

Question

I have severe rosacea +acne. Now on BP to keep pustules away. I have had 2 sessions with NO improvement. Settings 7.25 joules and 10 msec. I know its kinda low and last time i got 2 rounds. What helps best for broken vessels? Spot size? Adding also pics. They told me that they wont use high settings now as they r afraid to burn me but i think its kinda bs right? +flushing and burning a lot! Simplified skincare, no coffee no sugar no alcohol no spices, lots of veggies and smooties

Our protocol for hyper-erythematous redness uses a combination of lasers and Nanofractional RF to help reduce localized and perfuse hypervascularity in the skin. We begin with an evaluation of the redness and evaluate the cause of the hypervascularity. Treatments with Limelight IPL, Vbeam Perfecta, and Nanofractional RF are then used to reduce the blood vessels and telangiectasia within the skin. Patients benefit from post-treatment application of Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides.

I would talk to them about IPL.  I always tell my patients that redness is a lifelong battle and will require maintenance treatments but I have found that IPL tends to work better for certain types of redness.  Best of luck!
