Combat rosacea redness without triggering melasma? (Photo)

Question

I'm looking to treat my redness caused by rosacea however I also have melasma which I don't want to trigger. My melasma is maintained well and not a bother so not looking to treat it but rather avoid triggering it while attempting to fix my redness. I've heard IPL and heat based lasers for redness could be a trigger. Thank you

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.
