Combat rosacea redness without triggering melasma? (Photo)

drebeirnFeb 22, 2023
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
