IPL or v-beam for facial redness, rosacea? Which is more cost effective and longer lasting?

Mikvahnrose
I'm 20, have suffered from facial redness starting in mid teens, like 14? The dermatologist just said that it's hormones and should go away, well never did and just got worse actually. My face is just red, always. You can see very faint veins that contributes to the redness on my upper cheeks. And right lower cheek. Makeup helps me, but I don't like wearing makeup and would like to be able to go to the store and not have to put on a face. So I'm looking into ipl and v-beams. What is your take?
