Amazed the IPL Treatments Worked for my Rosacea

oats1977

In the past, I had never had any problems with my skin. One day I woke up with what seemed like a terrible rash on my face which ended up being rosacea. I thought it was going to go away on its own but it only got worse. I had tried two different creams for rosacea and they helped at first, but quickly stopped working as my skin became accustomed to it. 

I became extremely depressed and embarrassed about my skin and didn't want to leave the house. I am a nurse who works with the public and throughout my 12 hour shifts I kept splashing cold water on my face in hopes that it would make the redness go away. Dr. Zivich recommended I try IPL laser treatments. Honestly, I was very skeptical that it would help but I was desperate for something to work. 

The treatment was painless and I had very minimal redness afterwards. Within 4 weeks after the 1st treatment I noticed a 50% reduction in redness. After the 2nd treatment, my skin cleared up and the redness was barely noticeable. We did one more treatment just to make sure we got it all and I can no longer see any trace of my rosacea. I am extremely grateful the IPL laser treatments worked. I strongly recommend seeing Dr. Zivich and if you have rosacea, get the IPL laser treatments, it is honestly the only thing that worked for me.
