I'm still pinkish, like I was with the rosacea. But it can be covered up with make up. We will see how long it takes for this pinkishness to fade.

Hi has your pinkness faded yet? I have had 3 treatments done but the improvement is only like 20% and it's only my nose were the pinkiness is.

Are you happy with the results? Is the persistent redness gone? Any recent pictures?

Well done for documenting your journey! I have had a test patch on one cheek and am freaking out that it won't fade. Yours has faded nicely

Hello, I had the treatment done 5 days ago. I recognize me in your story.What was the final result of your treatment? Do you have picures of about a month after the treatment?

No, I'm not satisfied. There are remnants of redness. However, when my other doctor did it (3 different times) there wasn't any residual redness and I got a very good result. That doctor was a board-certified plastic surgeon, while this latest one was a dermatologist. Now I am using Makeup Artists Choice peels to try and get rid of the residual redness. The peels work because this redness is post hyperpigmentation (marks on the surface of the skin) instead of broken capillaries. So I guess the moral of the story is that it does matter who is doing the procedure. My first doctor no longer has the laser (pulse dye) he used for me.

I still have red circles on my face but they are light and I can mostly cover them up with makeup. Here is a picture with no makeup. Don't laugh at my hair.

What were the settings they used on the system and what system? I am having mine done tomorrow and when they did it last it worked for a year, but it was only 3 days of down time and it was not this pronounced with circles.
