PDL for Diffuse Redness and Broken Capillaries on Face. Dublin, OH

I have rosacea - overall redness on my face, with some more pronounced broken capillaries. Several years ago I had PDL done and it worked. I didn't have to wear tons of makeup anymore to cover the redness and capillaries. However, I had major bruising that took two weeks to go away. I am a teacher, though, so I had it done during the summer when I wasn't teaching. Two years after the first treatment, the redness was coming back so I had it done again. Again it caused major bruising that took 2 weeks to go away, but it worked. Last summer (two years after the 2nd treatment) I called to get it done again, but the doctor no longer has that machine. I had to find a new doctor. I went to a board certified plastic surgeon (the first doctor was also a board certified plastic surgeon). This new doctor said that doing the PDL to bruising (purpura) was not necessary. He said he could get rid of the redness without the purpura. I had him perform the treatment and there was no bruising. However, I was going to have to go back for 4 more treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to get rid of the redness. I didn't want to spend that much money ($450 per treatment). Without purpura, treatment was going to cost me 5 times as much as it would if it was done to purpura one time. The non-purpura doctor did not tell me that there was going to have to be 5 treatments until after the first treatment was done. I declined to get any more non-purpura treatments from this doctor, and felt a bit bamboozled by him. So this summer I had to go and find a doctor who 1. Has the v-beam (PDL) laser - a lot of places I called do not even have that laser 2. Would do it to purpura so that I didn't have to have multiple treatments. It was not easy to find a doctor with v-beam and who would do it to purpura. But I finally found one, and today I had the PDL done (to purpura). As you can see by the picture, the bruising (purpura) is severe. The past 2 times I had it done to purpura it took 2 weeks to go away, but like I said, it worked and I didn't have to spend as much. I will come back and update so that others can see the purpura.

Today still look like a horror show. Under my eyes are extremely swollen. Ice helped bring it down. It doesn't really hurt though.

The first pic is of the swelling under my eyes upon waking up.
