I got the procedure to help with my frequent rosacea flare ups... I wish I would have just continued covering them with make up

I don't think it's possible to age this much within a couple of months. I was told the procedure would help with my rosacea and veins. I don't think anyone deserves to develop problems they weren't told could happen.

Now there is a lot wrong. I have worse rosacea, blepharitis, I lost all of my facial fat, my eyes have sunk in, and Im now losing the layer of fat on top of my hands and feet. I wanted to get rid of my veins and rosacea without the long term use of antibiotics. Now Im stuck with a host of medical problems I've never had before. I'm scared to death of what is happening to me. Im only 25 and I don't know why but my body is acting as though it is unable to repair itself.

Thank you for your understanding. I honestly wish I could go back and undo this I was able to cover the flare ups with make up but I wanted to help solve the problem before it got any worse. My whole life is falling apart now I used to model. I can't do that anymore. Every doctor I go to can't explain what is happening to me. I can't handle life anymore. I'm scared to death. I thought it would help put my rosacea into remission I never thought I could develop all these problems. I'm constantly in pain. I just wish I could be out if pain and that this would settle. I feel horrible for my friends and family as they are watching my body literally fall apart.

What a terrible thing to say! She had rosacea and IPL is a valid treatment. No one deserves disfigurement.

Gypsysoulxo soul? really? & with an xo at the end? Your a AH. I can't believe a person can be so inconsiderate to say something like that to someone. A lot of people go for these kinds of treatments to have normal skin, not have to put tons of make up on. I went for procedures for scars. If I didn't have them then I wouldn't go for anything but it seems your so perfect that you have no idea what people go through every day of their lives with problem skin. I don't wish you any bad luck but you should look in the mirror at yourself because to me you sound like an ugly person, might be beautiful on the out side but ugly on the inside. Shame on you.

Gypsysoul became a member and posted the same day. Just once. Besides being hateful, they are also suspect imo.

Hi Still, I noticed that. I hope she doesn't come back with an attitude like that. These boards are for people either asking for help or telling the good & bad about treatments & for support. That was a mean thing to say to someone going though a bad outcome & having to live with the results because of wanting something fixed & trusting doctors to help. She must be a youngen cause anyone with half a brain or lived life would never say something so cruel.

That's horrible. I just had one down 5 days ago for the same thing - some minor spider veins and rosacea. When I left I had one small mark brownish mark on my forehead and it was gone by the next morning. I would go into the place you had it done and get some resolution. If they say it isn't an issue or it will clear up soon, ask them if they'd mind if you sat in the waiting area and "help sell" the procedure to their other patients/ clients. :)

I"m not sure if I'm looking at the correct picture, but your eyes look the same to me?

Any changes since your last update? How have your eyes been? Mine were affected too. They both sunk back and look smaller on my face.
