when I started high school I started to flush really bad. It became so out of control and that i quit school and became very depressed. i also started having bad panic atacks that made it worse. I just turn red for any reason I hate it and am glad to know that others understand what i’m dealing with. i’m now 32 and still flush and when people notice they love to draw attention to my red face, which makes me even more flushed. Please help i feel like if i didn’t have this I would be able to live the life I was meant to live

Hi Tommy,

IPL can have less downtime, as can other more gentle forms of laser like V-beam. As to whether IPL is generally considered better than laser, that is a difficult question to answer categorically. If you find a good IPL doctor then I think you can expect good results for your rosacea.

You might find the Laser & IPL Forum helpful.

I have a red face.I went to the doctor and he done lazer.It worked and got rid of some reddness.However after geting it done i could not go anywhere for a week because Marks appeared on my skin then disapppeared after a week.I heard that IPL is better than lazer as it leaves no marks that need to be healed and also does a larger surface area of your face.Is that true and do you think its better?

Hello Felipe,

The Accutane Prescribing Information is pretty direct on this question “Do not have cosmetic procedures to smooth your skin, including waxing, dermabrasion, or laser procedures, while your are using Accutane and for at least 6 months after you stop. Accutane can increase your chance of scarring from these procedures. Check with your doctor for advice about when you can have cosmetic procedures.”

all the best,
davidp.
