The best and only treatment is the IPL. IPL (intense pulse light) will actively go after the blood vessels in your skin which is the root cause of your redness from acne rosacea. It will not cause any reaction to your acne; in fact, when combined with Levulan (photosensitizer) it can actually treat the acne. When you seek a consultation, make sure you ask them what kind of IPL since IPL's are not made the same (just like not all cars are made the same).

Because our office is a laser dermatology practice, we do not focus on products, but rather laser treatments. Typically patients have already tried the over the counter products and medications by the time they consider laser treatments. Our patients with Acne Rosacea respond very well to pulsed dye laser treatments and we think this would be a good
option for you as well. Good luck.

I don’t have cystic acne. In fact, my face is clear right now, except for a bit of texture. But I am Hispanic and I suffered from bad moments of acne in the past year. There are a lot of dark spots left over and they are not going away. I want to try Accutane to prevent any future pimples. I’ve also seen people have such flawless skin while on Accutane and wonder if I could get on it just to help my severe hyperpigmentation. Thank you.
