Are photofacials(ipl) treatments really good for rosacea?

I have had 2 very expensive treatments and I dont see a big differance. I was told 3 treatments would do it but I dont think so. I am wondering if they set the laser on lower settings so you have to come back more so they can make more money?Are photofacials(ipl) treatments really good for rosacea?
Yes, IPL can treat rosacea -- but it doesn't cure it. Rosacea is a chronic, progressive condition that can be controlled -- but not cured. DPL (dye-pulsed laser) can be more effective than IPL. Both of these treatments work much better in people with very fair, light skin than in people with darker complexions. If you have a dark complexion, these treatments would be a waste of time. DPL is probably more effective with fewer treatments, so it is probably more cost effective than IPL. You need, generally, at least five IPL treatments for good results. One or two DPL treatments can show results for rosacea.





If you are going to a ';medi-spa'; instead of seeing a dermatologist for your IPL treatments, you may not be receiving treatment from someone adequately trained to perform the procedure.
