Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This laser closes blood vessels to tackle redness and rosacea, and gurus who have used it report strong results, though the number of sessions needed varies. Most patients see significant improvement in rosacea, facial flushing, and visible blood vessels with between two to six treatments spaced weeks apart, with yearly maintenance sessions after that. One thing to keep in mind: some bruising right after treatment is a sign the laser delivered enough energy to work, and protecting skin from sun exposure afterward is crucial, since sun exposure or rosacea flares can undo the results.
