PhotoDerm Survey- For the survivors...

[Guest guest]

I am now done with 3 treatments and have the fourth in a week. The

first 2 were with 570, double pulse, at 47j and 48j. I noticed

significant improvements at times and other times not. It seems to

come and go without warning. The 3rd treatment we switched to a

triple pulse and upped the joules to 51. I think this was more

beneficial than the double pulses but I still flare-up at times.

Granted it is not AS red as before and not as spread out anymore. Now

it seems to be my worse areas of my inner cheeks. However, I will

continue to get at least 2 more treatments done and will probably

keep increasing settings. Then I will probably come back and get the

worse areas spot treated. Possibly with the 590 filter because I

don't need facial hair up there anyways.

For those of you who have had the full set of 5 and beyond done, what

percentage of rosacea did it ultimately get rid of?? And what is your

position on using the 590 filter on later treatments as compared to

sticking with the 570??? I would say I have experienced a 40%

reduction in cea at this point but still flare when in

interviews, presentations, warm places... I'm trying to get a feel

for what I and others can expect after the full set of tx's. Thank

you.
