Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Hello, I am new to the group but have been suffering from rosacea since I was 17. I am at the stage now where the flushing is permenent along with " pimples " on my cheeks, upper-lip, and forehead. I have given up on the prescription creams/antibiotics/cleaners. They seem to be effective for only the first few months of use and afterwards the symptoms come back. So, I was hoping that some of the more " experienced " members could help me with my decision to get photofacial/photoderm. First of all, what is the difference? Which is better? On one hand, I have heard that the photofacial is more comprehensive - covering the entire face, on the other hand photoderm treatments are supposedly more aggresive - more effective in the long run. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for derms in WA? I have had consultations with both Dr (Tacoma) and Dr Voss (Kirkland)and was wondering if anyone had any experience with either doctor or could recommend another one. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks, Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
