Photoderm Recommendations in WA??

[Guest guest]

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
