Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 On exercise, don't do push-ups or any exercise that flushes the face hard, thats how I got rosacia to begin with, just keep it to as mild a flush as you possibly can, lifting weights " super slowly " will give better results than fast heavy lifting and requires less weight and less pumping or flushing action. /// After Photoderm treatment the skin is much more sensitive than before, so you must wash the face much more gently and for a shorter time span or at least use much less finger pressure than before. If your skin looks red and inflamed after photoderm thats because it is, so ease up on it and give it a chance to heal. Also take some benadryl, it relieves itching and helps you relax and sleep, also drink extra water.///I've learned that everything Dr. Nase said would come to pass, did. I used aqua glycolic facial cleanser and it cleared my face, but it also thinned my skin just as he said it would. So while I was taking antibios, I only used neutrogena " extra gentle cleansing bar " , now my skin is back to looking normal after several months of use. I use DHS zinc shampoo every other day and never have any scalp problems going on two years now. Photoderm has been great for me, but I beleive as Dr. Nase said, you have to make sure the doctor is experienced and has had good results with it. PS on the days I don't use DHS zinc I use a regular Ph balanced shampoo likr clairol herbal essences extra body, it rinses very clean. Hope this helps someone!
