Rosacea / flushing / facial redness treatment report from: Dermot

Would they recommend this: Yes

TreatmentType: Photoderm, view reports of all Photoderm treatments

Details: I have now had 3 treatments with Dr Patterson, starting at 24/25 joules for face and cheeks , moving up to 28 joules on each. I had moderate rosacea on my nose and cheeks with a large number of broken veins etc under each eye and a large amount of redness present aswell .Also i used to flush constantly and severly. After 3 treatments the results are to be honest everything i hoped and the difference is really phenomenal. The broken veins and capilliaries are all gone now under each eye and my permanent diffuse redness has pretty much disappeared. I should also say that my flushing has decreased by approx (80-90%).The only time i proper flush i when im in the gym and lifting very heavy weights(i think everybody flushes then though!!..there would be something wrong if i wasn't!!), but even then i dont go purple or get pains in my face just red...but it goes after an hour or so of returning home. The treatments themselves are bloody painful and i get nasty flair ups of p/ps for a few weeks after each treatment..but it doesnt bother me really as the results are v good. Dr patterson introduced me to a new regime and products for my face which really are excellent especially the spf protectant moisturizer.I am going to go back for 1/2 more treatments as i am looking for perfection and the way i reason it if it got this good after 3 , how good could it look after 5.
