Re: [rosacea] PULSE DYE LASER

I'd greatly appreciate any more info you could provide me with PDL, Joy. My doctor only offers the V-beam, but I'd be interested to know locations where they perform Cynergy in case there's one that's not too far from me. I'm in Arizona. I'd like to know the joules used, and how long do you find that you're bruised and/or have increased pinkness/redness. Would you say that you didn't really notice the change until 1 month later or was it noticeable sooner? I was also wondering why you didn't have a good experience with the Candela V-beam. My skin has become more pink since a full flare that started in January, and now my eyes are blood shot and sore all the time. The flushing has improved, but its still bad when I sleep at night and I feel like I'm getting pinker everday. I don't have the papules or pustules, but I do have seb derm..the skin on my cheeks and nose becomes flakey if I try to wear makeup and I'm not sure if this is seb derm or eczema or just rosacea
dermatitis. I've changed my diet a bit...although I've always eaten very healthy. I take more supplements, but nothing seems to be helping. I'd be interested to know how you changed your diet to address yeast, viruses, bacteria, and parasites. I take doxycycline (50 mg every other day) so I'm not sure thats maybe causing or at least fueling the seb-derm and skin peeling or if it has no effect. I'm a female and haven't had any female problems with taking the dox, but i do take acidophilus so maybe that's why.
Thanks

I should clarify between the pulse dye and the Cynergy 3 dual PDL+Yag. I did not have good experiences with the Candela V-Beam. I did have a great experience with the Cynergy. It has been one month since my first treatment with Cynergy, and I've noticed a substantial improvement in the visible spider veins, diffused redness, and blushing. I can find out the joules for you when I go for my second visit on Saturday. I can share with you what works for me with PDL:
I can tolerate light purpura, the treatments are ineffective and highly inflammatory for me without the purpura, and too much purpura lends itself to more hyperpigmentation and a longer recovery.

In addition to the work I have done with laser surgery, I have also completely changed my diet, addressed yeast, viruses, bacteria, and parasites in my system, and eliminated all toxic products from my life and body. I can truly say that I am on an amazing healing path with a huge decrease in symptoms(if I can call them that anymore). I would be very happy to share with you my story is you are interested.

Hi Joy,
Did you find the pulse dye treatments reduced diffuse redness or mainly just spider veins? Did you find after you healed from your initial v-beam that your skin improved at all. Do you know what joules were used? My doctor recommended it as well.
Thanks

I have had several pulse dye treatments. My initial treatment was with the V-beam, in which I had considerable purpura and downtime. Last month I had the Cynergy 3 laser which is the v-beam and Yag laser- a simultaneous pulse. The results have been great- I healed in 2 weeks, the purpura and pigmentation went away quickly and the capillaries were much less noticable after one treatment.

I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE HAD THAT TREATMENT BEFORE AND HOW IT WORK?
AND IF IT WORK?
