I posted about the state of my face in another thread: very oily, blackheads, rosacea, seb derm on chin, and what looks like p.folliculitis on forehead. I'm stopping all antibiotics and topicals, cleaning up my diet, and supplementing with fish oil, zinc, B complex, and probiotics. I'll be visiting my derm Tuesday so my hope is that we can address the folliculitis and possibly start low dose Accutane either now or after I get a laser or light treatment.
I need either IPL or PDL to address some background redness, flushing, PIH, and uneven skin tone/sun damage. My skin has the orange peel look to it and I can't deal with that. It used to be so smooth and fair. What laser or light treatment would you recommend? Purpuric v-beam is not an option, as I can't take two weeks off. I want to avoid looking like a freak so a protocol with minimal downtime is needed.
I have read so much about v-beam and IPL, yet I'm still confused about which option is best for me, and now I have the "will it even work/I've permanently ruined my skin" feeling. |
