Resurfacing won't help much at all. We get great results combining Cuter'a Laser Genesis with IPL for redness.

For Acne Rosacea, you should only use the IPL. It specifically targets the redness by attacking the red blood cells which cause the redness. With the IPL you will get some skin rejuvenation of the skin. Because of the added redness, the IPL will give you more skin rejuvenation than the average person. However, if you have deep lines then the skin laser resurfacing treatment might be needed because it is stronger.

The best treatment for your Rosacea would be oral medication, topical medication and/or Photofacial ( IPL) treatments.

Neither one of these treatments is the best available for Rosacea. The best laser for Rosacea is called a pulsed dye laser and there are two leading brands, the Cynosure V-Star and the Candela V-Beam. The 585 nm wavelength for these lasers is far superior to IPL or laser resurfacing for the treatment of this vascular condition.
