Re: IPL

Aimee,
That's an interesting suggestion about the vinegar solution. how long does it
last in the fridge before you make a new one? it doesn't dry out your skin?
Thanks.
Karolina

1 tsp white vinegar to 2 cups tap water. Keep in bowl and in the fridge. I also
have my washcloths in the bowl. Then i use the compresses about 3 times a day.
Helps stop the flushing both post laser and beyond.

This is something I read on this forum a while ago and it works! I cleanse my face with cetaphil and then use 2% iodine. Just swipe it across the problem area...

Be careful to to a test spot with the iodine first. I tried this and ended up with both sides of my chin burned and I looked rediculous for weeks while it...

Thank you, Aimee! I will try it for sure. I was just concerned about the vinegar drying out my face even more than it already is. I guess we will see. ...

I did IPL and Fraxel together and my skin became MUCH worse. :( That was about a year ago and I really regret it. I don't think the IPL was the culprit though...

Hi Lee, I have been told by my derm to never ever have that as a solution/ treatment to rosacea. Just the thought of it makes me shutter lol. But it's worth...

I second that about the Fraxel.  When it came out several years ago I had two treatments.  The first went fine but they increased the intensity on the second...
