I have neurogenic rosacea and thus far beta blockers haven't worked, antibiotics haven't worked, LDN hasn't worked and laser is what caused it in the first place. My only option left is cymbalta which I really don't want. So before I relent and take it I will be trying microbotox which I have scheduled for next month. I have like 1% faith in it. Wish me luck!

I was wondering how are you. I also have damaged skin by the Cuter laser. I do not trust doctors anymore and someone else who would have to do some surgery for me. I find it too risky and I am afraid it will get worse. Does any cream bring you relief? Have you tried Eucerin AntiREDNESS Concealing Day Care SPF 25 with green pigment?
It has a composition that calms the nerves. It gives some relief somehow. You can use a delicate powder on the cream that does not irritate you.
I don't know if there is any better option for now with delicate, thin and hyper-sensitive skin where you feel the nevus burned by lasers.
Additionally, if you feel inflamed there is also powdered Amla that you can use externally to provide relief from inflammation. The antibiotic Azithromecin can help in inflammation.
If there is no inflammation, then the Eucerin AntiREDNESS Concealing Day Care SPF 25 cream + organic powder may be a good option.
Additionally, supplements decongesting blood vessels: Rutin, Quercitin, vitamin C and perhaps supplements for nerve regeneration, e.g. vitamin B1 and others.
I also read about some things that can accelerate the regeneration and thickening of the skin - it's about increasing testosterone that can affect iLast edited by przemek; 6 May 2021, 10:45 AM.

Here is what we do know about botox for rosacea.
Btw it says I don't have permission to look at the last link

I think that you should stop believing that someone will do some treatment for you, after which your skin will be healthy. It doesn't work for our skins because they aren't "normal" right now ..
I used to think that I would go somewhere for a treatment and my skin would be normal, but I only worsened the condition of my skin. So be careful after these treatments. Our skins have a damaged protective barrier and it is very easy to surprise them. My experience tells me that you had to go nowhere, only on your own, help yourself, get interested in what can really help and not believe what those who want to earn from you say. That's the truth.
I assume that I did not accept the fact that my skin sometimes turns a little red - I helped myself a little then, but I wanted more and it all just destroyed the skin - I trusted too much of those who made it, but I felt that it could be risky, they know better than I do and that was not true.

Honestly, barely anywhere here seems to do it so I just went with them since they have the best reviews...I just read that the aquagold tool they used is similar to microneedles though so I don't know if it's actually for the best...

do not do this. The chances of success are very little or none for me. The chances of skin deterioration are much greater.
Especially since your skin has been damaged by IPL, which was supposed to improve the condition of your skin, but it worsened. This is additional information that your skin may be already delicate, thin and sensitive and now additionally damaged by the laser. This treatment can make it worse, for your skin barrier it can be a big problem.
If the skin turns red and is not additionally damaged by some aggressive treatments, it is often still bearable and you can survive with it, but when you get burned and some seriously interfering treatments, the problem becomes incomparably bigger

Using botox to treat rosacea requires significant expertise, but any doctor can offer it as a treatment for rosacea without any training.

Have you read anywhere that IPL destroys the skin's protective barrier? Did the doctor who did the treatment say? Probably not .... they never talk because they want to earn money.
I have concerns about invasive procedures because I have already survived it and I have a lesson.
After all, you will do what you want, I am not persuading you to do anything, I just wrote my opinion, which you do not have to take into account. However, if you do this procedure, write about it later. There is simply no certain information that it will help you, all that is is questionable in my opinion.

From what I have read, it is an injection procedure, so each puncture destroys the skin to some extent. If it is the same procedure, it is called MicroBotox (Mezobotox) and costs 175 euros. But I haven't read anything about it in the context of rosacea.
