Hi everyone,
I contacted Dr. Soldo and he graciously accepted an offer to do a question and answer session with us. We have a week or 2 to get our questions together before I present them to him. Please submit your questions here. Thanks.
Best wishes,

Hello Melissa
Nick Soldo is an extremely respected professional in his field so I am sure a Q & A session will be very useful for those interested in laser treatments.
Thanks for arranging as I know how these things can take time and effort to organise.

? for dr. Soldo
HI
I have viewed the video a zillion times and wish to heavens that my derm would too. I feel that he knows zilch about rosacea and less about what is going on in his treatment rooms which are staffed by "operators" at the best
here's my question.Thanks so much for offering your time and compassion for those of us struggling for normal lives
in your protocol, how many miliseconds for each pulse? is the delay between each pulse 20 ms. I understand the filters ( 640, 590, 560 ) the joules 20 but I am not sure about the reference to 3-20 ms
In your experience and expertise, have you had any paltients who were not helped by the IPL treatments and were more successful with the pulsed dye lasers. if so, which one or ones.
Sincerest thanks
Linda

Hi Dr. Soldo,
Thanks again for agreeing to do the Q and A.
What is your preferred treatment of choice (i.e. VBeam, KTP-532, Nd:Yag 1064, IPL) for the following symptoms:
1. flushing with burning
2. papules and/or pustules
3. permanent redness
Thanks,
Melissa

Dr. Soldo,
What do you do for a patient who has been unresponsive to laser or IPL?
And, is there a maximum # of treatments where you feel doing any more would not be of any benefit or do you have no limit as long as the patient is improving? That is, are there any negative effects over time that could happen with repeated IPL or laser?
Thanks again,
Melissa

Hi Dr Soldo and many thanks for agreeing to do this Q and A.
Do you ever treat the eyelids and if you do how do you protect the eye?
What treatment would you think best for potential early stage rhinophyma?
If rosacea is mild would you recommend starting laser/IPL treatment early to avoid progression?
Many thanks
Sarah
