Sorry, pc error...here it is: Hi Mark, i totally understand that you are exited to get a pdl treatment.I had >10 and only little improvement in normal redness...flushing was as worse than ever before.Then I had treatments vith the longpulsed dye laser(V-star,v-beam) and had an improvement of 60-90% in normal redness (it's not the same everyday)- and good improvement in flushing.But the parameters that must be used for this condition are so strong that you have very strong purpura and swelling in your face. Soon I'll try the Versa pulse laser and Rick just had a KTP laser treatment, so we'll se what works best for our condition.If the Versa pulse and the KTP won't work then I'll continue with V-Star. After the V-star treatment you won't be able to go outside for 5 days coz your skin looks very bad but till now it's the only thing that really should work for the most of us.Some are resistant, they should search for other methods like sclerotherapy or botox injection. Think about it and don't overrate the article on sadhelp/kp/.....coz if you think you can go to a dye laser treatment and then just get cured you'll be very very disappointed. P.S. And don't expose your facial skin to sun without sunblocker everytime you go out into the sun.Best with a couperose sun face balm(Marbert)!!!Through the sun, the blood vessels grow! All the best, John
