Well on Tuesday I'm going to a appointment for to see if they can help me with me acne, well for anyone here what can I expect to see if I do get this done, will acne go and stay away or is it only temporary, also I've been reading up and you can get blisters and stuff how bad do they get?

i've been reading reviews on this and a majority of people have been getting bad reults breakouts to the skin and the rosacea being more red and painful. Also it depends on ur age range !!

You will often find people post they have had negative results with IPL, but then find inthe weeks/months following the treatment their condition improves, that is quite often the case in rosecea (from what i have read)

Alot of people having betting more clearer with the Fish Oil Capsules, your DR is right to recomend those. I'm taking it with nice results i'm taking about 3 capsules a day tho.

Also I definetly agree an in home treatment is the best investment!! Alot of people having been raving about a machine called the Baby Quasar it's about $450 a little bit pricey but if you buy direct from the company you get customer satisfaction guarantee which is a plus for me!

The pill he prescribed was minocylin(sp) and some cream that has bp in it. Anybody had experience with this minocylin stuff?
