I don't mean 2 be a pest but can these questions be answered

[YankeesRtheBest]

I'll do anything to find out this information, I feel completly clueless..

**How I can help direct my local laser physician in treating me with the NLITE for preventing/reversing early stage rhinophyma (how to point it, technique, settings, etc.) and the best settings for treating broken blood vessels with the YAG.
**Are the settings below the best settings for using the Lumenis One or are these for the older IPL machines? Does anyone know what the best settings are for each aspect of rosacea with the lumenis, YAG, and NLITE??

1. Treatment of telangiectasia -- 590 filter, triple pulse, high
energy (38 to 45 joules).
2. Treatment of chronic facial redness -- start with 550 or 570
filter, single pulse, high energy (35 to 45 joules). Double or
triple pulses may be ineffective because first pulse may cause
blanching. So, you want to hit these suckers quickly with one
pulse
at a lower wavelength that corresponds with a depth just below the
epidermis.
3. Treatment of flushing -- after inducing a flush, treat with 590
filter, double pulse, moderate energy (35 to 40 joules).
4. Treatment of feed vessels (primary branches in mid dermis)
during
flush -- treat with 640 filter, triple pulse, moderate energy (35
to 42 joules).
Once again, these are just general guidelines based on theory and
clinically tested.

Thanks I appreciate it. -Chris

As far as I can see in previous posts, these are settings for the lumenis one. You might want to check other boards for sure (Rosacea Support and ESFB), as there has been much discussion about this.

Dr. Nase posted frequently on that board - boy do we miss him - and it got a little wierd there for a while. But previous posts are helpful in answering questions.

Please be careful with your settings, and make sure that your doctor knows what he/she is doing - that they have had considerable experience with whatever machine they are using and can put you in contact with patients who have success in their treatments.
