I have been to dr. George Hruza at the Laser and Dermatologic institute
in saint louis three times,now. He uses IPL but i go to him for VBEam He is curteous and knowledgeable and spends a lot of time with me. I send him dr. nase's articles and he reads them all and comments. I am seeing results.
the site is easy to find , sorry I don't have the link handy. Just type in Hruza and town and country , MO in google.
cheers

I agree. He's a good doctor.

Interesting. I spoke to their staff/a nurse (it was a couple of years ago), and I didn't find that their answers to my questions were satisfactory. I was pressing them on flushing treatment, not generalized redness.

It's great that you're getting some relief. :D I'm a laser-recalcitrant case, apparently. Daily red light treatments seem to be the best answer to my flushing.

I'm going to try and see if some test patches from a couple of local IPL docs can take care of my superficial redness, and we'll go from there.

Interesting -- I noticed on his website that he actually has an LED Device you can get treatment with called Gentlewaves LED.

Quote via the website:
GentleWaves LED

"A no donwtime, no side effect, no pain treatment that stimulates skin rejuvenation through collagen stimulation. The GentleWaves treatment can be done alone or to boost the benefits from other rejuvenation treatments such as FotoFacial RF, SmoothBeam Laser or CoolGlide Genesis treatment."

Interesting... first time I've seen an LED-type product used in a physician's office.

There is a poster of different laser and light treatments in my dermatologist's office and it says that red/blue light therapy are used for Acne and rosacea, when I asked him about IPL and laser (I just wanted to hear what he had to say, I wasn't planning on having any treatments done by him) he said that that he wasn't "fond" of using them. Whatever that means, but apparantely some docs are using this type of light therapy for rosacea. Although I have never seen any pics of imrovement from this therapy by doctors.

Yeah. That's an LED array of 590nm LEDs. I've sent a couple of emails to Adrian Warburton; he's helped explain a bit of the LED science. Apparently, wavelengths of around 600-660nm are helpful for collagen production and reducing inflammation.
The LED array I have has 1176 red LEDs at 660m. I think the Gentlewaves has 2000 LEDs, I'm correct.
Anyone can build there own "Gentlewaves" if they want to. I'm having continual progress with the 660nm LEDs, so I don't think the yellow 590nm LEDs would be necessary (at least this is what my emails from Adrian Warburton has led me to conclude).
