There are a number of different types of lasers used to treat rosacea ranging from pulsed dye to Neodynium-YAG to Intense pulsed light treatment. In addition there are a multitude of manufacturers of these lasers. All work to some degree, sometimes with dramatic and other times less impressive results. I know of no single laser system that is any more effective than others to treat your problem. In addition to different laser systems, results with the same laser may vary from patient to patient based on skin type and coloration and the degree of the rosacea.
