Three sessions of Photoderm have not smoothed out skin or curtailed the flushing. Has anyone tried microbrasion? (Who, and with what results?) Hi, I have had 4 microdermabrasion treatments so far and I have had no negative reactions from them. My skin is looking smoother. I plan on doing 11 treatments. I have also had Photoderm and it doesn't smooth the texture out. It does help with the swelling and it helped to get rid of some small red bumps that refused to go away. I would go slowly with the microdermabrasion. It is an abrasive procedure. It feels like you are being sanded! I don't know if it is a procedure that is meant for everyone that has rosacea, but so far its working for me. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read several articles about it, with mixed conclusions about it for rosacea -- some have been proceed-with-caution positive and others have been unequivocally negative. Would either of you give it a red, yellow, or green light? Thanks! Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
