Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Group, After my long search for the best ipl practitioner in the Toronto area, i've decided on Image Sculpting. I have my first appointment booked with the doctor on April 20. I would like some advice on what to do during photoderm. What topicals, orals, etc. should be used to combine with the photoderm for the best results. AT the present time i am taking clonodine to fight the blushing, altered my diet, increased water, taking ester c, grape seed, flaxseed, and borage. Topically i am using rosacea ltd - but will discontinue before and during photoderm, and i am using untinted zinco. Is there a soothing cream to use for flushing during photoderm? I think i read somewhere that i should not use the ltd disks during this time. Should topical niacin be used before photoderm? If so, where do you buy this? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Don't take clonidine for about 24 hours prior to tx. Wash your face and shave VERY CLOSELY immediately before the tx. Don't put anything on your face for the first couple of tx's, just let them zap you. Later in the game you can address topical niacine if need be. Definitely continue the Ester C and GSE during tx series.
