Laser, IPL or what for this redness?

I have this redness which is particularly pronounced around my nose, my chin and on my cheeks. I also have some thread veins around my nose. If it’s rosacea it’s not acnaeic. What treatments are available that would actually make a difference - laser, IPL etc? They’re all costly and so I want to make sure I’m asking for the right treatment rather than paying for one that claims a lot but doesn’t achieve much.

In the short term I’m looking at CC creams but would love something to make a permanent or semi-permanent difference.

I had a laser treatment and it was very successful, it was for rosacea and thread veins - the thread veins do eventually come back but it’s been two years and little deterioration. It was £200 per round, I had two but actually only needed one.

they also lasered a couple of sun spots but this didn’t work at all for me

Thanks @okydokethen. What kind of laser treatment was it, do you remember?

You might be better to see a dermatologist for reliable advice and cosmetic treatments.

I’ve had laser treatment several times . It’s called BBL and Moxi. Really helped with redness, sun damage and veins.
