Would a chemical peel help my rosacea?

Not typically: While co2 lasers have been used, chemical peels are generally not recommended for individuals with acne rosacea. There is some anecdotal reports that intradermal injection with off label use of Botox may help.

May make it worse: Acids can irritate skin and exacerbate rosacea.

Usually not: Treatment with laser, ipl, or topicals like Metrogel are more typical for rosacea.
