I watched the rosacea forum with distraught. Many of these people were selling RLT and adding testimonials. I was approached by over a dozen people making commission off of this device. The results are tainted and skewed and unethical. People who sound off are banned or attacked.

The interesting thing I found that at first it may help some, but look at those same people, they have stopped using them a couple months in. Everything about them is theoretically unsound.

Here is a partial list taken from one of Dr. Nase's posts:

1. It increases the growth of blood vessels exponentially
2. It increases blood flow by up to 300% for 8 to 10 hours
3. It increases the production of the three worst substances for rosacea, NF KappB, VEGF and nitric oxide
4. It causes increase in fibroplasia - rhinophyma and orange peel skin
5. It increases ATP which the NRS has shown to cause outbreaks and papules
6. There are significant numbers of side effects including first and second degree burns. He then copied and pasted a half dozen incidents reported by the FDA.
7. Worst of all, people are putting these machines together without any bakground in biophysics, so sudden energy surges can cause permanent facial burns or scarring
8. Dr. Nase said that laser physicians are now treating RLT cases to undo the increased redness, flushing and burning.
9. He did mention one form of rosacea that it might help, steroid rosacea.
10. The key thing to remember is that many of those people are selling machines and making up their own testimonials.

If I am wrong about any of these points Im sure Dr Nase will correct them. Its just not smart.
