For those unknowing, I'm talking about keratosis pilaris rubra faceii.

IPL therapy is shown to decrease facial redness by using a broad spectrum of light to target specific areas of the skin.
KPRF is caused by abnormal keratinization within the hair follicles, causing them to become ingrown, hence the redness.

Theoretically, IPL would damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth, maybe even mitigating current irritation.

Thoughts? May already be a valid solution and I'm just going to look like a 'tarded greycel.

The good thing with IPL devices is that they're relatively cheap compared to the fractional carbon dioxide lasers.
If you're able to get a good one ($400-500), treat yourself at home for a 2-3 months. KPRF would MASSIVELY improved with a fraction of the price to co2 lasers.
