YAG Laser Vs. Vbeam for Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea

Hello, 

I have both of these laser types and I personally prefer the v-beam as the gold standard for facial vascular erythema and telangectasias.  The trick will be getting results without purpura.  Seek a dermatologist with a great deal of experience with this device.

OK, speaking on probability, and hence exceptions may apply. I treat at least 3-5 laser rosacea patients per day, using all forms of vascular laser, from the 595 V beam , 7 55 Alex, 1064 Long pulse Nd Yag, to non -laser treatments such as IPL. 90% of ETR or erythematotelangiectatic rosacea respond best to v beam, some cases respond better to BBL or IPL, and a small number of cases respond well to 1064 in a paintbrush low fluence (low energy level setting). Hope this helps, RegardsDr Davin LimLaser Dermatologist.
