I've always had pinkness to my nose and cheeks, but a few years ago it suddenly got out of control and turned into a persistent redness with dark flushing. I did a course of Accutane to control acne, and then waited a year to get V-Beam treatments. The first 2 treatments were non-purpuric (no bruising), and I did not notice any results at all. I did some more research, and went to another doctor in my city (Dr. Herten) He was very friendly and motivated. I've had a total of 3 purpuric treatments. The last treatment I had was 2 days ago, and I took a niacin tablet and opted out of using numbing cream. I'm currently super bruised up, but I'm crossing my fingers for results! I'll follow up with another picture after my bruises heal.
My Doctor: R. Jeffrey Herten, MD
