I had septoplasty surgery a week ago, to correct deviated septum. My nose also looks better now, the tip is lifted up a bit, and a bump that was on my nose is smaller. The problem is that I also have Rosacea. So, I'm planning to do Vbeam laser treatment for the redness. The question is, is it safe to do it two weeks after septoplasty? Also, during the Vbeam treatment safety eyewear is placed to protect the eyes, and it is pressed hard on my eyes and also touching my nose a little bit.
I got the smoothbeam and Vbeam laser done at the same time. The first 24 hours, it looked better. Now, it seems my acne scars are getting deeper instead of less deep. I may just be imaging it in anxious anticipation of results that haven't come, but Idk. I've also gotten a few new breakouts, including one huge puss-filled which I'm now letting dry up. It's become kind of a scab. Last thing - some of the acne scars are filling up with what appears to be new skin - is this normal or a bad sign?
I had a v beam laser treatment a week ago on my face, the bruises are now fading and red but my skin in those areas is very dry and peeling off is this normal? I have avoided sun exposure and I am using subscreen during the day and a plane moisturizing cream at night
Help! I had the Vbeam 5 days ago on my nose for blood vessels. The color has not improved at all, it actually got worse. Im afraid the bruising will go away but now Im left with this red/purple nose. Is this normal for day 5 or is something wrong?
I had vbeam 1 week ago for capillaries and diffuse redness around my nose and mouth. All the capillaries are gone, but the overall redness did not significantly improve. I don't have rosacea so the redness appears to be a combination of the capillaries, chronic irritation/thin skin, and previous acne. Therefore, my question is whether a second vbeam is likely to improve the redness? Or help keep the broken capillaries away? Else, I may just stick to the 1 treatment. Any alternatives?
Treatment was for facial redness Is this possibly part of the healing process, as my doctor said it can take 6 weeks to achieve full results (and then more treatments may be needed depending on results)? I avoided any harsh skin products, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for the past 2 weeks. I've only just started to spot treat minor acne lesions with benzoyl peroxide. The only extended time in the sun I got was about 30 minutes of golf 1 week after treatment and I was wearing SPF 50
I had a vbeam 1 week ago. The days after I didn't let anything except water on my skin because I wanted to give my sensitive skin time to heal itself and I did not leave the house anyway (so Make-up was not needed). But yesterday I read that that after vbeam it is important to apply moisturizer on your face daily. Do I have to be afraid that the laser was not effective because I did not moisturize enough? Thanks for your answers
I still have a visible red and some purple marks/ blood vessels extended around the outer rim I'm worried that it will not heal properly. It looks much worse then before I got the Vbeam
