Vbeam + Results Q&A

I've gotten 4 Vbeam treatments from June 2015 to May 2016. The redness has subsided significantly, but I'm worried about it creeping back up in me. What's the longest I can go to maintain the results?

Can I expect quick results from 1 treatment since the area is so small/ light pink? Do I have to use a high setting to see quick results even though the spot is so small? Thank you!

Hi to everyone, I have had my VBeam treatment done (3 days ago) and I have been wondering if it's normal to see this amount of dark red and scabs? I got it done because I had an impetigo infection months ago and it left a small red mark. I have never expected such a dramatic result after VBeam and I'm worried it won't fade so easily, thank you or your opinion, J.

Hello. I have very large and dialated purple/blue veins inder my eyes. I have seen three plastic surgeons. All three say theirs is the best however - as a result - I am getting three separate anwers. Thoughts?

I am receiving VBeam treatments for my post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. My doctor has spaced them 2 weeks apart. I have heard most people space them 3-4 weeks apart. If I space them further apart will I get better results? What is the benefit to spacing them close together?

I have very pale skin with red flushing areas across my face, possibly (likely?) due to rosacea. I am having VBeam used to reduce the redness. I understand the laser only targets the red pigment, so would it be advisable that I instigate some flushing immediately before the procedure, in order to have more of the redness targeted?

I have had a few sessions of VBeam with fairly aggressive settings for the treatment of erythematotelangiectatic rosacea but I have had five sessions and the results have been rather slow (although there has been some improvement). Please could a qualified Vbeam specialist let me know the most aggressive non-purpuric (or borderline purpuric) settings and/or number of passes for optimal results. I have an appointment tomorrow so a speedy response would be much appreciated!

Ive had 8 VBeam treatments in the last year. Started conservatively at 10ms, 10mm and 7j and progressively reduced the pulse duration down to 3ms, 7mm and 7j. Each treatment involved just one pass over each cheek area. Results have been very minor, some reduction in permanent redness caused by broken veins but hardly any improvement in flushing / blushing when its triggered. What are the best settings in your experience?

I *think* I notice some improvement, but the my skin still has noticeably red areas and capillaries. Do you think its still too early to assess the treatments effectiveness? Or would some of those capillaries disappear immediately? Some of the redness could be from swelling. My face still is slightly swollen. But not sure if this is the best its going to be? Maybe I just need more treatments?

Im 2 days post vbeam, swollen and still having periods of flushing which last an hour or more. Is this normal and will the flushing undo any results from the vbeam??
