I have a small recent hypertrophic scar on my nose, which was healing fine but remained slightly red and very slightly raised. I went to a dermatologist today who suggested VBeam and performed a few zaps using a non-purpuric module, so wasn't too intense and did not hurt. However, my scar instantly swelled up and became more raised and red right after, this has continued for 6 hours, I'm scared it won't improve. If I put pressure on the scar it remains flat for a while before raising again.
I developed flushing after a 2 month round of prednisone. It's a side effect of the steroid that my dr said would go away after stopping. However, I stopped the meds about 10 months, but the flushing hasn't stopped. It spans over my face/neck/chest & is super hot/painful/distracting. I was told it's rosacea & so far I've gotten 2 laser treatments. I'm worried bc I've noticed the really hot feeling is super prominent along my jawbone. Can the laser treatment actually make the flushing worse?
I have a few pinprick sized red spots on my lower lip that my doc says are vascular. I've had v beam on my nose and cheeks before and it worked well for me. Is it also safe to use in the lip area? Any increased risk of side effects? Also, are these usually due to sun damage? I'm fair-skinned/red hair, 48 yrs old. My derm said vascular issues on the lip are fairly unusual.
I'm considering having V Beam treatment on my face for some small capillaries on my chin, nose, moustache and cheek. I have mild rosacea and seb derm but have it under control for the most part. What are the chances of Hypo/Hyper pigmentation contrast if I do one spot at a time? What would be considered a low setting? Am I risking hair loss at a low setting on my beard/moustache? Any other side effects I need to be cautious of in terms of permanent, ongoing appearance? Thanks. OGrey
Hello! I have a type 1 roscea and I'm having a laser v-beam treatment. I read some positives reviews about Soolantra and I would like to give it a try. Do you know if there could be any side effects using the cream and having one laser session a month at the same time? Thanks in advance for your answer!
