Non-bruising V Beam therapy is safe and can be very effective for almost any lesion that involves blood vessels. Many acne scars can develop post inflammatory redness, meaning that the inflammation triggered by the acne lesion persists long after the pimple itself has resolved. The good news is, laser treatment can speed up the resolution, but if you are patient, most of the redness will resolve on its own. As long as your acne is under control and you are not developing new lesions, time is on your side. It may take up to 9 months for the redness to fade, but it will, laser treatment or not.
The medication, in theory, will take approximately 3-5 days to clear your system but some side effects may persist a bit longer. Symptoms of swollen eyes, burning throat and burning ears are unusual and may be a signal of a more severe reaction or symptoms of a coincidental illness. Symptoms such as these should prompt an immediate phone call to your doctor for evaluation. Severe reactions such as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome have been reported with isotretinoin. As previously mentioned, if you are experiencing suggest such side effects please do call your provider. Thanks, Becca
