Is Vbeam for rosacea safe if you also happen to have psoriasis? (photos)

Celes1997Feb 13, 2022
Is it safe to get Vbeam on my face to treat my type 1 rosacea redness/burning if I also have psoriasis? I occasionally get a little psoriasis on my face, could getting the Vbeam done trigger a psoriasis flare up on my face? Would IPL be a better option for me?

Consult with your physician. I typically recommend spacing out cosmetic sessions to allow time for proper healing. At-home microneedling is also a safer alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, BBL, Pico), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. The skin needs time to heal after...
