Indentation from V Beam?

April 23, 2016
Asked By:kjriz in Atlanta, GA

I've had vbeam treatments for 2 years to treat rosacea redness with great results. Ive done about 5 per year. I'm 3 week post recent treatment and have noticed an indentation on one cheek. It's definitely new and seems to be getting more prominent each day. About the size of an eraser tip. Could this be damage from the laser? What other possibilities?

Self tanning spray and V-beam. Any suggestions?
