Sometime during my late 30's I developed some diffuse redness and broken capillaries on my cheeks. Not sure why -- hormones? I had 3 children and went on to the Pill after my last was born for 6 years. Fast forward to March, I had a micro dermabrasion facial and had my 1st flare up of Rosacea...I am now 45. Felt some burning and experienced some P and P's. I am considering IPL or V beam but very frightened by some stories I have read on this forum. Which procedure is less risky?
Answer: Vbeam laser treatment for rosacea Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: IPL for Rosacea For treating rosacea, I would recommend IPL over VBeam. IPL is generally faster and less painful than VBeam.

Answer: Which laser or light device for rosacea The device of choice for mild rosacea would be IPL or BBL, not Vbeam. Vbeam can cause more bruising and downtime, although for more severe rosacea or for larger vessels, Vbeam is preferred. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
