Hyperpigmentation or hemosiderin after Vbeam? (photos)

Question

Hello, sorry for my English, I come from Belgium. I had a vbeam perfecta purpuric treatment 12 days ago and I am still marked. Is this normal? The bruises are gone but leave a red-brown color on my skin. Is it hyperpigmentation or hemosiderin? Vitamin K oxide and vitamin C can help? Thanks a lot for your answers

Hyperpigmentation after a laser procedure, like Vbeam, is common in many patients. Be sure to follow your doctor’s aftercare protocol, which may include peels, facials, etc., which may help improve your overall results. Most importantly, wear sun protection, even if you’re not in the direct sun. After receiving a laser treatment, the skin is more susceptible to the sun’s harmful rays, which may increase the chances of hyperpigmentation.
