I've gotten 4 Vbeam treatments from June 2015 to May 2016. The redness has subsided significantly, but I'm worried about it creeping back up in me. What's the longest I can go to maintain the results?
Answer: Recommend doing 6-8 sessions 1-2 week apart Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Vbeam frequency treatments Depending on the severity of the redness, and on each patient, maintenance treatments can be done every 6 months or less. Some patients have done 2-3 treatments and then maintain it with topicals. You have to discuss your best options with your physician.

Answer: Vbeam frequency Thank you for your question. There is certainly variability amongst patients receiving pulse-dye laser treatments for red facial skin conditions. We have had patients undergo monthly treatments to maintain their result with great satisfaction, as well as patients that have only require 2-3 treatments every year or two. We are willing to continue treatments so long as there are vascular targets that are superficial enough in the skin to respond. It is important to educate patients that treatments can also be performed without bruising (purpura), and not disrupt their professional and social activities. I would encourage visiting a board certified facial plastic physician with extensive laser experience to help you achieve your goals with improvement and maintenance.

Answer: Frequency of v-beam maintenance treatments? Generally, the average patient with redness from Rosacea or chronic sun damage should have VBeam® laser treatments roughly every 6 months to maintain results, although individuals do vary.
