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: 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.
